Cher, 77, cuddled up front row at the Balmain Show on Wednesday with her boyfriend, Alexander “AE” Edwards, 38, during Paris Fashion Week! In photos you can see here, the “Believe” singer twinned in black tops and jeans with Alexander while posing from the front row at the Fall/Winter 2024-2025 Balmain show on February 28. The couple looked thrilled to be together, with the hitmaker wearing her iconic long hair in sleek waves, and AE rocking heavy statement jewelry, including a crucifix ring. They also posed side by side in their matching black tuxedo-style jackets ahead of the big womenswear show, looking relaxed and happy during the rare public outing.
Cher and her boyfriend have been dating since November of 2022, after they met at — where else? Paris Fashion Week that October. The romance escalated quickly, with the music producer gifting the iconic singer with a massive pear-shaped diamond ring that December. Not an engagement ring, it turned out, but a stunningly romantic gesture, nonetheless. “There are no words,” she captioned a pic of the bauble via Twitter (X) on December 25, 2022.
“AE and Cher are not engaged but he wanted to show Cher how much he cares about her and thought the ring was absolutely beautiful,” an insider told HollywoodLife exclusively at the time. “He thinks she deserves the world and wanted to give her a token from his heart.”

Though breakup rumors emerged in spring of 2023, the couple has endured. In October of 2023, Cher opened up about why she’s attracted to the producer. “Alexander’s got diamond teeth, tattoos, white hair, and he’s way younger,” she told PEOPLE when asked about their headline-generating romance. “He’s a beautiful man.”
Aside from the physical attraction, she added, there’s genuine chemistry. “No matter what happens, I love being with him,” she divulged. “He makes me laugh, and we have fun. What I learned is that it’s never too late. If you wrote out all the statistics, you would go, ‘Well, this is doomed.’ But we’ve been together a year, and if it was just a year, it would’ve been worth it. I’ve had the best time.”
