While part of the public disapproves of Cher and Alexander "AE" Edwards' relationship, the singer's co-star spoke recently to support her and her life choices.

Speaking during an appearance on Thursday's episode of "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," Alan Cumming was asked if he already talked with Cher about her new boyfriend. The couple has been getting the spotlight because of their 40-year age gap - with the "If I Could Turn Back Time" singer now 76-year-old while her beau is 37.

"I haven't spoken to Cher for a while, actually, but I love her, and I'm all for her getting some action," he said.

Cher and Cumming worked in the hit 2010 flick, "Burlesque."

The "Just Like Jesse James" singer previously addressed the buzz regarding their age gap, saying it is not an issue at all. She shared in a since-deleted tweet that "love doesn't know math."

An industry source shared the same sentiment in January and said that their age difference is a plus and not an issue for Cher.


She also appeared on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," where she shared details about their relationship. At that time, she assured everyone that they get along together. She also showered Edwards with compliments, saying he is smart, kind, talented, and funny.

The singer has been dating the Def Jam music executive since November following their meeting at the Paris Fashion Week. Edwards previously dated Amber Rose, with whom he shares a child together.

On the other hand, Cher was previously married to Greg Allman and Sonny Bono. She also has a history of dating younger men, including Val Kilmer and Tom Cruise.

Cher, AE Edwards' Relationship Affecting Her Children?

Although Cher receives support from her friends, colleagues, and fans, her sons 53-year-old Chaz Bono and 46-year-old Elijah Blue Allman are reportedly not happy about their relationship.

Sources told Radar Online that the mother and sons started feuding after Chaz and Elijah accused Edwards of being gold-digger. They alleged that he is just playing around as he only wants to get something from her popularity and influence in the music industry.

But for Cher, according to unnamed insiders, her kids should reportedly consider her happiness instead of thinking about her money.

In relation to Chaz and Elijah's comments, another source said Edwards has not paid for anything for them since they met in Paris.
