Cher’s famous relationships are almost as iconic as her career in the entertainment industry, and both topics are covered at length in her just-released book, “Cher: The Memoir, Part One.” But there is one man she “would have, could have, should have” taken a chance on and didn’t.

During a conversation about his new book with friend and former NBC News correspondent Harry Smith On Nov. 20 at Temple Emanu-El in New York, Cher answered a question that Smith threw out there “just for fun.”

“Are there men in your life,” Smith began, “was there ever a man, and this is not in the book—this is just for fun—a man that you said, ‘Would have, could have, should’ have?”

The audience booed and the singer replied “Michael McDonald.”

“I would have gone out with him for his voice,” she continued. “If he would just sing to me, I would just love it.”

Cher Also remembers the Doobie Brothers musician was once on the road with her and she played backing vocals just to be on the same stage with him.

“Why is it, do you think, that men always fall in love with you?” Smith asked.

“How can you not?” someone in the audience said.

“Look at her!” shouted another.

Cher was married to Sonny Bono until the two divorced in 1975, and she tied the knot with Gregg Allman days after her first divorce was finalized. The two also had their fair share of problems, including Allman’s battle with addiction, and divorced a few years after their wedding. She also dated music executive David Geffen and Kiss rocker Gene Simmons. She reflects on all relationships in her memoir.

More recently, she has been linked to music director Alexander “AE” Edwards.

In response to Smith’s question, Cher was a little shy.

“Should I just say all this? It sounds like—” she began, “because I’m a really good girlfriend and I learned how to do this.”

The 78-year-old also described himself as “really funny” and “cute”.

“I’m monogamous,” she added. “And I know that if I look at a man while I’m with my boyfriend, it’s over, because I don’t look at men. I don’t see men. If I’m with someone that I love, when I see a boy it’s like, ‘OK, bye!’ But no, I’m a really good girlfriend.”

That habit is one that was instilled in Cher early on, as detailed in her memoir, when she writes several times about Bono not allowing her to interact with other men. In one instance, she recalled burning her tennis clothes after finding out from a friend that she went to a party after one of her tennis lessons and was seen talking to some men.

“I was so pissed off about it,” Cher said while telling the story to Smith.

While grappling with the decision to leave Bono, Cher called friend Lucille Ballwho divorced her famous husband and television partner, Desi Arnaz, for advice.

In her book, Cher wrote, “I told her, ‘Lucy, I want to leave Sonny and you’re the only one I know who’s ever been in the same situation. What am I going to do?'”

The singer said Ball responded, “F— him, you’re the one with the talent.”

Cher also shared another fun tidbit with fans during her book talk about Ball.

“I want to tell you something that’s really embarrassing, though,” the “Believe” singer told Smith.

She explained that because she has dyslexia, she does not know her address or phone number.

“If people want to find me, they will,” she said.

“I have my cell phone. If I want to know what my phone number is, I just click on ‘Lucille Ball’. That’s my name,” she revealed.

“It’s not in the book,” Smith said. “It’s good stuff.”
