When discussing Edwards himself, Cher said that he’s a special person and that he makes her life better. “I hate when people say people are special, but lots of people say I’m special, so I can say that he’s special," she said. "No matter what happens, I love being with him. 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.”
