The word “fine” can do a lot of heavy lifting. It’s a versatile answer for the “how are you”s and “is that okay”s of life, and can convey any level of fineness, from fully chill to furious acceptance of a situation, and everywhere in between. But Amber Rose does, in fact, seem totally fine with Cher dating her ex-partner, A.E. Edwards, and spending time with the 4-year-old son Rose and Edwards share.
In a new interview with Jason Lee in an upcoming episode of The Jason Lee Show, Page Six reports, Rose was chipper about the relationship between her 38-year-old ex and the 70-year-old singer.
“Let’s be very clear—why would I ever be mad at her?” Rose said of Cher. “I don’t want him.”
She said that she’s “very happy that he’s with Cher” for son Slash Electric Alexander Edwards’ sake.
“It creates stability for when [our] son goes over there,” she said. “That it’s not all mayhem and stuff.”
She further expounded of the elder Edwards, “Somebody gotta tolerate him and it ain’t gonna be me, right? So I’m very happy that he’s over there with her because it’s stability for my son.”
Cher and Edwards have a 40-year age difference, and the music icon said that they originally fell in love over text message. The two have also collaborated on new music from Cher, as with 2023’s Christmas album. Though she has called their relationship “kind of ridiculous,” she can’t help but gush about her beau.
“No matter what happens, I love being with him,” Cher said last year of Edwards. “He makes me laugh, and we have fun. What I learned is that it’s never too late. If you wrote out all the statistics, you would go, ‘Well, this is doomed.’ But we’ve been together a year, and if it was just a year, it would’ve been worth it. I’ve had the best time.”
Rose and Edwards dated between 2018 and 2021 and welcomed their son in 2019. Their relationship ended because of Edwards’s infidelity, he has said publicly. In a January 2023 interview on the Sofia with an F podcast, after it was confirmed that Cher and Edwards were an item, Rose lamented the state of the dating landscape.
“It’s worse than ever,” she said. “They’re pretty disgusting out here. They’re fucking gross. Like, I wanna be single for the rest of my life. I don’t want to share my house or my life with anyone. I don’t want anyone around my kids. I don’t want to have sex…It’s so gross. I don’t want it.”
Now, she said in the new interview with Lee, she does want something from Edwards: Good parenting.
“The only thing that I ask is that you’re present is that you’re a present father, you help with me get him through private school,” she said. “Just be a present father. I don’t care if it’s her, or a dog, or a dolphin or a fucking rat. I don’t care who you are fucking, I’m not that type of baby momma. That’s not who I’ll ever be. I want him to be happy because a happy parent is good for our child. So that’s all I care about.”
