Age differences in romantic relationships still cause a wave of indignation among people today. Especially when it comes to not just stars, but famous women. For example, many Internet users are concerned about a rather simple question: why does Cher date younger men? Curiously, there is an answer. Moreover, the singer herself gave it.
Why does Cher date younger men
Cher’s personal life cannot help but attract the attention of both the media and ordinary Internet users. After all, the American singer has never been distinguished by constancy in romantic relationships. Nevertheless, the celebrity was married twice to Sonny Bono and Greg Allman. In these unions, the actress gave birth to a daughter, Chastity, and a son, Elijah. The businesswoman did not dare to go down the aisle again.
However, this did not prevent her from having all sorts of romances. Thus, at one time, Cher dated Val Kilmer, Eric Clapton, Richie Sambora, and Mark Hudson. Moreover, the singer even had a relationship with 23-year-old Tom Cruise for several months. The actress herself was already 40 years old at that time.
In 2022, the public was stunned by the artist’s new chosen one. He was music producer and rapper Alexander Edwards. The age difference between the celebrities is 40 years, which, according to the public, is completely unacceptable. But the lovers themselves decided not to pay attention to the criticism and hate addressed to them. Moreover, already on Christmas that same year, Edwards gave Cher a diamond ring. Alas, they broke up in the spring, only to get back together in the fall.
“I’m very shy”
Be that as it may, today celebrities are not embarrassed to appear together in public and at all kinds of events. Although, it is worth noting that this does not reduce the number of negative comments about their age difference. The fact that “love knows no mathematics” does not calm the ill-wishers. The singer once gave these wise words during an interview.
And recently a full answer to the question of why Cher dates younger men appeared. The actress herself gave it during her visit to The Jennifer Hudson Show. So, according to the celebrity, if she were choosing people her own age, there would be critically few options.
“I am very shy when I am not working. And I am also a little shy around men. The reason why I date young people is that men my age or older are already in a better world. But before, they were simply always afraid to approach me. Only young guys were not afraid to make the first move. They are brave. All because they were raised by women like me! “– Cher admitted.
