She's getting married to a man HALF her age! And here I am, 34, putting myself out there and still as single as a pringle before the holidays, and my damn birthday tomorrow 😭😭😭😭😭

@ForeverHopeful3 I'd rather be single than stuck with someone who isn't right...... good luck to cher x

If it offers you any hope, I got married at 42, had first child just shy of 43 and second at 46. If you want to hook up with someone, just get out there dating, hanging out with work colleagues etc and happy birthday for tomorrow. 😎

Oof. Even that link follows the announcement with the unrelated titbit that she's worth 360 mill.
He's a rapper. She's an icon.
Hoping her lawyers/accountants are shrewd.
Colour me cynical.

I would rather chew my own toenails off than MARRY a man half my age. From snippets I’ve read, Cher seems very distressed by ageing and maybe she feels younger if she’s with him.

Would you like to be with a 70 year old? Tbh I don’t think you will have any problems finding one if you decide it’s for you.

She’s been married loads and there’s no way that guy is interested in anything other than her money and fame.

Pinkissmart · 09/12/2025 07:01

I think she probably got married in her mid thirties too.

There’s no need for the posts shaming her though.

Her finance closes his eyes and thinks of the money

Dear OP. About 99.9% of women would rather be you. 😁

Take comfort that only bits of Cher are 80 years old.

Laughed out loud at this!

Happy birthday OP!

Honestly though I don't think the lives that people like Cher live bare much resemblance to the lives that the rest of us live. But she like the rest of us , has had her share of unhappiness and troubles.

Alexadidzammomarryjackie · 09/12/2025 04:16

To paraphrase Mrs Merton, I wonder what it was about the mega-millionaire Cher that first attracted her Z-list 'celebrity' fiance?

Personally, that doesn't sound very aspirational to me. It's highly, highly unlikely that this guy really loves her. He'll be in it for the money/fame.

Happy birthday for tomorrow! You're still young and have plenty of time to find a man.
