Kevin Costner got close to Cher at the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary show on Sunday, just days after he was caught gawking at her on stage.

To Costner’s fans dismay, the 78-year-old singer’s boyfriend, Alexander Edwards, whom she’s been officially dating for about two years now, was sat on the other side of her during Sunday’s taping.

Another said: “SEATING KEVIN COSTNER NEXT TO CHER IS CRAZY???????????”
