Let’s talk about Cher, a woman who doesn’t just live life but dominates it. This pop icon, who’s been dazzling us for decades, wears an elephant ring as a reminder of Kaavan, a 36-year-old bull elephant she recently helped rescue from a Pakistan zoo. And let me tell you, this ring is not your average piece of jewelry. It’s bold, flashy, and youthful — exactly like Cher herself. At 70-something, she’s proving that age is just a number and style knows no limits.
Cher’s Secret to Staying Vibrant
Cher isn’t one to follow the rules when it comes to aging. She refuses to "act her age," and that’s what keeps her shining brightly, both inside and out. In a December 2020 interview with The Guardian, Cher, now 74, revealed her secret: hard work. She trains five days a week with a personal trainer to maintain her strength and stamina. “There are 20-year-old girls who can’t do what I do,” she boasts confidently. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about feeling strong and capable. Cher’s dedication to her fitness routine is nothing short of inspiring.
Performing: The Heart of Cher’s Life
Cher’s fitness isn’t just for show; it’s for the stage. She wants to continue delivering unforgettable performances, filled with singing, dancing, and strutting her stuff. Even though live shows have been on hold, she’s eagerly waiting to get back to what she loves most. “I love standing on the stage and singing,” she says. Cher knows she has a special connection with her audience. “Once I’m on stage and I grab hold of them, I can bring the room together as one. If you’re dealing with heartbreak or sickness, for 90 minutes, I can make you forget it all.” That’s the magic of Cher.

Love and Legacy
Cher’s life isn’t just about the stage; it’s about love, too. She reflects fondly on her past relationships, particularly with Gregg Allman and Rob Camilletti, whom she considers the great loves of her life. “Rob was a rock,” she says. Despite her past heartbreaks, Cher hasn’t given up on finding love again. “I’m still on the lookout,” she jokes with that signature throaty laugh.
But time waits for no one, and Cher is keenly aware of this. Her mother, Georgia Holt, at 94, is showing signs of aging. “Now I start to see my grandmother in her,” Cher confides. “She’s still lively, but I see her getting older, and it makes me nervous. For both of us.”
Passion Projects That Keep Her Young
Instead of letting worries consume her, Cher throws herself into projects that ignite her passion and purpose. Her two-year campaign to rescue Kaavan from a substandard zoo has evolved into Freethewild.org, a charity dedicated to rescuing wild animals from poor conditions. “We’re working on a gorilla right now, and another elephant,” Cher shares enthusiastically. Alongside this, she runs Cher Cares, a charity aimed at aiding disadvantaged communities. “People are hurting in major ways, in my country and all over the world,” she says. “If a problem comes to you, and you can do something about it, you just must, you know?”
