Cher Says She Dates Younger Men Because They’re Bold, Less Intimidated

Cher‘s breaking down her dating habits — saying she’s into younger dudes ’cause they’re not terrified of her … this while also admitting she herself passed on Elvis once upon a time.

The legendary singer sat down with fellow vocalist Jennifer Hudson on her talk show Wednesday, and the two dove headfirst into Cher’s dating life … touching specifically on why Cher’s always got some young hottie on her arm — a recurring theme in recent years.

Cher says she’s actually shy when she’s not working — shocking given her big onstage persona. With that in mind, she says she likes men to approach her … and, apparently, guys her age just haven’t been willing to do that.

As Cher puts it … older guys have proven to be too intimidated to holler — whereas fellas like her much younger boo, Alexander Edwards, don’t have the same hang-ups … product of her generation, she reckons.

BTW … it seems like Cher and Edwards are still going strong despite their nearly 40-year age gap. They first got together near the end of 2022, — and despite sources telling us they split last May — they’ve seemingly reconciled and are still an item.

One last tidbit from this … Cher says her shyness has sabotaged some of her relationships — including a chance to go out with The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Elvis Presley.
