Cher stole the spotlight at her son Chaz Bono’s wedding thanks to a massive ring on her finger. The music icon attended Bono’s wedding to Shara Blue Mathes on March 9, 2026, at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in a surprisingly casual outfit.
The “Believe” singer wore her signature black aesthetic in a zip-up hoodie with a star pattern, a muted red top, and loose, cargo-style pants. She completed the laid-back look with chunky black sneakers and a small bag. See the look here.

Cher Dishes On Age Gap With Boyfriend
Page Six reported that although she was spotted wearing the ring, the couple “is not engaged.”
The 79-year-old and music producer Alexander “AE” Edwards first connected at Paris Fashion Week in late 2022, and their relationship became public in November of that year. Despite a brief breakup in mid-2023, the pair reconciled and have since continued their romance, embracing their roughly 40-year age difference.
They often show affection publicly, make red carpet appearances together, and Cher has defended their relationship, famously stating that “love doesn’t know math” and that it’s never too late to find happiness.
While appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the legendary singer said, “On paper, it’s kind of ridiculous. But in real life, we get along great. He’s fabulous. And I don’t give men qualities that they don’t deserve.”
Alexander “AE” Edwards is a well-known music executive, producer, and songwriter.
