Cher has insisted ‘love doesn’t know math’ as she reflects on her relationship with Alexander Edwards.
The ‘Believe’ singer recently confirmed she is in a relationship with her 36-year-old boyfriend – who is 40 years younger than her – and although she admitted the age difference “seems strange on the paper,” she doesn’t think that’s a problem.
She tweeted: ‘On paper this seems strange (even to me) AE says love doesn’t know math’
She added: “We are adults”.
A fan replied to him offering a message of support and urging him to ignore all naysayers, noting that “a person’s happiness does not depend on what other people think or say.”
The 76-year-old singer replied, “BABE,SOME MARCH 2 A DIFFERENT DRUMMER,I Dance 2 One (I only listen to my voice, not other people’s)”
Meanwhile, another fan asked what her lover’s best qualities were, and the ‘If I Could Turn Back Time’ star had a cheeky answer ready.
She wrote, “He’s sweet, smart, hilarious…and we kiss like teenagers.”
Earlier this month, Cher confirmed her romance with the music producer following making headlines by sharing a photo with Alexander – who has three-year-old son Slash with model Amber Rose – with a red heart emoji on Twitter last weekend, days following the pair were spotted holding hands at a party at Craig’s restaurant in West Hollywood on November 2.
In response to those pointing out their age difference, Cher replied, “I’m not defending us.
“Haters are going to hate… It doesn’t matter and nobody minds.”
When another user questioned Alexander’s “motives and intentions,” she replied, “Don’t you have anything else to do? Let me explain… I don’t care. what anyone thinks.”
Cher previously dated Tom Cruise, 60, with whom she had a 16-year age gap.
The music legend was married twice before to Sonny Bono from 1964 to 1975 and Gregg Allman from 1975 to 1979.
