According to Rose, the two women get along well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I\u2019m very happy that [Alexander is] with Cher because it creates stability for when [our] son goes over there,’ she said on The Jason Lee Podcast<\/a> in March 2024. ‘It’s not all mayhem and stuff.’<\/p>\n

As an older woman, Cher has received more than a little pushback on the difference in her and Edwards’ ages, but that doesn’t seem to bother the unflappable icon.<\/a><\/p>\n

Cher has dated several younger men over the years, including the late Val Kilmer and later his Top Gun co-star Tom Cruise.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Silkwood actress also dated Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora for about a year. The pair went their separate ways in 1990.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amazingly, Cher has been able to remain friends with a good number of her exes, explaining on the Table Manners<\/a>\u00a0podcast in December 2023, ‘I’m close with all of my exes. I’m really close. Yeah. I have a feeling that you have to like someone a lot before you go to bed with them.’<\/p>\n

As for her penchant for younger men, Cher explained on The Jennifer Hudson Show<\/a> in May 2024 it comes partly from necessity.\u00a0\u00a0‘The reason I got with young men is because men my age are older\u2014well, now they\u2019re all dead\u2014but before, they were always terrified to approach me, and younger men\u2014they were raised by women like me.’\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
