If you’ve ever wondered why Cher often dates younger men, she recently shared her straightforward reason on The Jennifer Hudson Show. The 77-year-old icon explained that she’s shy around men, especially those she’s not working with. She revealed she once turned down Elvis, adding, “The reason I go out with young men is because men my age are older — well, now they’re all dead — but before, they were always terrified to approach me. And younger men were the only ones that…”
Jennifer Hudson interjected, saying, “They’re bold.” Cher agreed, responding, “Yeah, raised by women like me.”
Cher’s preference for younger men came under the spotlight after her relationship with Alexander “AE” Edwards, who is 40 years her junior, garnered significant attention from fans and the media. When questioned about Edwards’ intentions, Cher took to X to clarify, “Let Me Explain…I DONT GIVE A [flying] FK WHAT ANYONE THINKS.”
In 2024, the sentiment is clear: we shouldn’t have to justify our dating choices. As long as it’s not harming anyone, people should be free to love who they want.
