Cher, 79, and Alexander Edwards, 39, prove they are STILL going strong after 3 years as they hold hands in Rome
The 79-year-old singer, who had performed the night before at the Dolce and Gabbana party, held her boyfriend's hand as they exited the famous Jackie O nightclub.
Cher looked relaxed wearing a white jacket and a pair of straight leg jeans with black and white sneakers. Her long, dark hair was styled in loose waves.
Edwards, 39, looked dapper in a long white and black animal print shirt over a pair of straight leg jeans and dark shoes. His short blonde hair was closely cropped.
The two have been dating for almost three years.
The couple appear to be going strong during their loved up vacation in Italy.
The pair met for the first time at Paris Fashion Week in October 2022. They were first seen holding hands in public a month later.
Edwards, a music executive at Universal Group, shares custody of his son, Slash, five, with ex-partner Amber Rose.
According to Rose, the two women get along well.
'I'm very happy that [Alexander is] with Cher because it creates stability for when [our] son goes over there,' she said on The Jason Lee Podcast in March 2024. 'It's not all mayhem and stuff.'
As an older woman, Cher has received more than a little pushback on the difference in her and Edwards' ages, but that doesn't seem to bother the unflappable icon.
Cher has dated several younger men over the years, including the late Val Kilmer and later his Top Gun co-star Tom Cruise.
In 1986, at age 40, the future Oscar winner a young baker named Rob Camilletti, who was 22 at the time.
Edwards is the dad of five-year-old Slash, whom he shares with ex Amber Rose. Rose has said she considers Cher a stabilizing influence on her son; Pictured in Santa Monica, CA in October 2024

Camilletti was her plus-one at the Academy Awards in 1988 for Moonstruck. The pair broke up the next year due to the media attention surround their relationship.
The Silkwood actress also dated Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora for about a year. The pair went their separate ways in 1990.
Amazingly, Cher has been able to remain friends with a good number of her exes, explaining on the Table Manners podcast in December 2023, 'I'm close with all of my exes. I'm really close. Yeah. I have a feeling that you have to like someone a lot before you go to bed with them.'
As for her penchant for younger men, Cher explained on The Jennifer Hudson Show in May 2024 it comes partly from necessity. 'The reason I got with young men is because men my age are older—well, now they're all dead—but before, they were always terrified to approach me, and younger men—they were raised by women like me.'

Derek Thompson to retire from commentary today after 60 years behind the mic
DEREK THOMPSON will be hanging up his mic after 60 years today – and if there is any justice in the world it will be a 'photo!' finish. The legendary broadcaster, 74, will call the first three races at Wolverhampton this evening before retiring from the commentary box. 1 He will continue to work in racing, he just won't be calling them home anymore. He said: 'I did my first call at a point-to-point when I was 15 and started on radio in 1970. It's the right time to hand over the binoculars. I've so many great memories.' Thommo was part of the Channel 4 Racing team for nearly 30 years and has one of the most recognisable voices in the sport, with his calls of 'photo!' and 'that's one for the judge' his trademark. His career has also included a spell with the BBC, when he commentated on the Grand National at the age of 22, while he also worked for Sheikh Mohammed in Dubai and defeated the future King Charles III in a charity race. Two races have been named in his honour at Wolverhampton, the 'It's A Photo – Big Fella EBF Restricted Maiden Fillies' Stakes' (7.30) and the Thanks For Everything Tommo – Happy Retirement Handicap (9.00). After a tough day at Ayr in January, when he 'made a hash' of the finish in the concluding race, he received lots of abuse and soon after he decided to call it a day. He said: 'I shouldn't have gone to Ayr, I drove up there on the day and I was tired, I called the result right but made a hash of it. 'I was mortified and I got so much abuse when I was heading home. I put out a video message the next day saying I'd had a bad day and I got so much love and support, it was wonderful.' Of course, he gained widespread fame more recently when his 'it's a man actually, Derek' and 'are you well? I thought you were' clips went viral on social media. He added: 'I've had so much fun, Radio 1 DJ Greg James really helped drive it. I have a neon sign at home now which says, 'Are you well? I thought you were'. 'I'm a little nervous and sad it's coming to an end, but I'm hoping there will be five in a line at the finish so I can give it one last 'photo!'.' .

Janet Street-Porter leaves Loose Women open-mouthed as she reveals her little-known role in adult movie before TV fame
Janet Street Porter left her Loose Women co-stars open-mouthed as she revealed her little-known role in adult movie during Monday's instalment of the ITV show. The 78-year-old, Charlene White, 45, Katie Piper, 41, and Brenda Edwards, 56, returned to the studio to discuss the latest headlines and newsworthy topics. The Loose ladies got chatting about their first jobs as most schools have officially broken up for the summer holidays. Janet confessed that she landed a role as a temporary clinical officer at the tax office to cover for her mum, but it was her next job that was out of the norm. She said: 'When I was at college, a friend of mine got a job advising, it was the end of the 60s and London had a lot of foreign film directors and wanted to make a lot of saucy movies about swinging London. 'My friend got a job as an art director or something, and he got me a job as an actual actress, non-speaking, extra and I played a receptionist.' Katie asked: 'An adult movie?' 'Yes,' Janet replied. 'The thing is, I had like a mini white nylon overall, I had hair sprayed silver, I had false eye lashes. 'They took my glasses off me. So don't ask me what the action was!' Charlene pointed out: 'You couldn't see the extra stuff?' Janet added: 'I walked through the Turkish bars, I held my clipboard high. ' 'Do you know what? The film is available, but unsurprisingly we're not going to show it,' Charlene said. Meanwhile others opened up about their first jobs. Katie confessed: 'Before I got my national insurance number, so I guess I must have been 14, me and my sister had a car-washing business. 'Looking back, quality control wasn't high, it was mobile with bucket and sponge, no hose pipe. There was probably quite a lot of soap suds on your car at the end. 'We then also had table top sales at the end of the drive. 'We lived in a village, in my mum's garden there was an apple tree. We would sell all the apples, all our old toys. We weren't paying tax but we were 14...' Then when she got her NI number she landed herself a job at Tesco. Katie said: 'I kept that job for the whole of college, I started on the checkouts, then I went to customer service, got promoted to the tobacco kiosk. 'I was at my mum's this weekend, I went back into Tesco and loads of the same people that I worked with are still there now.' Charlene started working part-time at 16 and then at 18 she worked at the London Trocadero - and she would sometimes dress up as Sonic the Hedgehog handing out flyers. It comes after Janet's comments to Loose Women co-star Kelle Bryan resulted in her storming out of the studio into the audience last week. Janet, Kelle, Brenda and Coleen spoke about heartbreak and they all had different opinions. Kelle said: 'I'm clearly on the wrong panel today... if I get my heart broken it takes me a long time to recover. 'I'll be sad and down, it takes me a long time to let someone in in the first place. To trust somebody. 'It takes me a bit of time to say you're my person, but once I've made that decision, you're my person, you're in my world. 'If they let me down, hurt me, cheat on me, dump me, I'm devastated for a bit!' Janet piped up and asked: 'But Kelly, aren't you just cross you messed up and made the wrong decision?' A shocked Kelle said: 'Right. I'm off. I'm going to go and sit in the audience!'
