“I’m very shy when I’m not at work, and quite shy when I go around men.”
Cher is currently in a relationship with record executive Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards, 38, and revealed why she prefers to pursue younger men.
She prefers to date men from later generations, who were “raised by women like me” and therefore have never been afraid of her.
“And the reason I started hanging out with young men is because men my age or older – now they’re all dead,” she joked on the chat show “But before they were always afraid to approach me.”
Cher has a long-standing reputation for dating boy toys, like Rob Camilletti, whom she started dating in 1986 when she was 40 and he was 22.
Rob, who became known as the ‘Bagel Boy’ because he worked in a bagel shop, was Cher’s Oscar date when she won best actress for Moonstruck in 1988.
The Believe hitmaker and her boyfriend Alexander have been thriving since they reconciled in September last year.
They did this after reportedly breaking up in May 2023.

Contrary to rumors circulating at the time, the couple was not engaged before their divorce.
After their first meeting during Paris Fashion Week in 2022, the Little Man singer was spotted holding hands with her much younger boyfriend at Craigs in early November 2022.
During their first relationship, Cher joked about her and Alexander’s age difference when a fan asked him what she liked about him on social media.
“He’s kind, smart, hilarious… and we kiss like teenagers,” the I Got You Babe hitmaker candidly replied.
Before dating the iconic singer, Alexander was in a tumultuous relationship with Kanye West’s ex, Amber Rose.
The couple – who share a three-year-old son, Slash Electric Alexander Edwards, split after the Def Jam executive admitted he cheated on his baby mama.
