Lady Gaga has confirmed her engagement to Michael Polansky.

Gaga called him “smart” and “nice” and told Vogue that they were engaged after nearly five years of dating.

Gaga, who recently showed off her engagement ring at the Venice Film Festival, said: “I’ve never met anyone like Michael.”

The singer noted the differences in their lifestyles: “And his life and my life are very different. He’s a very private man and he’s not with me for any other reason than we’re a good fit for each other.”

“But I think I want my fans to know that I’m just, so happy. I’m healthy… he wasn’t afraid to really hold my hand. And get to know me. On a really deep level,” she said.

Gaga revealed that they first met in 2019 through her mother, Cynthia, who was convinced Polansky was the perfect match for her daughter.

“My mom met him and she said to me, ‘I think I just met your husband,’ and I said, ‘I’m not ready to meet my husband yet!’ I could never have imagined that my mom would… find the most perfect person for me?” she said.

Their relationship blossomed just before the pandemic, when Polansky moved in with Gaga in Malibu during the lockdown.

Reflecting on the time they spent together, “It was really special. I’d been so focused on my career since I was a teenager. And the gift of that time was that I was able to focus completely on my relationship. I met a totally supportive, loving person who wanted to get to know me — outside of Lady Gaga.”

Professionally, Gaga will star in Joker: Foil for Two which is scheduled for release in October. The film recently premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.
