Whoa whoa whoa…Cher, 77, enjoys night out with beau Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards, 38, after losing conservatorship bid over son Elijah Allman
Cher shrugged off her familial drama while out at a pre-Grammys party with her boyfriend, Alexander “AE” Edwards.
The “Believe” singer, 77, and Edwards, 38, arrived together at Warner Music Group’s bash Thursday night at Citizen News Hollywood, where her beau was seen chivalrously opening the door to the SUV for her.
Cher rocked faded black jeans that featured rhinestones sprinkled over the legs and paired them with velvet bolero jacket and a scoop-neck top.
Edwards complemented her look in similar faded jeans and a black overcoat.

he couple’s night out on the town comes after the “If I Could Turn Back Time” performer lost a bid to become her son Elijah Blue Allman’s conservator.
Cher argued in her legal petition that Allman, 47, required the conservatorship because she believed he’d use the payments from his trust — which he received after his father, late musician Gregg Allman, died — to fuel his substance abuse.

The judge felt an urgent conservatorship wasn’t required but would consider a larger, long-term conservatorship at a hearing in March.
Elijah, who attended the meeting in-person, acknowledged his previous mental health and substance abuse issues but maintained he’s seeking treatment and regularly attending meetings.

“We are thrilled that the court saw that he does not need a temporary conservatorship,” Elijah’s lawyer said as he stood alongside him outside the courthouse.
“He’s got a lot of support, he’s doing great.”
Allman has maintained that the conservatorship isn’t necessary as he’s seeking treatment for his mental health and substance abuse issues.
Elijah’s wife, with whom he recently reconciled, also has been by his side and has argued that Cher is unfit to serve as her husband’s conservator.
“To my knowledge, the petitioner has never known the security code to her own home, does not drive, does not prepare her own meals or dress herself, and has admitted to me that she is a ‘manic depressive,’” Marieangela King claimed in court documents.
She concluded her petition by saying her husband doesn’t need a conservator, but should the court feel differently, it should not be Cher.
