Cher has been open about the four-decade age gap between her and Edwards.

Cher opened up on the "The Jennifer Hudson Show" last month about why she doesn't date men her age.

"The reason I go out with young men is because men my age or older — well, now they're all dead — but before they just never, they were always terrified to approach me and younger men were the only ones that (did)," she said.
