Cher’s boyfriend Alexander "AE" Edwards is said to be "betting" on her success to pave the way for his five-year-old son, Slash.

Edwards, who is 40 years younger than the Believe hitmaker, is reportedly weaving his way into Cher's massive fortune while driving her further away from her own sons, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Knowledgable insiders believe the music executive could be "using" his son's youth to take advantage of Cher's maternal instincts.

They claimed: "Alexander knows Cher has powerful connections in show business and he also knows that she has a very protective side for those she loves.

"He’s betting that she’ll take Slash under her wing and make sure he comes out a winner later in life."

Sources also believe Edwards is utilizing the troubled relationship Cher has with Elijah, her 48-year-old son with Greg Allman, and Chaz, her 55-year-old child with Sonny Bono, for his own benefit.

They added: "Alexander probably figures the more he fans the flames of war between Cher and her own children, the more time she’ll set aside for Slash.

"He’s that type of guy when it comes to looking out for No. 1."

They explained: "Let’s face it — Cher is short two children at the moment and here comes this beautiful little boy into her life who reminds her so much of playing mother to her own two kids.

"It’s the perfect chance for Alexander to further sink his hooks into her and to make sure Slash has every advantage in life."
