Cher Spotted at Her Son's Wedding with a Massive Ring – Sparking Marriage Rumors

Cher and her current partner went public with their romance in late 2022 and have repeatedly defended their 40-year age gap.

Cher left fans wondering if wedding bells might be in her future when she recently appeared wearing a massive ring. The singer has been dating Alexander "AE" Edwards, and now netizens are speculating whether the couple may have taken their relationship to the next level.

A Surprise Ring at Her Son's Wedding Ignites Speculation

Cher turned heads at her son Chaz Bono's wedding, drawing attention to a huge ring she wore on her finger. She paired the sparkling piece with a band while attending the ceremony at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Monday, March 9. Despite the buzz, neither Cher nor Alexander has confirmed an engagement or wedding.

Rumors Swirl About a Possible Wedding Before 80

In December 2025, rumors had also surfaced that nearly 50 years after the end of her second marriage, the singer was reportedly planning to marry Alexander ahead of her 80th birthday in May 2026.

An insider claimed, "Cher doesn’t give a hoot about their [40-year] age difference, and they're both ready to commit to each other. She sees her upcoming celebration at turning 80 as the perfect time for her and Alexander to seal the deal." However, after these reports circulated, Cher's representative denied their accuracy.

The Christmas Ring That Fooled Fans

In 2022, fans were once again convinced that Cher's wedding was imminent when she shared a photo on Christmas Day of a dazzling diamond ring that Alexander had gifted her. Many assumed it was an engagement ring.

Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, described the gem as "truly extraordinary" and estimated its value at around a quarter of a million dollars. He noted that the massive pear-shaped center stone appears to exceed six carats, similar in size to diamonds worn by music icons like Cardi B, Gwen Stefani, and Ariana Grande.

Mike added, "Pear-shaped diamonds of this carat weight are incredibly rare, especially high-quality ones. The band looks to be custom too, with a tapered design flanking the diamond. This ring took careful planning, design, and craftsmanship. It's as captivating as it is timeless."

Meanwhile, diamond expert Zack Stone of UK jeweler Steven Stone assessed the center stone as slightly smaller, closer to four carats. He explained that pear-shaped diamonds not only provide a flattering, elongated look to the wearer's finger but also convey confidence.

He added that this style was especially fitting for Cher, who has continually pushed boundaries across her six-decade-long career. Despite the speculation, Cher clarified just an hour later that the ring was not an engagement ring; she had posted it to draw attention to Alexander's striking green manicure.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, Cher emphasized that the ring was the best Christmas gift she had ever received. When asked if it held any special meaning, she simply replied no.

Age Gap Debate Follows the Couple Everywhere

Aside from marriage and engagement rumors, the age gap between Cher and Alexander has frequently stirred conversations online. One fan commented, "The age difference is scary." Another person didn't hold back, adding, "Sickening sorry, it's like sleeping with her own son😮."

Some fans took a more accepting stance. One shrugged off the controversy, penning, "And? What is the problem… they are adults." Another reflected on double standards in relationships, "I can't say I agree with it, but I wouldn't call it 'embarrassing' or 'disgusting'... Young women go for old men all the time without judgement [sic], so why is this different?"

Support for the couple was clear as well. "I'm sure they don't need approval from anyone, it's there [sic] life 🙄let them live it…! 🤷🏻‍♀️," wrote one defender, while another person simply said, "I'm happy she is happy."

Curiosity about Cher's appearance also came through, as one netizen speculated, "Wonder what she would look like w/out all that plastic surgery & makeup. I wonder if he would still love her?"

Despite these comments, Cher has been clear that she is not seeking anyone's approval for her choice of partner. She noted that those commenting on their relationship are not living her life and know nothing about what happens between them.

Cher added that they are having a blast together and that age has never been an issue. She also shared that Alexander often tells her her spirit is young despite her age. "I just love him. I think he is beautiful," she added.

From Paris Fashion Week to a Public Romance

Cher and Alexander were first linked romantically in November 2022, after being spotted together on an outing in Los Angeles. Earlier that same month, rumors circulated that Cher was seeing rapper Tyga, Kylie Jenner's ex.

The speculation followed Tyga's visit to Cher's sprawling beachfront Malibu estate, where they reportedly spent the afternoon together. Neither Cher nor Tyga confirmed whether the meeting was for business or pleasure, but with Cher now publicly with Alexander, it seems they may have simply been friends.

Love, Music, and Blended Family Life

Over the course of their relationship, Cher has opened up about her bond with Alexander and the life they share. The pair first met at Paris Fashion Week in September 2022, and their connection has extended beyond romance into professional collaboration.

Alexander contributed to Cher's first-ever holiday album, "Christmas," released in October 2023. Reflecting on their working dynamic, Cher said she was thrilled that Alexander is a producer and writer. Alexander also serves as a music executive at Universal Music Group, one of the three major record labels alongside Sony Music and Warner Music Group.

Alexander is a father to a six-year-old son, whom Cher cherishes. He shares the child with his ex, Amber Rose, from whom he parted ways in 2021.

Cher revealed that before meeting the rapper, she would walk around the house saying she wanted a man and a toddler — though she hadn't expected them to come as a package, that's exactly what she got.

She now describes Alexander Edwards as a wonderful person and feels fortunate to have him and his son in her life. She also praised Alexander for being the kind of man who loves for her to shine, not dimming her glow.

In December 2022, Cher experienced a personal loss when her mother passed away at the age of 96. A source in the music industry later noted that her relationship with Alexander helped her cope with the grief.

New Projects and the Next Chapter Ahead

Through the years, Cher and Alexander have navigated many highs and lows together. Now, the superstar is preparing to share the story of her life and career on camera for the very first time.

She is reportedly in advanced talks with Netflix for a tell-all series titled "Sharing Her Story," which will comprise seven hour-long episodes. The series is expected to premiere in 2026, coinciding with the release of the second part of her delayed memoir.

The couple also appears to have more milestones ahead, and fans may eventually learn whether Cher and Alexander have taken the next step toward engagement or marriage.
