  "He's Kind, Smart, Hilarious...& We 🫦Like Teenagers," she wrote with a lip biting emoji.

  She also later spoke out about her new relationship in a series of tweets where she tried to reassure those worried about their age gap.
  "LOVE DOESNT KNOW MATH, IT SEES [two red heart emojis]," the star wrote on Friday. "RINPOCHE TOLD ME 'SOME PPL MEET, OTHERS 'RECOGNIZE.'"
  Edwards is a rapper and music producer who goes by "A.E." and previously dated Amber Rose with whom he shares a 3-year-old son. But they split up back in August 2021 after two years together.
  He admitted to cheating on the model during an Instagram Live.
  "She's had enough, obviously. I love her, though. That's like, my best friend, the mother of my son. I love my stepson, too, but....I like women," Edwards said.
  "I know that I could stop [cheating]. I could give her a good, solid six months and just really, like, deprive myself of my true nature for as long as I can take it, but I don't want to live like that."
  Cher was previously married to Sonny Bono and Gregg Allman. She is mom to two sons, Chaz Bono, 53, and Elijah Blue Allman, 46.
