Cher’s family is said to be at a loss over what to do about her relationship with Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards, with insiders claiming that their repeated warnings have fallen on deaf ears.
The Believe singer, 78, has been dating the music executive, 38, for the the past two years, but her loved ones have grown increasingly concerned about the romance.
A source close to Cher’s son Chaz Bono, 55, has claimed that the award-winning artist is blind to AE’s ‘true intentions’ despite him displaying ‘one red flag after another.’
They added that fears were exacerbated after Cher revealed back in May that she is collaborating with AE on an album.
‘Cher’s family has given up on trying to convince her that Alexander does not have her best interests in mind,’ an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘She claimed that he was not after her money but now he is literally getting paid an enormous amount of money for this new album and she is giving him creative control of it.’

The source added that further panic about the relationship arose when Cher revealed she was allegedly taking steps to amend her will to include AE.
They continued: ‘She has not yet done this but is strongly considering it because she claims he is the love of her life.
‘And, if her album is the last album she does it will undoubtedly be a massive success.
‘When she passes, this gives AE all of the profits for it and he is set for life. Huge red flag.’
Cher, who released a greatest hits compilation, Forever, earlier this year, opened up about a new album during an appearance on The Tonight Show to promote her recently-released memoir, Cher, The Memoir: Part One.
Host Jimmy Fallon asked: ‘Could there be another album? Would you do another one?’
Cher confirmed: ‘I’m about to.’
In June, Cher appeared to condone AE’s brawl with Travis Scott after they got into a physical altercation after the 2024 amfAR Cannes Gala.

‘I’m proud of Alexander,’ she wrote on Instagram following the incident. ‘He didn’t start the fight against two men… He finished it, Gotta love him.’
According to the source, Cher’s stance on the situation also sparked concern for her family.
‘Her family was extremely concerned after she defended him getting into this brawl with Travis Scott because she condoned his violence,’ they said.
A representative for Cher denied that such concerns about her relationship exist.
Cher confirmed she was dating AE in November 2022 when she tweeted an Instagram post of the unlikely duo who were photographed holding hands at two Los Angeles hotspots.
The legendary singer shared the news on Twitter in a post that simply said ‘Alexander’ next to a heart emoji.
When a fan asked if AE was her new man, she doubled down with two heart emojis, as well as the words ‘love doesn’t know math.’
The following month Cher talked about her hot new romance on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Cher’s son Chaz is reportedly concerned that AE is out to get the singer’s money
‘On paper, it’s kind of ridiculous,’ she said. ‘But in real life, we get along great. He’s fabulous. And I don’t give men qualities that they don’t deserve.’
On New Year’s Day, she flaunted a diamond sparkler on her social from AE, which some believed to be an engagement ring.
Although Cher and AE seem to be going strong, things did not work out so well in his prior relationship with Amber Rose, who is the mother to his four-year-old son, Slash Electric.
After three years of dating, Amber ended their relationship in a scathing social media post that exposed his alleged infidelity.
The influential model wrote: ‘I’m tired of getting cheated on and being embarrassed behind the scenes.’
Cher has also suffered her share of heartbreak, which started with Chaz’s father, Sonny Bono, who she met when she was only 16 and he was 27.
They married in 1964 and formed the band Sonny & Cher, which catapulted them both to superstardom.
Ten years later, she filed for divorce.

In an interview with Parade Magazine, Cher said that it was his infidelity that led to their demise.
She said: ‘Stardom made Sonny a huge womanizer. One woman, or even five, was not enough for him.
‘I was trusting and faithful with him. The truth is, I’m not so sure we should’ve ever been husband and wife.’
Following her divorce from Sonny, who died in January 1998 when he hit a tree while skiing with family in South Dakota, Cher romanced some of Hollywood’s biggest heartthrobs.
Cher dated David Geffen from 1974 until 1975. He later came out as gay.
That same year, she dated The Allman Brothers Band’s Gregg Allman, with whom she shares son Elijah Blue Allman, 46.
The two were married for three years until their divorce in 1978.
Cher then dated rocker Kiss rocker Gene Simmons for two years, followed by actor Val Kilmer – who was 14 years her junior – from 1982 until 1984.

The Strong Enough singer admitted that Kilmer was the only man that has ever left her.
During an interview with Howard Stern, who asked her how anyone could leave her, she said: ‘Few men, few men. Look, I was madly in love with Val Kilmer and he left.’
In 1985, Cher dated Tom Cruise, who was 16 years her junior at the time.
Over the next several decades, the singer had a string of relationships with less famous men, including bagel shop worker Rob Camilletti, former Hells Angel Tim Medvetz, and television writer Ron Zimmerman, which ended in 2012.
After Cher’s split with Ron, she remained single for a decade until falling for AE.
