Cher is fueling major engagement rumors as she posts what looks like an engagement ring to social media. The legendary singer, 76, is now front-page news for sharing a massive ring on Twitter, one seeing fans wonder if she is engaged to 36-year-old Alexander "A.E." Edwards. The music face got Christmas 2022 off to a gossip-charged start, kicking off yesterday morning with a ring photo saying that there are "no words." Alexander Edwards is 40 years younger than Cher, although it looks like this relationship is proving that age is but a number.

The photo showed a close-up of a box open and containing a jaw-dropping and huge diamond ring. The glittering piece of jewelry seemed to be bringing Cher both pleasure and shock.

In a short caption, the Believe hitmaker wrote, "THERE R NO WORDS, ALEXANDER A.E." The ring sat in a black velvet box and appeared very expensive, indeed. Music executive Edwards was only confirmed as dating Cher last month. He once came linked to model Amber Rose, 35, also known for dating rapper Kanye West.

'Head Over Heels'

Sources close to Cher are suggesting that she's madly in love with A.E.

"Cher is head over heels in love," an insider recently dished to Radar Online. "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." Noting the singer's wealth, they added,

"Of course, her friends are worried. Whenever there is a 40-year-old and $400 million gap between two people, you have concerns!"

Cher, meanwhile, is known for preferring younger men and has said that if she hadn't met "younger" men, she might never have landed a date.

Says Nails Are 'Cool'

Cher posted to Twitter twice on Xmas Day. The second tweet showed the same, teardrop-shaped diamond ring, but this time, a manicured nail was visible. "I posted this cause his nails are so cool," she wrote.

Celebrity Age Gaps In Hollywood

Age gaps in Hollywood are a talking point when it comes to couples. Celebrities including actress Priyanka Chopra, Meghan Markle, and Heidi Klum are all married to younger men, although none come close to the 40 years separating Cher and hers. Cher has been married and divorced twice: once to Sonny Bono from 1964 to 1975 and once to Gregg Allman from 1975 to 1979.
