Cher, 77, is letting it be known why chooses to date the younger men. Honestly, according to the legendary diva her explanation is quite simple.
As we all know this conversation comes after Cher has been dating Amber Rose’s ex, Alexander “AE” Edwards who is 38 years old. “I’m really shy when I’m not working and kind of shy around men,” she explained on Wednesday’s episode of “The Jennifer Hudson Show.”
“And the reason I go out with young men is because men my age or older — well, now they’re all dead — but before they just never, they were always terrified to approach me,” she continued. “And younger men were the only ones that [did].”
Cher took the time to address dating younger men topic after Jennifer questioned her about a rumor where people claimed she turned down Elvis Presley back in the day. “It was because I was nervous, and I knew of the people around him, and it wasn’t that they were bad people, it’s just that I was kind of nervous of his reputation,” she explained.
The “Believe” singer, who is one of the best-selling female artists in history with sales of over 100 million records, appeared on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” previously to share some insight into her blossoming romance with the record label executive.
Cher expressed that “on paper, it’s kind of ridiculous,” seemingly referring to the couple’s 40-year age difference, but that certainly hasn’t stopped her from starting a full-on relationship with AE, who she had nothing but positive things to say about. “In real life, we get along great,” she said, as she shared some of her favorite traits about her boo.
Now Cher stated that she usually doesn’t give praise to men who simply didn’t deserve it, but when it comes to AE, she called him “fabulous,” “very kind,” “very smart,” “very talented,” and “really funny.” She concluded by adding that he also happens to be “quite handsome,” giving a clear indication that this relationship could very well be the real deal.
As previously reported, Cher stunned fans when she was first seen out and about with AE a few years ago after photographers spotted them dining out at Craig’s in West Hollywood. While their outing seemed innocent at first, the pair were then snapped holding hands together, sparking a frenzy on Twitter, with people speculating whether they were really dating.
