Cher, 77, straddles boyfriend Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards, 38, amid conservatorship battle with her son

The iconic singer, Cher, certainly holds love in high esteem. At 77, the pop sensation shared an intimate photo on X featuring her and her younger partner, Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards, aged 38. In the snapshot, Cher is seen in Edwards' embrace, seemingly in tears, tenderly holding his face while wrapping her other arm around his back. Edwards, with a broad smile on his face, is holding her waist. They were both casually dressed for the photo, Cher looking fabulous in a black top, printed monochrome trousers and matching fur-lined boots while Edwards sported baggy jeans and a varsity-style jacket. Captioning the picture, "Love is Love", she expressed her sentiment clearly. Cher and Edwards first caught media attention as a couple in November 2022 before rumors surfaced about their breakup in the spring. They surprised everyone with a reconciliation in the fall.

Cher took a day after a temporary conservatorship over her son, Elijah Blue Allman’s estate was rejected, to share this affectionate picture. She sought controlling rights over her 47-year-old son's finances on Dec. 27, citing concerns about his alleged drug addiction, which she claimed could make him incapable of managing his finances. She expressed her fears in the filing that her son's fortune would be spent on drugs putting his life at grave risk. Cher, in a recent filing, also claimed that her son was missing. However, Allman, in a counter filing, rejected his mother's plea. "A conservatorship of the estate is not necessary at this time, no reason exists for the appointment of a conservator, the proposed conservator is not entitled to priority, and proposed conservator is unfit to serve," he stated in his legal documents. Allman’s counter filing happened just three days after he sought to dismiss his divorce proceedings with estranged wife, Marieangela King.
