Cher opens up about why she dates younger men.

While on the Jennifer Hudson Show, Cher opens up about her history with Elvis Presley. When asked why she turned down his advances she explains,“It was because I was nervous and I knew of the people around him and it wasn’t that they were bad people, it’s just that I was kind of nervous of his reputation,”

She continued: I’m really shy when I’m not working and kind of shy around men.”

The pop icon has been romantically linked with music executive, Alexander ‘A.E’ Edwards.

Cher confirmed their relationship back in November. “On paper, it’s kind of ridiculous,” Cher said of the relationship. “But in real life, we get along great. He’s fabulous. And I don’t give men qualities that they don’t deserve.”

While speaking with J. Hud, Cher addressed the chatter around her currently relationship. “And the reason I go out with young men is because men my age or older — well, now they’re all dead — but before they just never, they were always terrified to approach me and younger men were… raised by women like me!”

This isn’t the first time Cher talks her relationship with A.E. We previously reported that while on the Kelly Clarkson show, Cher gushes over her man. She says, “On paper, it’s kind of ridiculous,” Cher said of the couple. “But in real life, we get along great. He’s fabulous. And I don’t give men qualities that they don’t deserve.”

“He’s very kind, very smart, he’s very talented, and he’s really funny,” she said. “And I think he’s quite handsome.”
