Despite the rumors, Cher and her boyfriend Alexander "AE" Edwards are doing just fine.

Edwards, 38, was photographed last weekend at Coachella along with a few women—none of whom were the 78-year-old pop superstar.

However, a rep for Cher shut down speculation the couple had called it quits, telling TMZ they are still together romantically and are very happy. 

The rep clarified that Edwards was merely attending the music festival with friends.

Cher and Edwards began their romance towards the end of 2022. The two briefly broke up in May 2023 but rekindled later that fall.

The singer, who initially had reservations about dating a younger man, described Edwards as a “beautiful man” with “diamond teeth, tattoos, white hair,” and a unique charm in an Oct. 2023 interview with People.

“I hate when people say people are special, but lots of people say I’m special, so I can say that he’s special,” she said at the time. “No matter what happens, I love being with him. He makes me laugh, and we have fun. What I learned is that it’s never too late."

She continued, "If you wrote out all the statistics, you would go, ‘Well, this is doomed.’ But we’ve been together a year, and if it was just a year, it would’ve been worth it. I’ve had the best time.”
