Cher reveals bond with Tom Cruise over dyslexia, says nothing can be kept special in the age of Instagram

Singer and actress Cher, in a recent interview, said that her relationship with actor Tom Cruise began after they bonded over having dyslexia.

In a statement given to a leading international magazine, she reportedly said, "Then a bunch of people who were dyslexic was invited to the White House, and Tom and I are both dyslexic. We didn't go out till way later, but there definitely was a connection there."

While revealing that she is single at the moment, the 72-year-old singer said that she is on the lookout. "I'm still on the lookout. The problem I have with all the boyfriends lately is that I don't want to go any place with them because you can't keep a relationship going in this kind of goldfish bowl, where everything you do and every picture you have taken will be on Instagram. There's no way to keep something special."

Having known to hold a flame for many of her ex-lovers, saying about Val Kilmer, "when we kissed I thought my head would shoot right off my body", calling Gene Simmons, "the one I'm crazy about" and Rob Camilletti, a bagel baker 18 years her junior, "possibly the one true love of my life".
