Cher has fuelled speculation she is engaged to her 36-year-old boyfriend after posting a picture of a diamond ring on Christmas Day.

The 76-year-old confirmed her romance with music executive Alexander Edwards in November, tweeting a picture of him accompanied by a red heart emoji.

But now it looks like they might be taking things one step further.

Cher tweeted an image of a glitzy ring on 25 December, writing alongside the snap: “THERE R NO WORDS, ALEXANDER, A.E.”

While congratulations flooded in, some of her fans weren’t entirely clear of the meaning behind the photo.

One replied: “Wait wait wait hold uppp!! Is that a diamond ring or a ring with diamonds???? What does it meeeaaaan?????????”

Some other fans have been sceptical of the romance, with one telling the star earlier in December: “I’m immediately suspicious of his intentions towards you.”

But Cher hit back, saying: “As we All Know …I WASNT BORN YESTERDAY,& What I Know For Sure…There Are No Guarantees. Anytime you make a Choice You Take a Chance.I’ve Always Taken Chances…It’s WHO I Am.”

Edwards is the ex-partner of model and TV star Amber Rose, with whom he shares a three-year-old son, Slash Electric Alexander Edwards.

Rose accused her former partner of cheating multiple times during their relationship.

As for Cher, the Goddess of Pop has been married twice before.

Her first husband, Sonny Bono – with whom she shares a son, Chaz, aged 53 – died in 1998. The pair separated in 1974.

Days after the divorce was finalised, in 1975, she married her second husband Gregg Allman. Their son, Elijah Blue Allman, 46, was born a year later but they divorced in 1978.

It has been a tough few weeks for the singer, as her mother, Georgia Holt died at the start of December.
