AE and Cher Hit a Rough Patch?

A few months ago Cher announced she was working on new music with her boy-toy music producer, Alexander 'AE' Edwards [click here if you missed that]. 

Now it looks like AE and Cher are headed in two different directions...

From In Touch

Cher and boyfriend Alexander “A.E.” Edwards are having a tough time amid their romance, and sources exclusively tell In Touch that she’s been irritable and clingy while he’s finding her annoying and needing a break more than he ever has.

“They’re still together but spending more time apart. She’s cooped up in that mansion of hers in Malibu and keeping to herself after all that drama with [son] Elijah [Blue Allman] that just got settled, but she’s still testy and tired and demanding as hell, questioning his every move,” the source tells In Touch about the “Believe” singer, 78. “This is paranoia to A.E. and he grumbles she’s not giving him room to breathe.”

The insider adds that A.E., 38, finds Cher’s behavior “overbearing,” while “she wonders if he was really that young prince that she thought he was.”

"She needs more from him and has been acting needy and he’s pulling away. People are whispering they’re fizzling out, which is inevitable,” the source continues. “The feeling among their friends is, they never really were a well-suited couple for the long term even if she does a good job dragging him out to silence the rumors now and then.”
