‘Love doesn’t know math!’

Cher has confirmed she is in a relationship with 36-year-old music producer Alexander Edwards.

The 76-year-old artist shared a picture of her new partner on Twitter, alongside a heart emoji.

The ‘Believe’ singer first hinted at her new relationship last week after tweeting: “One part of my life is SO AMAZING”.

In response to one follower, she confirmed he treated her “like a queen.”

Cher added that he had already been introduced to her family, saying that “love doesn’t know math!”

When a fan asked her to confirm the relationship, she responded with a series of emojis, stating that they had first met during Paris Fashion Week in October.

Meanwhile, another follower expressed their concern regarding Edwards’ “intentions” towards the star. “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!!!,” they wrote.

The pop superstar replied: “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”.

Then, in a tweet to her followers, she wrote: “I’m Not Defending us. Haters are Gonna Hate…Doesn’t Matter That we’re Happy & Not Bothering Anyone”.

Edwards is the vice president of A&R at legendary music company Def Jam, home to musicians including Rihanna, Pusha T, Nas, Public Enemy and Justin Bieber.

He has previously been in a relationship with model and activist Amber Rose, with whom he shares three-year-old son Slash Electric Alexander Edwards.

Earlier this month, he had been photographed holding hands with Cher at Hollywood restaurant Craig’s.

Cher has previously been married twice, to Sonny Bono and late singer Gregg Allman.

She has also had relationships with Tom Cruise, actor Val Kilmer, record label boss David Geffen, and Kiss frontman Gene Simmons.
