Cher has been taking in all the pomp and circumstance at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival in the South Of France with boyfriend Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards.
And on Thursday, while stepping out to the amfAR Gala that’s part of the festival’s many events, the legendary singer and actress gave an update on her goal to make new music with her beau.
‘He and I are gonna start a new album,’ she revealed on the red carpet of the event. ‘We haven’t started yet; he’s going to produce it.’
Just last year, Cher excitedly shared her ambitious plans to make two new studio albums together.
‘Some of the songs Alexander gave me, so I’m pretty excited about that,’ she shared, before adding, ‘He’s a producer and a writer and he does everything, so I’m happy about that. I think like any artist, when you’ve got something good, you’re excited.’
Cher, 78, teased fans once again on her plans to make a new studio album with her boyfriend Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards, although they haven’t started the work just yet, she revealed on the red carpet of the amfAR Gala as part of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival

The two stars coordinated in glamorous black outfits, with Cher decked out in a form-fitting gown with sheer panel details.
She added a plush fur coat to the ensemble, which she teamed with stone-covered platform heels, sparkly fingerless gloves, all while showing off a long French manicure with silver tips.
Her long and glossy jet black hair was arranged in a center part and cascading spirals that spilled down her back and over her chest.
Her beau looked classy in a black suit paired with a white button-up shirt, black dress shoes, and accessorized with eye-catching earrings and rings.
Joining the couple on the red carpet was 61-year-old actress Demi Moore.
The longtime Hollywood leading lady looked incredible as she bared her perky cleavage in a plunging white gown with a draped neckline.
The sleeveless number bared her impressively toned arms and she added open-toe high heels to her ensemble, while having her raven locks styled long and straight with an elegant updo.
The silver screen siren was decked out in jewelry that included a long necklace and drop earrings.
In addition to smooches from her boyfriend, Cher was on the receiving end of affection from Moore, who kissed her on her head.

During her career, Cher has released 27 studio albums between 1965 and 2023.
She most recently released her first festive studio album, Christmas, in October, marking her first batch of original music in a decade.
This past December the If I Could Turn Back Time star revealed how she got inspired to get back to singing and recording again, according to The Telegraph.
‘Well I haven’t made anything for a long time, and Alexander said to me when we first met, “Why aren’t you singing?”‘ she shared while speaking at the Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square, London.
‘I said I don’t know, she shot back, before adding, ‘I wasn’t inspired and then he brought me some songs that were really great that I’m gonna [put] on this next album I’m about to do.”
The lovebirds also shared a few laughs while walking the red carpet

After loud cheers from the audience, she explained: ‘I’m in the groove and so I might as well do it because I really forgot how much I liked singing. I’m going to start it in February.’
Cher (born Cherilyn Sarkisian) shot to fame in the 1960s as one half of husband and wife duo, Sonny & Cher. The pair went on to become big television stars with The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour before later divorcing.
She went on to pursue a successful solo singing career, and then weaved her magic on an acting career, which ultimately resulted in her winning a Best Actress Academy Award for her role in Moonstruck (1988).
Edwards has worked as a music executive at Universal Music Group, which is one of three major record labels in the industry along with Sony Music and Warner Music Group.
The label has a roster of musical artists that includes Post Malone, Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande.
The legendary singer and actress also debuted a fun white gold and diamond nose ring

He has also worked as a music producer who has worked on rapper Tyga’s independent label Last Kings Records.
The couple first made headlines together when they were photographed holding hands in November 2022.
In the days that followed Cher confirmed her romance with Edwards in a string of posts on Twitter, which included a single photo of the musician with the simple caption: ‘Alexander ❤️.’
And when the legendary performer began to receive criticism for the 40-year age gap between the two, she shared how she wasn’t bothered by the age difference, by adding, ‘Love doesn’t know math.’

Edwards is all too familiar with the glowing spotlight of being a celebrity working after working with various musical artists and serving as vice President of A&R at Def Jam Records beginning in 2018 who was responsible for signing Osiris Williams, otherwise known as YK Osiris.
In his personal life, Edwards previously dated Amber Rose for about three years before they decided to go their own ways in August 2021, according to People.
Through her social media platforms, Rose, 40, accused Edwards of cheating on her with at least 12 different people.
The former couple share a four-year-old son Slash together.
The two stars shared an embrace before going their own ways
Earlier this month Cher cheekily quipped that she prefers to have younger boyfriends because all of the men in her age group have died.
While appearing on the Jennifer Hudson Show, she said she would rather date men from later generations, who ‘were raised by women like me’ and as a result were never scared of her.
Cher has long had a reputation for dating younger men — she was involved with actor Rob Camilletti in 1986 when she was 40 and he was 22.
The El Centro, California native met Edwards at Paris Fashion Week in September 2022, and they went on to go public with their romance that November.
