Cher and Alexander Edwards, who’d previously dated model Amber Rose, hit it off after a mutual friend, jeweler Loree Rodkin, passed along her number after Paris Fashion Week. Still, Cher was not immediately looking to be in a relationship with the music executive. She previously told friends of hers that dating younger men was not in her future. She even admitted to Entertainment Tonight in October 2023 that she once told Edwards she was “too old” to exchange text messages with him. Additionally, Cher, formerly known as Cherilyn Sarkisian, had expressed concern over what Edwards’ friends might think.
“I was in a place where I couldn’t do much, and I kept saying, ‘I’m not the right woman for you. First of all, I’m 100 years older than you. And secondly, your friends [wouldn’t think you were] cool if you were caught hanging with me, you know?’” Cher shared that Edwards replied, “‘Why don’t you let me be the judge of that?’ And then, we just happened.” With this, the two pursued their relationship, though they did hit some bumps along the way.
