'Way Over Her Head’: Friends Urge Cher, 76, To Dump Boyfriend AE Edwards, 36
Dec. 20 2022, Published 2:00 p.m. ET
Cher has made it clear she has zero regrets or misgivings about her new relationship with rapper and music producer Alexander “AE” Edwards — who’s a full 40 years her junior — but RadarOnline.com has learned that her inner circle has made their concerns about her boy toy known.
“Cher has a lot of people worried for her right now,” said a source. “She’s saying it’s her business who she dates and she’ll make her own decisions, but the warning signs are there for everyone to see.”
The source said insiders cringed when the Oscar winner gushed about her new love on The Kelly Clarkson Show Dec 2, declaring him “fabulous,” she said “He’s very kind, very smart, he’s very talented and he’s really funny. And I think he’s quite handsome.”
The 76-year-old has also blasted critics of her decision to couple up with 36-year-old AE — with whom she’s been inseparable since meeting at Paris Fashion Weeks in September. When fans pointed to his admission that he cheated on ex-wife Amber Rose (mom to his son, Slash, 3) with multiple women, Cher clapped back, “I wasn’t born yesterday,” adding, “I’ve always taken chances … it’s who I am.”
But while she claims to be clear-eyed about the romance, insisting she’s not “blinded” by love, the source said her closest friends are wary of just how hard and fast she’s fallen.
“Cher’s in way over her head as far as the vast majority of her friends are concerned,” said the source. “They want her to see this for what it is, a fun winter fling. They don’t want her to get carried away.”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, last year, AE’s ex Rose ripped him to shreds on social media. She wrote on Instagram, “I’m tired of getting cheated on and being embarrassed behind the scenes. All 12 of y’all bums (the ones that I know of there’s probably more) can have him.”
“I can’t be the only one fighting for my family anymore. I’ve been so loyal and transparent but I haven’t gotten the same energy in return. I’ll never say the girls name because I’m not in the business of ruining lives but y’all know who y’all are,” she said.
