Reports have claimed pop legend Cher is feeling broody for another baby at the age of 77. The singer has been dating her 37-year-old boyfriend Alexander “AE” Edwards for over a year now.
In that time, she has been able to spend a lot of time with AE and Amber Rose’s son, Slash. According to sources who spoke to In Touch, the four-year-old inspired Cher to consider becoming a mom again herself.
The unnamed source said, “She’s telling AE it’s her dream in life to have another baby.” However, the source went on to explain that Cher’s options to fulfill her dream are pretty limited.

They said that Cher had “missed the boat” when it came to freezing her eggs or hiring a surrogate. However, she is reportedly giving serious thought to the idea of adopting a baby. The source alleged that it was “something she would very much like to do”.
Cher has also made it clear that, for her, age is just a number. She doesn’t believe she is too old to have another baby. In Touch’s source added that Cher “stays fit and plans to live well into her 90s like her mom.”
The source also addressed the possibility that Cher’s situation with her two adult children might be part of her motivation to do it all again. It has been well publicized that the singer’s sons Chaz and Elijah have not always had the best relationship with their mother.
The source explained, “She was so career-focused when they were young.” Having another child now would give Cher the chance to take a different approach. The source claimed that Cher would “appreciate being a mom this time around.”
Cher and AE’s Relationship Has Has Some Rough Spots
The news of Cher’s “dream” to have a baby is just the latest sign of her commitment to her boyfriend AE. Last December, In Touch reported that she was “madly in love” with the music executive.

However, their romantic journey has not always been plain sailing. Parade magazine reported in May last year that the couple had actually split up. However, by October, Us Weekly reported that they had been back together “for a while.”
While sources have said they’re “stronger than ever,” they have obviously faced their fair share of criticism, mainly because of the age gap between them. Cher in particular faced backlash after appearing to go against her own advice.

She had previously admitted, “I told my friends, don’t fall in love with a younger man – we’re too old – and don’t ever fall in love by text.” However, she did go on to add, in reference to her own relationship, “There goes that theory.”
Even her own family has voiced concern, especially regarding the prospect of marriage. A source told In Touch that the family was worried what would happen to Cher’s “$360 million” fortune if she married AE. While Cher’s rep has reportedly denied rumors of a wedding, the recent baby reports suggest that Cher has not closed the door on anything in the near future.
