The trailer of the highly anticipated Netflix romcom A Family Affair, featuring Hollywood icons Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron, has sparked discussion about women dating younger men. The film delves into the clandestine love story between a young renowned star and a middle-aged widow.

But such romances are more common in Tinseltown – and beyond – than you might think. Here are 10 female celebrities who have embraced love with men who are years younger than them.

1. Cher and Alexander Edwards: 40 years

Cher, 78, and rapper Alexander Edwards, 38, came into the limelight in November 2022 when they went public with their relationship after being spotted together in Los Angeles.

Edwards once admitted to cheating on his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose on Instagram Live with DJ Big Von, saying, “I thought, ‘S***, I got caught.’ I got caught before, you know what I’m saying? And she’s just had enough.” But Cher made it clear that she was not bothered by his actions and stood by him, posting on X (formerly Twitter), “As we all know … I wasn’t born yesterday and what I know for sure … there are no guarantees. Anytime you make a choice you take a chance. I’ve always taken chances … It’s who I am.”

The couple have walked the red carpet and attended events together, and even sparked engagement rumours. After just six months of dating, they apparently broke up, but appeared to remain on good terms.

However, just four months later, they were seen snuggling up together during Paris Fashion Week, per People, and seem to have been together since then.
