Cher has spoken out about the large age gap between her and her new boyfriend as she argues ‘love doesn’t know math.’

The Believe singer, 76, is in a relationship with music producer Alexander Edwards, 36, and has dismissed the 40-year-age gap between them on several occasions.

With the couple having been spotted holding hands on dates night and sharing snaps of one another to social media, Cher and Alexander seem totally loved up.

Now the If I Could Turn Back Time icon has defended the age gap once again, telling those who are concerned: ‘We’re grown ups.’

The star took to Twitter on Thursday where she shared a snap of a topless Alexander grinning at the camera, wearing only a pair of black shorts, and captioned it: ‘A.E. (Alexander Edwards) hanging out.’

While the comment section was filled mainly with fans lending words of support or generally fangirling, some asked about the age gap.

Asked by one faan what her favourite thing about Alexander is, the chart-topper replied: ‘He’s Kind ,Smart, Hilarious…& We [lips emoji] Like Teenagers (sic).’

She later sent out a separate message where she said: ‘On paper This Looks strange (Even [to] ME).’

However she added that Alexander says love ‘doesn’t know math.’

In another reply to a fan looking for advice about approaching a younger man, Cher opened up on how her and Alexander’s relationship started and said: ‘In the end he came after me, till we met in the middle.’

‘He’s Consistent one,I’m The Skittish one. We love each other…. LADIES NEVER GIVE UP,’ she wrote.

The icon had previously given her two cents on fans’ concerns Cher could be ‘taken advantage of,’ sarcastically writing: ‘I WASNT BORN YESTERDAY.’

‘There Are No Guarantees. Anytime you make a Choice You Take a Chance. I’ve Always Taken Chances…It’s WHO I Am (sic).’
