Summary
- Cher, 79, admits she "hates" getting older despite her decades-long career
- Cher's 39-year-old boyfriend says her "spirit is younger" despite the age gap
- Cher doesn't care what others think about her relationship: "They're not living my life"
On November 4, 2025, legendary singer Cher, 79, sat down for an interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings. During the conversation, Cher was asked how she felt about getting older, to which she immediately responded, "I hate it!"
Despite her successful career spanning over five decades, Cher confessed that she has never felt like a "grown up" and doesn't consider herself to be "wiser" with age. However, her 39-year-old boyfriend, Alexander Edwards, has a different perspective. Edwards told Cher, "You know, you get older, but your spirit is younger," which Cher says is the reason they get along so well.
Cher doesn't seem to care what others think about their significant age gap. "Whatever," she told King. "They're not living my life. Nobody knows what goes on between us, but we just have a blast."
As the interview concluded, King referenced one of Cher's famous quotes from 1991, when she said she wanted to be "doing the same things I'm doing today" at the age of 75. Cher acknowledged that she has indeed lived up to that goal, stating, "I don't know how to do anything else. What am I gonna do? I love what I do."
