While speaking to PEOPLE in 2021, Cher looked back on her relationship with Val Kilmer, recalling the first time they met.
'I met him at a birthday party my friend was having for me. She said, 'I invited this guy and I think either you or my friend who's an editor will like him. We became friends because we laughed at the same things constantly. He would sleep over and it was just a friendship (at first). That took a long time. Well, I gueess not really a long time."
The singer added that their age gap of 13 years was a "bigger deal back then." The singer revealed that the two used to call each other "Sid" and "Ethel" and "Valus Maximus" and "Cherus Reprimandus" since they didn't want to yell each other's names out loud.
