American singer and actress Cher has sparked a wave of speculation about a secret marriage to her partner Alexander "AE" Edwards. During her son, Chaz Bono's wedding, the artist showcased a substantial diamond ring and a matching wedding band on her left hand. The wedding ceremony for Chaz Bono and Shara Blue Mathes took place at the historic Hollywood Roosevelt hotel in Los Angeles. The presence of new jewelry on the star's ring finger immediately became the main topic of media reports, suggesting a change in the marital status of the 79-year-old pop icon.
The couple has been dating since November 2022, and their relationship has attracted interest from the start due to the significant age gap. Alexander "AE" Edwards is 39, meaning he is four decades younger than his partner. Despite numerous comments about this disparity, Cher has repeatedly defended her relationship on social media and in interviews, emphasizing that love knows no numbers. Cher was previously married twice – her first husband was Sonny Bono (1964–1975), with whom she formed the famous duo, and her second was Gregg Allman (1975–1979). In recent decades, the artist has often been involved with younger men, which has become a consistent part of her public image. The first rumors of an engagement to Edwards appeared as early as December 2022, when the singer posted a photo of a diamond ring, but she explained at the time that it was merely a gift from her partner.
So far, the artist's representatives have not issued an official statement confirming the marriage. Media outlets note that while the jewelry looks bridal, it may simply be part of an outfit chosen for the family celebration in Los Angeles. Alexander Edwards himself has previously avoided clear declarations regarding matrimonial plans, and in May 2024 he directly cut off questions about "wedding bells," only assuring the strength of their affection.
