Cher 'allows' younger boyfriend Alexander A.E Edwards to have 'secret' fling?

Cher and her younger boyfriend Alexander A.E Edwards reportedly have a bizarre arrangement.

Insiders told Radar Online that the couple, who began dating in 2022, were recently spotted packed on the PDA at a hotel opening in New York City.

The source said, "Cher accepts that A.E. is more of a companion at this point."

"They're rarely if ever, intimate and it's been that way for some time," they added.

The outlet calls Cher "desperate" to keep Alexander around. "If he wants to have fun on the side, Cher's just about okay with that. She's a pragmatist and figures it's better to let him do his thing so long as he always comes back to her," the source noted.

Adding, "She flies him around in private jets, pays for his designer duds, puts him up in five-star hotels and helps him with business connections whenever she can."

"In return, he's by her side when she needs a date, travels with her out of town and doesn't embarrass her by being caught romantically with anyone else," the source explained.

As per the sources, Cher is aware that she "can't control" her boytoy, but she gets what she wants with this arrangement.

" And that's obviously a win-win for A.E., too," the source noted.
