Cher Says Younger Boyfriend Alexander ‘A.E.’ Edwards Doesn’t Get ‘Most of My References’

The couple share a 40-year age gap

Cher has a lot of “Love and Understanding” for her beau Alexander "A.E." Edwards — even when he’s not quite sure what she’s talking about.

In a new interview with Extra, the 77-year-old icon opened up about what it’s like dating someone 40 years younger.

“I hate to talk about how happy I am, but no, we have a great time together,” she said in Monday’s exclusive.

“We can talk music. We can talk about everything. He’s got a great sense of humor, he’s got the cutest son in the world, ever… We just get each other,” Cher continued.

The “Believe” songstress and Edwards first sparked relationship rumors when they were photographed holding hands in November 2022.

His role as a music executive at Universal Music Group may help with their common connection, but when it comes to other topics, Cher admits he can be left stumped.

“Sometimes I’m talking to him and he has no idea who I’m talking about… The other day, I said, ‘Do you know who, I don’t know, Clark Gable, [is]?’ Somebody said, ‘Yes, of course,’ but most of my references… He’ll look at me and go, ‘I wasn’t born yet,’ ” she told the outlet.

Cher spoke with Extra while promoting her latest album, Christmas. Edwards also worked on the project.

“This must be the right time because I was asked forever and starting from Sonny and Cher days,” the Golden Globe winner said, noting how she previously felt she’d never do a holiday album.

“It’s a very strange Christmas album. All the tracks are their own little islands. Nothing seems to go together, but when you hear it, it works,” she added.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE earlier this month, Cher dished on how the couple was able to work well together on Christmas.

"He's a great producer," she said of Edwards. "I let him do 'Drop Top Sleigh.' That's a hard thing to do when you are in love with someone and then you say, 'OK, here, take this record and do what you want with it.' But I had faith. And I was so thrilled."

Cher also explained to PEOPLE how so far, the theory that opposites attract has proven correct for her.

“Alexander’s got diamond teeth, tattoos, white hair, and he’s way younger. He’s a beautiful man,” she said.
