The speculation has sent tabloids into overdrive—can Cher truly make headlines once again with a bold romantic move? The couple, whose romance has been going strong for nearly three years, is certainly not shy about their feelings. They live together in Malibu, spend time in the fashion scene, and often share flashes of their relationship publicly.

Love with no boundaries: Cher and Alexander’s age-gap romance

Cher and Alexander’s relationship has attracted attention due to the striking 40-year age gap, yet neither seems fazed by what others think. After their first appearance together in Los Angeles in November 2022, the duo became a regular topic on social media and in gossip columns. Cher, ever the straight-talker, brushed off the critics with typical flair. When speaking to the press, she’s insisted she isn’t bothered by harsh opinions about their difference in years. “I don’t care what anyone thinks,” she told reporters when asked if their ages matter to her. Clearly, for this iconic star, love knows no bounds.

In fact, Cher enjoys spending time not just with Alexander but also with his son from a previous relationship, Slash, who is now six. Their blended family moments, along with their passion for fashion, keep their lives vibrant. The pair’s regular outings and Alexander’s move into Cher’s Malibu home only fuel public fascination. As Cher’s milestone birthday approaches in May, her inner circle reportedly believes she wants to mark the event with a new chapter—a wedding perhaps? “Cher is ready to make things official,” a source shared with The Mirror. Is there any stopping this queen when she decides she wants something?

Contradictory whispers: speculation versus official word

It wouldn’t be a celebrity love story without some confusion! While “insiders” insist that wedding plans are underway, the official party line says otherwise. A spokesperson for Cher has dismissed the stories, calling the Page Six report about an imminent marriage “false.” So, what’s the real story? Behind closed doors, some say Cher hopes to make her big 8-0 unforgettable by celebrating her commitment to Alexander.

“Cher would love her 80th birthday to also be a day about their future together,” notes a Mirror source.

But all signs point to the superstar keeping her cards close to her chest—for now.

Fact is, Cher has done the wedding thing before, twice. Her first husband, Sonny Bono, is the father of her child Chaz Bono, while her second marriage to Gregg Allman brought Elijah Blue. Former romances with Val Kilmer, Gene Simmons and even Tom Cruise have also added to her legendary status. Yet, for all the past glitz and glamour, it’s her happiness in the here and now with Alexander that’s making fans root for her.

Fans weigh in as Cher faces the spotlight once more

Can you believe the star of “Believe” is sweeping up headlines at nearly 80? The rumoured new chapter in Cher’s love life has not only reignited interest in her stylish escapades, but it’s also fuelled debates about age, romance and doing things your own way. For many fans, Cher’s attitude—unapologetic, free and bold—is as inspirational as ever. Whether the Malibu mansion will soon see a wedding or simply another fabulous soirée, only Cher herself knows what’s next. Either way, she’s living proof that age is no hurdle when you’ve got the heart of a rebel and the flair of a diva.
