On November 20, singer Cher went to the set of the Howard Stern Show, the opportunity for the “Believe” singer to talk about her former romantic conquests. It all started with an intimate question from the show's host, asking the 78-year-old singer if men still expected sex. “fabulous” with her.
“I was madly in love with Val Kilmer and he left me”
The artist, who is never shy when it comes to speaking frankly, then responds with aplomb: “Yes and they get it”. A fact she is sure of thanks to their “reactions”. Are these sexual relations then “fabulous” who made Cher a difficult woman to leave? In any case, she confides that she has rarely been left, with the exception of a very great actor with whom she was particularly in love: Val Kilmer.
“I was madly in love with Val Kilmer and he left me”, reveals the artist. A revelation difficult to take for the presenter who does not see why anyone would leave someone with whom he “sex is fabulous”. “Sometimes you're only meant to stay with someone for a certain period of time,” Cher explains to Howard Stern's incomprehension, “And Val, he was really young.”
A 40-year difference between Cher and her current partner
Val Kilmer and Cher met in the 80s and enjoyed a beautiful two-year romance despite their age difference, the actor being 14 years the singer's junior. Moreover, as she revealed to People Magazine in 2021, this big age difference caused a lot of discussion at the time and was much less accepted than today.
“The truth is, if I didn't date younger men, I never would have gone on dates.”Cher then assured. “Younger men are not intimidated by older women.”
A habit that the septuagenarian seems to keep since she is currently in a relationship with rap producer Alexander Edwards, known as “AE” who is 40 years younger than her. “On paper, it’s pretty ridiculous. But in life, we get along really well. He's fabulous. And I don't give men qualities they don't deserve.” she declared on the set of the Kelly Clarkson Show in December 2022.
