From Tom Cruise to Warren Beatty - the list of her ex-lovers is long and famous. It was always Cher who broke up with the men. With just one exception, a very traumatic one for her. She still mourns her former beau to this day!

When asked by the presenter "Who would have ever left you?", the "If I Could Turn Back Time" singer immediately had an answer ready: "I was head over heels in love with Val Kilmer - and he broke up with me!" 

The pop diva and the "Top Gun" star were a couple from 1982 to 1984. There was a 13-year age gap between the two - Val was 22 and Cher 35 when they met at a mutual friend's birthday party.

"There are men who aren't meant for anything longer"
Stern was stunned that Kilmer was the one who dumped Cher after two years: "Why? Surely he had fantastic sex with one of the most beautiful women in the world?" The 78-year-old still doesn't know for sure: "There are men who simply aren't meant for anything longer. And Val was also very young when we were dating!" 

"Relationship was a thriller and a comedy at the same time"
What she found so irresistible about Kilmer back then was his sense of humor and the fact that he respected her as a woman: "He was unlike any man I've ever known. He drove me to despair and hysterical fits of laughter. Being with him was both a thriller and a comedy - because he never did what others would have done."

Valmer later launched an impressive, decades-long Hollywood career and was considered a sex symbol, but in later years suffered from throat cancer, which he denied for a long time.

The two are still good friends today
In his memoir "I'm Your Huckleberry", Kilmer wrote: "Once Cher has captured your head and your heart, she stays there forever. For her true friends, her unwavering love and loyalty are a thing for the ages!" Cher also helped him beat cancer.

The favorite lover also still has a firm place in her heart: "I loved him and I still love him!"
