When Cher parted ways with Bono, she quickly developed a relationship with music mogul David Geffen. In
The Operator, Geffen's biographer Tom King described it as “
Geffen’s first fully functional heterosexual relationship.” (Geffen, who is openly gay, now regularly ranks in
Out magazine’s list of the
50 most powerful gay men and women.) King also quotes Cher as saying, “I was the first person to share his bed and to share his life. People don’t believe that, or they don’t want to believe it, or they don’t understand how it could be. But we were really crazy about each other.”
