Cher has always been known for her larger-than-life presence, but her latest revelation shows a softer, more personal side. The Grammy-winning icon recently shared that her three-year romance with Alexander “A.E.” Edwards was no coincidence — she believes she manifested it.

A Prayer Answered

During an appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast, Cher, 79, revealed that before meeting Edwards, she prayed for both a man and a child to enter her life. “I walked around my house saying, ‘I want a man and a toddler,’” she confessed. “I wasn’t expecting them together, but that’s what I wanted. I was expecting them separately.” Her wish came true when she met Edwards, a 39-year-old music executive, and his son Slash, whom he shares with ex Amber Rose.

A.E. and Slash Bring Joy

Cher described Edwards as a “wonderful” and supportive partner who celebrates her success rather than competing with it. “The more I shine,” she said, “the more he has for him.” She also gushed about Slash, now six years old, calling him “funny” and “really precocious.” The bond between Cher and Edwards’ son has added a new dimension to her life, fulfilling the family dynamic she had hoped for.

A Relationship Built on Support

Cher emphasized that Edwards encourages her to embrace her achievements. Their relationship, she explained, is rooted in mutual respect and joy. For the legendary performer, finding a partner who uplifts her has been a gift she doesn’t take lightly.

Manifestation and Love

Cher’s story highlights her belief in manifestation — the idea that focusing on what you want can bring it into your life. While she may not have expected her prayer to be answered in such a direct way, she sees her relationship with Edwards and his son as proof that the universe listened.

Looking Ahead

As Cher continues her career and personal journey, she remains grateful for the love and family she has found. Her openness about manifestation and her relationship offers fans a glimpse into the private happiness of one of music’s most enduring stars.
