Possible confirmation about the twosome's separation is that the "You Better Sit Down Kids" singer, who is one to flaunt her beau, hasn't done that in a while.

One of her followers questioned the 76-year-old Tv personality about her man's features. The fan asked, "What is the best quality you admire most, A E ?" In response, Cher spilled some romantic things about their relationship. She said, "He's Kind, Smart, Hilarious…& We [Kiss emoji] Like Teenagers."

Before the shocking news of Cher and Edwards's separation, it appeared the two were planning a future together and even involved their kids. In March, the record producer gushed about introducing Cher to his toddler, Slash, whom he shares with his ex, Amber Rose. 

The businessman recounted the beautiful experience when his toddler met with his girlfriend, saying, "You know right now I'm just focused on Slash, my son, and his brother Sebastian," referencing Rose's son, whom she shares with rapper Wiz Khalifa. 

Similarly, Edwards also spent bonding time with Cher's kids, Chaz Bono and Elijah Blue Allman. The 36-year-old spoke about his friendship with his girlfriend's sons and even called them "my guys." 

While the two were still romantically linked, they revealed their plans to make music together. Cher noted she was "pretty excited" about the projects with her boyfriend. "He's a producer and a writer, and he does everything, so I'm happy about that," she excitedly declared in an interview.

During their relationship, the lovebirds received several criticisms from the public, specifically for the age gap. Regardless, the singer wasn't fazed by the critics. A source previously talked about Cher's commitment to the relationship. 

The source said, "Cher knows full well that there's a lot of skepticism about this romance, but she couldn't care less." The insider further shared that the 76-year-old had "something extraordinary going on" with Edwards.
