Love may just be in the air for superstar Cher or, even better for fans, perhaps she's creating brand-new music.

On Wednesday, the singer was snapped holding hands with Alexander Edwards, 36, at Craig's restaurant on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood.

Edwards was spotted meeting Cher outside the restaurant and holding her hand as they walked inside to see rapper Tyga, 32, who has been in contact with the 76-year-old for a while. They were photographed together at Paris Fashion Week in September 2022.

Later on, the trio left for the Nice Guy restaurant and bar on La Cienega Boulevard, with Tyga driving off in his own car.

On the way, Edwards was snapped kissing Cher's hand in the back seat of a car, before the pair again held hands as they walked into the Nice Guy venue, reported The Los Angeles Times.

Rumors of romance were further fueled when Cher tweeted: "One part of my life is SO AMAZING," on Tuesday, less than 24 hours before she was spotted out in public with Edwards.

But, for now, Cher and Edwards have yet to comment on the nature of their relationship, so it is highly possible they are just friends or working together on new music.

Newsweek has everything you need to know about Edwards.

Who Is Alexander Edwards?

Alexander Edwards, also known as "A.E.," is a music producer and rapper from Oakland, California.

He has worked with Tyga on numerous songs and is employed at the rapper's indie record label, Last Kings Records.

Edwards is also the vice president of A&R (artists and repertoire) at Def Jam, which has been home to stars such as Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and 2 Chainz. He is responsible for scouting talent.

Edwards dated model Amber Rose, 39, who was married to Wiz Khalifa from 2013 to 2016 and who dated Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) for two years. Edwards and Rose share a 3-year-old son but ended their romance in August 2021.

Shortly after their split, Edwards admitted via his Instagram Live that he had cheated on Rose: "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.

"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."

Fans of Cher will have to wait and see what will happen next between her and Edwards. Is it a romance, or is an incredible collaboration on the way between her and Tyga, with Edwards acting as producer?

Newsweek has contacted Cher and Edwards's representatives for comment.
