Cher, 76, has a new man in her life. The icon just confirmed she is dating a much younger man — 36 year-old music executive Alexander “AE” Edwards.
But while she likely expected it, Cher is not here for the hate! Just days after the two were spotted holding hands, the singer responded to criticism about her relationship.
In a since-deleted post on Twitter, the legendary singer wrote: “LOVE DOESN’T KNOW MATH, IT SEES ❤️ ❤️.”
Cher posted a series of tweets that explained that the 40-year age gap is really no biggie. She even referenced the teachings of Sogyal Rinpoche, a late Tibetan Buddhist teacher and best-selling author, who Cher says she learned from. “Rinpoche told me, ‘Some people meet, others recognize,’” she wrote.

Cher also made it clear that the man she was pictured with is absolutely her new guy. She shared a picture of the music executive, captioning it “Alexander ❤️.”
When someone asked if the two were dating, she responded with a “🥰” emoji.
I’m Not Defending us.Haters are Gonna Hate…Doesn’ Matter
That we’re Happy & Not
Bothering Anyone— Cher (@cher) November 6, 2022
In a follow-up post, the singer said that doesn’t feel the need to respond to all the “haters.”
“I’m Not Defending us,” she wrote. “Haters are Gonna Hate…Doesn’ Matter That we’re Happy & Not Bothering Anyone.”
Regardless of the negatively surrounding them, Cher seems incredibly happy with her new guy. The pair reportedly me during Paris Fashion Week and have been together ever since. She even revealed that in a response to a fan that he’s met her family and has been treating her like a “queen.”
Alexander was previously linked to Amber Rose, with whom he shares 3-year-old son Slash.
Amber Rose accused her ex of cheating on her, which he later admitted to in an Instagram Live. “At the end, I don’t think anybody can be happy or successful if you’re not truly yourself, whether other people understand it or blame you … ” he said at the time. “It’s just who I am, and it’s not how [Amber Rose] wants to be loved.”
Clearly, her new man’s past doesn’t bother Cher one bit.
“As we all know … I WASN’T BORN YESTERDAY,” Cher wrote to a fan. “What I know for sure, there are no guarantees. Anytime you make a choice, you take a chance. I’ve always taken chances … it’s who I am.”
Cher believes in life after love. But she also definitely believes in second chances.
