Cher recently shared a photo of Alexander sitting in his underwear with the caption "A.E. Hanging [Out]."

In a reply to a Twitter user asking for relationship advice, Cher said that A.E. "came after me till we met in the middle" and is the "consistent" partner in their relationship, whereas she's the "skittish" partner. "LADIES NEVER GIVE UP," she wrote, while also saying that he's "different 4 me."

In another reply to someone asking her about Alexander's best quality, Cher said that he's "kind, smart, hilarious" and that they kiss "like teenagers."

"On paper this looks strange (even 2 ME)," Cher also wrote in a separate tweet before also saying that Alexander believes love "doesn't know math."

"I [love] him because he wasn't afraid," she said in another reply. "He's kind, hilarious, smart, talented, beautiful. We talk & laugh. We r perfectly matched. Do I wsih I was younger, yah, I'm not boo fkn hoo."

And that's that. We'll see how all of this turns out!
