The image of a large pear-cut diamond has sent Cher fans into a frenzy with many speculating the 76-year-old music icon has gotten engaged to her boyfriend, Alexander “AE” Edwards, 36.
Sharing a photo of the generously proportion stone in a box held by Edwards to Twitter, Cher captioned the image: ““THERE R NO WORDS, ALEXANDER, A.E.”
According to The Sun, sources told Radar Online recently that Cher has plans to wed the 36-year-old music executive who she met at Paris fashion week a few months ago.
The source said: “Cher is head over heels in love.
“She knows she doesn’t have much time left anymore to find ‘the one’ and after two failed marriages and countless disastrous boyfriends, this could be her LAST chance and she isn’t going to let it pass her by.
“Of course, her friends are worried. Whenever there is a 40-year and $400 million gap between two people, you have concerns!”
