"He's like nobody I've ever known," she told People in 2021, adding that the twosome were "madly in love” during their relationship.
"He was so young. Was he 22? What was I? I don't know. Thirty-something.
It was a bigger deal back then. The truth was if I hadn't gone out with younger men, I would have never had a date. Younger men weren't intimidated by older women.
But older men in my age category, they weren't having it.” In November 2024, Cher revealed on The Howard Stern Show that Kilmer was the only ex to break up with her and it was due to their 13-year age gap. She gushed that she was “madly in love” with the actor.

I wept. An angel..

If you ever have a chance to consensually ever so gently touch Ellen’s hair, it will be worth the look she’s gonna drop on you,” he wrote.
