Cher recently stepped out with her boyfriend Alexander “AE” Edwards and his son, sparking curiosity about the boy’s family background. Here’s what to know about his biological mother and what she had to say about her ex’s relationship with Cher and her son spending time with the iconic singer.

Cher and her boyfriend, Alexander “AE” Edwards, recently attended a public event, drawing attention not just for their matching leather outfits but for the presence of Edwards’ young son.

While Edwards has openly praised Cher’s role in his son’s life, questions lingered about the little boy’s biological mother. Who is she, and what does she have to say about Edwards’ relationship with Cher and the time her son spends with the iconic singer?

Cher and Alexander Edwards’ Appearance with His Son

Cher and Edwards made headlines when they stepped out at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The iconic singer, 78, and her 38-year-old boyfriend showed up in matching black leather outfits, capturing everyone’s attention.

Cher’s sleek, belted leather maxi skirt and fitted corset complemented her beau’s edgy style, and the pair appeared closer than ever as Cher affectionately wrapped her arms around Edwards.

Accompanying them on the red carpet was Edwards’ five-year-old son, Slash. The young boy, dressed casually, added a charming element to the couple’s high-profile appearance.

Edwards, who has often spoken fondly of his relationship with Cher, shared that what initially drew him to her was simply “Cher being Cher.” When asked if the legendary musician was a good stepmother to his son, Edwards didn’t hesitate, stating, “She’s amazing.”

The relationship between Cher and Edwards, which began in late 2022, has been in the public eye due to the pop star’s celebrity status and the couple’s visible displays of affection.

Edwards is also a notable figure in the entertainment industry. He rose to fame as a music executive and record producer and became well-known for his high-profile relationships.

The Mother of Alexander Edwards’ Son

Before Edwards began dating Cher, he had a notable relationship with model and actress Amber Rose, with whom he shares his son. Rose gave birth to Slash in 2019, a joyful moment the couple proudly announced on social media.

Rose, who gained fame for her appearances in music videos and high-profile relationships, often shares glimpses of her family life on social media. She is also a mom to her son, Sebastian Taylor, whom she shares with ex-husband Wiz Khalifa.

A few months after Slash’s birth, she posted a touching photo of his older brother lovingly holding him with the caption, “They love each other SOOOO MUCH! 🥰👶🏽👶🏽.”

In November 2020, the actress and model shared another candid moment of the boys playing, referring to them as her “Sweet Lil Angels.” By December 2022, Rose celebrated the holidays with her children, posting pictures of Slash and Sebastian posing with Santa Claus.

At the time of the cute family moment, Rose and Edwards had already split after the former accused Edwards of infidelity. In a series of Instagram stories in 2021, she claimed that he had been unfaithful with multiple women.

Rose shared that she had seen numerous messages and felt humiliated by his actions. She revealed her decision to end the relationship, stating that she couldn’t be the only one fighting for their family while not receiving the same loyalty and respect in return.

Though she didn’t publicly name Edwards at the time, it was clear who she was referring to. However, while the relationship ended on a difficult note, Rose later shared that she harbored no ill feelings toward Edwards.

In a 2024 interview on “The Jason Lee Podcast,” Rose expressed her happiness for her ex-boyfriend, who had since moved on to date Cher. Rose explained, “I’m very happy that he’s with Cher because it creates stability for when [our] son goes over there. That it’s not all mayhem and stuff.”

In an exclusive clip obtained by Page Six, Rose seemingly surprised Lee by expressing her ease with her son spending time at Cher’s home.

When the host questioned whether Rose had any concerns about her son being around Cher, she dismissed the idea, explaining that she had no reason to be upset. With a touch of humor, Rose added that someone had to manage Edwards, and she was glad it wasn’t her.

Cher and Edwards’ relationship has captivated the public, with their blended family including his son, Slash, from his past with Amber Rose. Despite cheating allegations, Rose supported Edwards’ relationship with the iconic singer, as they co-parent their little boy.

She and Alexander Edwards created a stable and loving environment for Slash, demonstrating that even after a breakup, a family can thrive through cooperation and mutual respect.
