Everyone knows Cher for her iconic hits like ‘I Got You, Babe’, ‘Love Can Build a Bridge’, ‘I Found Someone’, and ‘The Shoop Shoop Song’.
Her career started back when she was just sixteen years old.
Cher moved to Los Angeles where she met entertainer and songwriter Sonny Bono, who she married in 1964.
The couple began singing together and their first big pop hit came in 1965 with ‘I Got You Babe’, which reportedly sold more than 3 million copies.
The duo scored a number of hits, but by the late 1960s, their popularity began to fade.
The 1971 television show The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour ran until 1974, and Cher’s solo career flourished.
It was then when Cher and Sonny divorced in 1974, however they still appeared as co-hosts of another television show between 1976 and 1977.
Cher then managed to cultivate a successful nightclub act and revisited an earlier interest in acting, whereas Sonny retired from show business altogether.
She appeared in Broadway and Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean in 1982, and even received an Academy Award nomination for her supporting role in Silkwood in 1983.
But it was only in 1988 that she actually won an Academy Award for her starring role as an Italian American widow in the romantic comedy Moonstruck.
Her other movies included Mask, Tea with Mussolini the musical drama Burlesque, and Zookeeper.
She even appeared in 2018’s Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.
After 2 successful albums, Cher in 1987 and Heart of Stone in the following year…
Cher’s music career was shaken up, but she made a comeback with Believe in 1998 and Living Proof in 2002.
Her popularity grew and in 2000 she won a Grammy Award for the dance single ‘Believe’.
And her personal life was once again the talk of the town after an explosive interview with Jane Pauley.
In her 1996 interview, Cher revealed that a man is not essential in her life.
She added: “Like dessert. Man is absolutely not a necessity.”
When Jane pressed for clarification, Cher said: “I adore dessert, I love men. I think men are the coolest. But you don’t really need them to live.”
But now it seems Cher has finally found the love of her life…
The seventy-six-year-old artist recently shared a picture of her new partner…
But first hinted at her new relationship last week when she tweeted: “One part of my life is SO AMAZING.”
The news comes as the pair were photographed holding hands at Hollywood restaurant Craig’s earlier this week, according to The Independent.
Apparently, Cher’s new man is the vice president of A&R at the legendary music company Def Jam, which is home to artists like Rihanna, Pusha T, Nas, Public Enemy, and Justin Bieber.
Cher followed the post on Sunday with a picture of her new beau and a heart emoji.
Fans quickly shared their thoughts on the romance…
“We know you are fabulous and I’m sure your inner circle will continue to have your back. Want you to be happy, but not taken advantage of!!!” one wrote.
Cher replied and said: “As we All Know …I WASN’T BORN YESTERDAY, & What I Know For Sure…There Are No Guarantees. Anytime you make a Choice You Take a Chance. I’ve Always Taken Chances…It’s WHO I Am.”
And in response to those criticizing the couple’s forty-year age gap, Cher simply said an iconic “Haters are gonna hate.”
“I’m Not Defending us. Haters are Gonna Hate… Doesn’t Matter That we’re Happy & Not Bothering Anyone.”
So who is Cher’s new boyfriend?

And now, Cher can’t stop gushing over her boyfriend.
During a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Cher shared that she typically does not “give men” praise “they don’t deserve.”
She then described Edwards as “fabulous”, “very kind”, “very smart”, “very talented”, and “really funny.”
“And I think he’s quite handsome,” the singer added.
“On paper, it’s kind of ridiculous,” Cher admitted.
