Only a “few men” have missed the opportunity so far Cher – and she still remembers their names.

During her Wednesday November 20 performance at The Howard Stern ShowCher, 78, was asked if men expect “fantastic sex” from her.

“Yes, and they get it,” Cher replied confidently, adding that she is aware of their enthusiasm. “You can tell by the reaction.”

Howard Stern then asked, “Who would ever leave you?” to which Cher had a simple answer.

There is only one goddess of pop – and she only needs one name: Cher. The legendary singer (born Cherilyn Sarkisian) is more than five decades into her mega-successful career, which has spanned the worlds of music, TV, film and fashion. She is just one Tony Award away from being an EGOT winner, with a (…)

“There are very few men,” she joked. “Look, I was madly in love with it Val Kilmer and he left… because sometimes you’re only meant to stay with someone for so long. Val was very young.’

Cher and Kilmer, who are thirteen years apart in age, were together from 1982 to 1984. They met at one of Cher’s birthday parties.

“Val didn’t want to shout ‘Cher’ and I didn’t want to shout ‘Val,’” Cher recalled People in 2021. “We also called ourselves Valus Maximus and Cherus Reprimandus. It was just kind of who I was in the household. Of course he was Maximus, come on.’

She added at the time: “We became friends because we laughed about the same things all the time,” she said. “He slept over and it was just a friendship (at first). That took a long time. Well, I don’t think it’s really long.”

After their breakup, Cher and the Top pistol star, now 64, remained friendly, and the pop icon even invited Kilmer to live in her guest house as he battled throat cancer in 2015.

“One night I suddenly woke up and vomited blood that covered the bed like a scene The godfather. I immediately prayed and then called 911. I then alerted my hostess. Cher stepped in and resigned,” Kilmer recalled in his 2020 memoir: I’m your Huckleberry. “And yet, even in my serious condition, I saw her scanning the paramedic, who was a gorgeous Gregory Peck. Only in Hollywood, right?”

He continued, “Despite being covered in blood, I caught her eye and made my eyebrows move like Groucho Marx. Hubba hubba. Cher was embarrassed when she was picked up, but couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the brutality. Here we were, joking about beauty and desire, while I looked like a stuntman from Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs and, yes, while my life seemed to be in mortal danger. We laughed out loud before they finished taking my vitals and gagged me with an oxygen mask.

Cher has been married twice, first to Son Bono from 1964 to 1969 and later Greg Allman from 1975 to 1979. She shared son Chaz, 55, with Bono, who died in 1998, and son Elijah, 48, with Allman, who died in 2017. Cher is now dating Alexander “AE” Edwards.
