Cher, 76, walked hand in hand with her dramatically younger boyfriend Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards, 36, as they stepped out in Los Angeles this Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair were headed to a pre-Grammy dinner at the swank Beverly Hills sushi haunt Matsuhisa, two days before the music awards will take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For her latest outing Cher, who won a Grammy for Believe in 2008, opted for understated elegance in silver slacks, a black top and a monochrome jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accentuating her striking features with makeup, she sported a luxurious platinum blonde hairdo and accessorized with a black handbag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matsuhisa is the brainchild of the world-famous sushi chef Nobu Matsuhisa, who is also the namesake of the Nobu restaurants favored by such stars as the Kardashians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the town:\u00a0Cher, 76, walked hand in hand with her dramatically younger boyfriend Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards, 36, as they stepped out in Los Angeles this Friday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cher and ‘AE’ exuded romantic bliss as they headed up the sidewalk together hand in hand during their Friday night on the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The duo were first introduced at Paris Fashion Week in September of last year and are thought to have started dating two months later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December Cher appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show\u00a0poked fun at the yawning 40-year age gap between her and her toyboy, a Def Jam music executive.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Well, on paper it’s kind of ridiculous,’ Cher admitted: ‘but in real life we get along great. He’s fabulous and I don’t give men qualities that they don’t deserve.’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She hailed Alexander as ‘very kind’ and added: ‘He’s very smart, he’s very talented and he’s really funny so – and I think he’s quite handsome.’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cher noted: ‘If I hadn’t met younger men in my life, I would have never had a date, because older men just didn’t like me all that much, do you know what I mean?’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The If I Could Turn Back Time singer had ‘a couple boyfriends’ who were ‘hovering around my age’ but she felt that ‘they just didn’t like me for some reason.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cher shot to fame in the 1960s alongside her mentor and first husband Sonny Bono, whom she met when he was 28 and she was just 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Off<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Off they go:\u00a0The pair were headed to a pre-Grammy dinner at the swank Beverly Hills sushi haunt Matsuhisa, two days before the music awards will take place<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the mid-1970s their romance crumbled into a rancorous divorce, which she filed for on grounds of ‘involuntary servitude.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Kelly’s show she said: ‘Younger men don’t care if you’re, you know, funny or outrageous and wanna do stupid things and, you know, and you have a strong personality, you know? I mean I’m not giving up my personality for anybody, okay?’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a storm of rumors that they were an item, Cher finally confirmed on Instagram last month that she is dating Alexander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When another fan on Twitter brought up the massive age gap, she retorted: ‘LOVE DOESNT KNOW MATH, IT SEES [hearts].’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cher has a longtime fondness for sensationally younger men, such as Rob Camilletti, whom she took up with in the 1980s when she was 40 and he 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob, who became known as the ‘Bagel Boy’ because he worked in a bagel shop, was Cher’s Oscar date when she won best actress for Moonstruck in 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexander currently holds a position as vice president of artists and repertoire at Def Jam Recordings, the home of such stars as Justin Bieber and 2 Chainz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He currently has a three-year-old son called Slash Electric with his ex Amber Rose, whose romantic history also includes Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Throwback:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

‘Bagel Boy’: Cher has a longtime fondness for sensationally younger men, such as Rob Camilletti, whom she took up with in the 1980s when she was 40 and he 22<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amber and Alexander began dating in 2018 only for their relationship to go down in flames over the summer of 2021 as she slammed him for his serial infidelity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘All 12 of y’all bums (the ones that I know of there’s probably more) can have him,’ she seethed on social media. ‘Y’all very much knew he was in a relationship with a baby and y’all decided to f**k him anyway. I saw all the texts and DM’s. Y’all were well aware but y’all don’t owe me any loyalty so it’s whatever.’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexander then publicly admitted on Instagram Live that he had cheated on Amber, describing unfaithfulness as his ‘true nature.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he started running around with Cher, her fans began warning her on Twitter about his history of infidelity to the point she issued a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘BABE, ENGLISH IS MY FIRST LANGUAGE, I\u2019M IN [HEART] NOT BLINDED BY IT,’ she wrote. ‘KNOW WHAT I KNOW\u2026SMOKE DOESN\u2019T ALWAYS MEAN [FIRE].’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another fan fretted in her replies about the possibility that she might get ‘taken advantage of,’ to which she replied: ‘As we All Know \u2026I WASNT BORN YESTERDAY,& What I Know For Sure\u2026There Are No Guarantees. Anytime you make a Choice You Take a Chance.I\u2019ve Always Taken Chances\u2026It\u2019s WHO I Am.’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n
