In feeling pathetic and putting myself down for being single and miserable at 34 when Cher is getting married at 80?

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 😭😭😭😭😭

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.

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

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

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.

😆

bet her kids are buzzin.

Laughed out loud at this!

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

Her finance closes his eyes and thinks of the money

GrI at Freudian slip - fiancé vs finance

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

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

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

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.

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.

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. 😎

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

First off, don't compare yourself to celebs OP. But second, Cher is great. She will speak out about politics and animal rights and has done so for years. This infamous clip shows you that she is confident about how she deals with men (she's been married twice, by the way, which I'm not sure is "loads of times" by today's standards). Good for her

No dissing of Cher! She is an icon. But don’t worry op, you still have plenty of time. 34 isn’t old at all - just keep putting yourself out there (as disheartening as it can feel sometimes)! Do you like sports at all? Running / cycling / triathlon clubs are full of men who are generally quite decent (outdoorsy, motivated, interesting as they like to do things) so that can be a good place to meet people if you are struggling to meet anyone… just an idea (you might not be remotely interested though if you aren’t an outdoors kind of person!)

You can’t possibly compare yourself to Cher!
Also, marriage isn’t that great for women.
Enjoy your birthday!

It's Cher. Icon, multi millionaire, A lister, owner of a huge property portfolio...come on, you can't be surprised she has men wanting to marry her.

If she could turn back time I bet she'd be delighted to be 34 again.

Cher is ONLY getting married at 80 because of who she is. No man would look at her as an 80 year old if she was not who she was!!!!! You are young so have a hell of a lot that she doesnt have. Youth and years and years. Wheras she is very old and does not have much time left!

She's twice married.

Nasty not funny.

But her talent has lasted these nearly 80 years.
