We Turn Back Time to See Birthday Girl Cher's Former Flames

We want to wish singer, actress, and all-around-legend Cher a happy birthday today! To celebrate her 65-year-long life, we're looking back at her former loves, who are just as eccentric as her taste in clothing and big hair. From rock stars to robbing the cradle, she's been involved with A-list actors, a gay man, and a "bagel boy." See them all now, and sing along with us, "If I could turn baaaack time . . ."
