Edwards is no stranger to dating in the spotlight, having datedAmber Rosefor three years before their relationship ended in August 2021 because Rose accusedEdwards of cheating on herwithat least 12 different people.
Before Edwards, Cher marriedSonny Bonofrom 1964 to 1975 andGregg Allmanfrom 1975 to 1979. In the 1980s, she dated several men that were decades her junior, includingVal Kilmer,Tom Cruise, and Rob Camilletti.
Sheexplained her reasoning behind dating younger menin an appearance ontheKelly Clarkson Showearlier in December, telling the host that she would’ve “never had a date” had she just stuck to older guys.
“Older men just didn’t like me all that much,” Cher said. “Do you know what I mean? I have had a couple boyfriends that were hovering around my age, but they just didn’t like me for some reason. And maybe younger men don’t care if you’re funny or outrageous and want to do stupid things, and you have the strong personality. I’m not giving up my personality for anybody, okay?”
