The Love Life of the Legendary Cher

#6: David Geffen, The End

Their romance slowly faded as their lives moved in different directions. Cher’s career began to soar again, while Geffen’s focus shifted toward his business empire. Though the breakup wasn’t dramatic, it marked another turning point—Cher no longer needed someone to guide her path.

They remained on good terms, and Cher often spoke fondly of him in later years. When Geffen publicly came out as gay, she expressed nothing but respect. Their relationship, though short-lived, represented a moment of calm between two storms in her life—and a step toward independence.
