Cher is opening up about her whirlwind romance with KISS bassist Gene Simmons in her new memoir, “Cher: The Memoir, Part One.” The 78-year-old star reveals fresh insights into their relationship, which spanned from 1977 to 1979, describing their unique bond despite its unconventional nature.

The pair first crossed paths at a reception for President Gerald Ford, hosted by Neil Bogart, head of Cher’s record label. When introduced to Simmons, Cher humorously mistook him for British actress Jean Simmons. Yet, by the night’s end, she was captivated by his charm.

Their relationship started with memorable gestures. After Simmons drove Cher home, he returned the next day with KISS merchandise for her son, Chaz Bono.

During one of these calls, he surprised her by professing his love. “That’s when he blurted out that he loved me,” the iconic singer and actress writes. “We hadn’t even kissed. We’d only been out once before he left. What is it with these men?”
