Key Points Cher, 79, appeared with boyfriend Alexander Edwards at the Swarovski Masters of Light exhibition. The couple, known for coordinated style, attracted attention and looked affectionate at the event. “If you have happiness...live in the moment," Cher said about their relationship. Cher doesn’t need to turn back time because she still looks as great as ever as she nears 80 years old. The music legend turned heads once again when she made a rare public appearance with her longtime boyfriend, music executive Alexander “AE” Edwards, in New York City on Tuesday night. Cher, 79, and her 39-year-old partner attended Swarovski’s Masters of Light exhibition, celebrating the brand’s 130th anniversary. The event was held at Skylight at Essex Crossing and while it drew a crowd of A-listers and fashion insiders, all eyes were on the couple as they posed hand in hand.

She wore a textured black fur coat over a sheer top that she paired with wide-leg trousers and platform heels. Her signature long dark hair cascaded in soft waves that framed her face, while a bold berry lip added a touch of old Hollywood drama. Edwards chose a sleek satin black suit with a matching shirt and subtle jewelry, and his blonde curls contrasted sharply with her dark ensemble. This isn’t the first time the couple has made headlines for their coordinated style. Since first being linked in 2022, Cher and Edwards have become red-carpet fixtures, and they frequently wear sharp tailored looks combined with rock-inspired glamour. The two appeared relaxed and affectionate at the event as both smiled when posing for photos before joining the other guests to tour the shimmering Swarovski installation. The “Believe” singer is well-aware that the 40-year age gap between herself and Edwards has raised some eyebrows, but she doesn’t let it bother her. “We have a great time together,” Cher told Harper’s Bazaar in October 2023. “We can talk music. We can talk about everything. He’s got a great sense of humour, he’s got the cutest son in the world, ever … We just get each other.” She did admit that sometimes the decades between them can get a little awkward when she references certain pop culture moments that happened before he was born. However, that doesn’t change the couple’s feelings for one another. RELATED: Legendary Pop Music Icon, 79, Stuns With ‘Simply Incredible’ Surprise Performance at Secret Show in Rome
