Their relationship reportedly ended in 1984, but in 2021, rumors swirled they had decided to give their once-upon-a-time romance another go.
“[Val] and Cher secretly got back together, and their love is stronger than even before,” an insider said at the time. “Usually they just like being holed up at her place. They laugh a lot, and he’s still as exasperating as ever, but they’re wild for each other.”
“Cher loves Val — and always will — and thinks he’s brilliant and unlike any guy she’s ever known,” added the source.
However, Kilmer tragically passed away on April 1, 2025, from pneumonia. He was 65.
The next day, Cher took to X and penned a touching tribute to her former boyfriend.
“VALUS. We will miss u,” she wrote. “U were funny, crazy, pain in the a–, (and a) GREAT FRIEND.”
