Cher, the ageless pop wonder at 77, has recently shared the very practical reason behind her preference for dating younger men. In a candid conversation with Jennifer Hudson on the singer’s daytime talk show, Cher revealed that her shyness around men, especially those her age or older, led her to opt for younger companions. She humorously pointed out that men her age are no longer an option as they are ‘all dead,’ highlighting the boldness and fearlessness younger men exhibit in approaching her.

Cher’s revelation comes amidst her rumored relationship with 38-year-old music executive Alexander ‘A.E.’ Edwards, which she made ‘Insta official’ with a hand-holding picture in November 2022. Despite facing criticism due to their significant age gap, Cher has been unapologetic about her choices, emphasizing that ‘love doesn’t know math’ and asserting that ‘Love is Love.’

During the interview, Cher also shared an interesting anecdote about turning down a date with Elvis Presley in the past, citing her nervousness about his reputation and the people surrounding him as the reason for declining the opportunity.

Cher credited her youthful appearance and vitality to her mother’s good genes, jokingly mentioning how she ‘stole’ her mom’s voice to become the iconic figure she is today. She expressed admiration for the late rapper Tupac Shakur, revealing how his profound lyrics had a lasting impact on her after being introduced to his music by Edwards.

The conversation with Hudson delved into Cher’s favorite songs, with ‘Believe’ making the list, and explored potential alternate career paths. Cher reflected on her early days as a model for publications like Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, despite her late husband Sonny Bono’s jealousy towards her success in the industry.

Cher’s openness about her personal life and experiences continues to captivate audiences, showcasing her enduring charm and wit that have defined her legendary career.
