Cher and her toyboy are 'not talking marriage' despite him gifting her huge diamond ring

Superstar songstress Cher is reportedly not considering getting married to her new beau Alexander Edwards.

The hitmaker, 76, garnered headlines after becoming romantically involved with Edwards, who is 40 years her junior.

The pair were first spotted together in November 2022 and their romance is reported to have gone from strength to strength ever since, with Edwards gifting Cher a diamond ring recently.

"THERE R NO WORDS," the singer wrote alongside an image of the dazzling ring she shared on Twitter.

"They are very much in love," a source told PEOPLE, adding that the pair were inseparable during a party ahead of the Grammy Awards at the weekend.

"They held hands all night and were very lovey-dovey and kissing often," the source added. "They're not talking marriage or anything like that, but they are exclusive and serious."

The insider noted that Edwards "stayed by [Cher's] side" the entire night and that the pop star "was smiling the entire time".

The source said that the age gap is far from being an issue for the couple and is actually "exciting" to Cher.

Edwards, a 37-year-old music executive with Universal, was previously in a relationship with model and rapper Amber Rose, with whom he has a son.

He is also music producer and artist who has worked on rapper Tyga's independent label Last Kings Records.

Edwards and Cher reportedly met for the first time at Paris Fashion Week in September 2022.

In a previous tweet, now deleted, the singer declared: "LOVE DOESN'T KNOW MATH, IT SEES [love heart emojis]".

Cher has a history of dating men who are younger than her, including Val Kilmer , Tom Cruise and Rob Camilletti in the 1980s.

"The truth was if I hadn't gone out with younger men , I would have never had a date," Cher told PEOPLE in 2021. "Younger men weren't intimidated by older women. But older men in my age category, they weren't having it."

Cher has taken to social media in recent months to share about the grief of losing her 96-year-old mother, and has reportedly been comforted by her new relationship with Edwards.

It "has helped ease the pain of the loss," a music industry source told the publication.

Cher has sold over 100 million albums worldwide and has a net worth of approximately $360 million (£300 million).

She holds the world record for the 'Highest Grossing Tour by a Female Artist' of all time - her 325-date 'Living Proof: The Farewell Tour' concluded in 2004 and earned her more than $200 million (£165 million).
