Get to know Alexander "AE" Edwards.

The music executive recently made headlines when he was photographed holding hands with Cher on Nov. 2 in Los Angeles; the two were seen in matching all-black outfits outside L.A. hotspots earlier that week.

In the days that followed, the music legend received criticism for the 40-year age gap between the two. But true to form, Cher responded on Twitter with a series of tweets implying that she wasn't bothered by the age difference.

Among the string of Twitter posts, the "Believe" superstar confirmed her relationship with Edwards when she shared a photo of him, simply writing, "Alexander ??." When asked if he was her "new man," she responded with a "??" emoji, and to another Twitter user, she simply said, "Love doesn't know math."

Cher spoke about her boyfriend again during a Dec. 2, 2022, appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. "On paper, it's kind of ridiculous," the singer said of their relationship. "But in real life, we get along great. He's fabulous. And I don't give men qualities that they don't deserve."

In February 2023, the couple were once again spotted hand-in-hand as they stepped out in L.A. for a pre-Grammy party honoring Pusha T and The Dream. According to photos posted by Edwards on Instagram, he wasn't shy about introducing Cher as his girlfriend to his industry pals.

Edwards is no stranger to the spotlight or dating in the music industry. He was previously in a relationship with Amber Rose for three years before ending in August 2021, with Rose appearing to accuse Edwards of cheating on her with at least 12 different people.

From his family history to his musical background, here's everything to know about Edwards.

Edwards and Amber Rose welcomed a child together in October 2019. The couple (who split in 2021 after multiple instances of infidelity) made sure to give their baby a very musical name, Slash Electric Alexander Edwards.

"Slash a rockstar," Edwards captioned a now-deleted Instagram post.

Edwards and Cher met for the first time at Paris Fashion Week this past September. Although they weren't photographed together at the time, the Grammy winner posed for photos with AE's friend Tyga.

Since then, photos have been captured of the trio hitting the town together. Most recently, they were snapped outside Los Angeles hot-spot Craig's and The Nice Guy in early November — in which Cher and Edwards were seen holding hands.

Edwards is 36 years old and Cher is 76, but the Grammy winner isn't fazed by the decades between the two. "LOVE DOESN'T KNOW MATH, IT SEES ?? ??," Cher wrote in a since-deleted tweet captured by The Shade Room.

Cher has a history of dating men her junior, including Val Kilmer, Tom Cruise and Rob Camilletti in the 1980s.

"The truth was if I hadn't gone out with younger men, I would have never had a date," Cher told PEOPLE in 2021. "Younger men weren't intimidated by older women. But older men in my age category, they weren't having it."

He bought Cher an engagement-like ring

Engagement rumors began swirling after Edwards bought Cher a massive diamond ring for Christmas.

"THERE R NO WORDS," the "Believe" singer captioned an image of the ring on Twitter.

On New Year's Eve, Cher showed off her new bling in a photo with Edwards — but she was not wearing the diamond on her ring finger.

In February 2023, a source told PEOPLE that the couple "aren't talking marriage" just yet.

"They are very much in love. They are exclusive and serious," the source added. "Cher likes that he's young. It's exciting for her."

He helped Cher cope with the loss of her mother

In December 2022, Cher's mother died at the age of 96. A music industry source later told PEOPLE that Cher's relationship with Edwards "has helped ease the pain of the loss."

The source also weighed in on the engagement-like ring that Edwards bought the "Strong Enough" singer for Christmas, calling it a "nice and beautiful gift."

A second insider said: "The ring was the perfect present to help her get through this bittersweet time."

He's working on music with Cher

While chatting with E! News in March 2023, Cher shared that she's collaborating with Edwards on her next two albums.

"I'm going to England to make two albums," she told the outlet. "Some of the songs Alexander gave me, so I'm pretty excited about that. He's a producer and a writer and he does everything, so I'm happy about that."
