Reports claim Cher plans wedding with AE Edwards in 2026
*If it’s true, we can’t say that we’re surprised. Here’s the deal. Rumors have recently surfaced that Cher may be preparing to marry her boyfriend, Alexander “AE” Edwards, around her 80th birthday in May 2026. Multiple outlets, including the Mirror, Daily Mail, and RadarOnline, reported that the pop icon sees the big milestone as the perfect time to say “I do.”
Despite the wedding buzz, Cher’s representatives were quick to shut it down. They told Page Six and other media that the reports are “not true.” Still, the story has reignited public fascination with their relationship and the couple’s 40-year age gap.
Inside the Cher wedding rumors: What sources are saying
According to various insiders, Cher allegedly feels her 80th birthday would be the right moment to make the relationship official. Reports say both she and Edwards are “ready to commit.” Some even claim the couple is skipping a prenup — raising eyebrows given Cher’s estimated net worth of up to $500 million.
Critics point to Edwards’ past, with concerns about his “roving eye” from previous relationships. But Cher, known for doing things her way, reportedly “doesn’t give a hoot” about the gossip. If true, it would be her first marriage in nearly 50 years.

Cher’s past marriages and AE’s music connection
This would not be Cher’s first walk down the aisle. She was married to Sonny Bono from 1964 to 1975 and Gregg Allman from 1975 to 1979. She shares one son, Chaz Bono, with Sonny. Edwards, 39, is a music executive who shares a son named Slash with ex-girlfriend Amber Rose.
He also worked on Cher’s 2023 holiday album titled “Christmas,” deepening their personal and professional connection. Their ongoing bond has only fueled curiosity about the next step in their relationship.
A quick look at Cher and Edwards’ relationship timeline
The two met during Paris Fashion Week in September 2022. One month later, Cher confirmed the romance on social media with a playful “YESSSSS” to a fan’s question. Since then, they’ve had public appearances, a brief breakup in 2023 and a wave of public attention.
In a November 2025 interview on CBS Mornings, Cher addressed the scrutiny. “Whatever, they’re not living my life… We just have a blast,” she said. Edwards has also been quoted telling Cher, “Your spirit is younger.”
The 2022 ring post that sparked engagement rumors
Engagement speculation is nothing new for this couple. In December 2022, Cher posted a photo on social media showing off a large pear-shaped diamond ring. She captioned it, “THERE R NO WORDS, ALEXANDER, A.E.”
Fans immediately guessed the couple was engaged, but Cher later shut down the rumors and said it was simply a gift. Still, it added to the public’s interest in their plans.
Social media reacts to wedding rumors and prenup drama
The wedding rumors spread quickly on X, formerly known as Twitter, with millions of views and strong reactions. Many users supported Cher, praising her for living life on her terms. One user wrote, “As old men marry younger women all the time… why not Cher?”
Others were more critical or concerned about the alleged lack of a prenup. A meme post joking about the couple’s age difference sparked thousands of replies, while another user commented, “Age gap love, ok… But NO prenup?”
Why Cher’s love life continues to captivate fans
Whether the rumors are true or not, Cher remains a star who defies expectations. Her personal life, like her music, pushes boundaries. From groundbreaking performances to unexpected romance, she lives boldly and unapologetically.
Her fans admire that confidence. Even at 79, Cher continues to reinvent herself and challenge what aging in the spotlight looks like. A wedding at 80 would only add to her legacy of surprise moves.
What’s next for Cher and AE Edwards?
So far, Cher has not publicly commented on the wedding rumors. Her representatives have denied the story, but the internet remains curious as her 80th birthday approaches in May 2026.
If wedding bells do ring, it could be one of the year’s biggest celebrity stories. Whether or not the couple makes it official, their relationship shows that love, like Cher’s career, has no rules.
