‘Love doesn’t know math!’ Cher declared after confirming her romance with Alexander Edwards, a music producer who is 40 years her junior.
The 76-year-old musical icon was first speculated to be romantically involved with the 36-year-old after the pair were spotted on a dinner date in West Hollywood.
Joined by Tyga, Cher and Alexander held hands in matching ensembles as the ex-partner of Amber Rose led the singer into Craig’s restaurant.
Confirming the rumours were true, the hitmaker posted a snap of her new lover to Twitter, captioning the producer’s headshot with: ‘Alexander’ and a heart emoji.
This celebrity relationship hasn’t been the only one to hit headlines for a somewhat surprising age-gap…

Speaking to E! News he said he has understood how to ‘find all the things that we have in common and not worry about the little things.’

As for the 16-year-age difference? Heidi told InStyle: ‘I don’t really think about it that much.
‘You have to just live a happy life without worrying too much about what people think because worrying is only going to give you more wrinkles.’

Not allowing their 32-year age gap get in the way of love, the pair of actresses have been together for over seven years.
The American Horror Story star reportedly met Holland more than a decade ago when she was still romantically involved with Cherry Jones.
Admitting she always had a connection with older people, Sarah continually batted off any negative comments about her relationship with the older Two and a Half men star.
However, according to Entertainment Tonight, the big difference in years shocked Holland: ‘There’s a very big age difference between us which I’m sure shocks a lot of people, and it startles me.’
The couple most recently walked the Emmy red carpet together after Sarah was nominated for her eighth award.
