Cher's Candid Confessions: Aging, Love, and a Refusal to Slow Down
Cher, the iconic singer and legend, has some strong opinions about aging, and she's not afraid to share them. In a recent interview with Gayle King, Cher, at 79, revealed her honest thoughts on getting older, and it's a perspective that might surprise you.
"I'm still waiting for that grown-up feeling to hit me," Cher confessed. When asked about her feelings towards aging, she didn't hold back, stating, "I hate it." And she's not shy about the age gap between herself and Gayle King, who is 70, adding, "I'm a decade older, babe."
But here's where it gets controversial: Cher doesn't buy into the idea that wisdom comes with age. When Gayle suggested they were wiser and more experienced, Cher quickly shut that down, "Oh, I'm stupid. I'm not wiser." It's a bold statement that challenges the conventional wisdom about aging.
Despite her age, Cher shows no signs of slowing down. With six decades in the industry, she's still going strong. She's working on a new album, her first with original material since 2013, and has launched a gelato brand, Cherlato, proving that her spirit and creativity are far from aging.
And this is the part most people miss: Cher's relationship with music executive Alexander Edwards, 40 years her junior, is a testament to her youthful spirit. "Nobody truly understands our dynamic, but we have a blast," Cher said. Edwards sees her as ageless, with a spirit that's forever young.
Their relationship works, Cher explains, because they "laugh all the time." She admires his talent and beauty, calling him "one of the most talented people I've ever met." It's a beautiful partnership that defies conventional age barriers.
