There can be downsides to age gap relationships – just ask Cher. The singer is apparently struggling to keep up with her younger partner, with insiders concerned she is wearing herself out. The 79-year-old icon has been dating 39-year-old Alexander “AE” Edwards since 2022.
Cher is allegedly “often complaining about dizziness and exhaustion”
Cher may be considering marrying toyboy Alexander, but the 40-year age difference is becoming a bit too much, according to insiders. Sources say the singer’s loved ones fear she may be heading for a collapse.
A source told Radar Online: “Ever since Alex came onto the scene, Cher’s felt compelled to push herself into this fast-paced, jet-setting party scene, but it’s asking way too much of her to keep up with him and other kids who are well over half her age.”
The insider added: “She’s getting by on fumes and it shows, not just with her garbled sentences and slurred speech but also the fact she’s out of breath and often complaining about dizziness and exhaustion. Don’t forget she’s had major health issues in years gone by. That fragility is something still there and she’s only compounding her troubles by stretching herself way too thin.”
Cher sparked concerns recently when she appeared confused at the Grammys. She walked offstage after receiving her Lifetime Achievement Award, seemingly forgetting she was supposed to present the next award. The singer then announced the winner of Record of the Year as Luther Vandross instead of Kendrick Lamar and SZA. She later claimed the mishap was due to an issue with the teleprompter.
Whatever the truth about the mixup, insiders fear the diva is unlikely to slow down anytime soon. The insider said: “Cher boasts she’s proud to be young at heart and refuses to live the life of an old lady. But she’s turning 80 in May, and the fear is if she doesn’t listen to her body, she might not make it.”
TELL US – SHOULD CHER SLOW DOWN?
