Cher is still ‘close’ to all of her ex-boyfriends.
The 77-year-old pop icon, who was famously married to the late Sonny Bono when performed as a music duo in the 1960s, has dated individuals such as Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and Val Kilmer over the years.
The hitmaker, who recently spoke about being ‘p***ed off’ with her current partner, explained that she has remained on good terms with them because she has to appreciate someone’s personality before becoming intimate with them.
Speaking on the Table Manners podcast, she told hosts Jessie and Lennie Ware: ‘I’m close with all of my exes. I’m really close. Yeah. I have a feeling that you have to like someone a lot before you go to bed with them.’
She added: ‘If you don’t then when you break up, there’s nothing. You can never be friends because you weren’t friends.’

The Believe hitmaker is currently dating Alexander Edwards, 37, but went on to reveal how she met Sonny in the early 1960s.
She said: ‘I was 16. And I was with a girlfriend of mine in a restaurant underneath the radio station KFWB. There was a whole bunch of record people sitting at the tables and I wasn’t paying any attention, I was talking to my friend.’
‘Then I heard people say “Hey Son, come sit here.” So I turned around and, I swear to God, it was like when Tony and Maria saw each other at the dance.’
The singer went on to recall that he was ‘so cool’ and she ended up going out dancing with him on the night they first met.
She said: ‘He came up and one of the guys who was a promotion man was sitting next to us. They started talking and they made arrangements to go out dancing that night, so the four of us went out dancing.’
The Grammy Award-winning songwriter insisted that the pair ‘just danced’ that night.
The pair married in 1964 went on to welcome a child named Chaz, 54, in March of 1969.
Cher eventually divorced Sonny, who died at the age of 62 in 1998 as a result of injuries sustained in a ski accident in 1975.
