During a brand new cover story interview for Vogue, Lady Gaga finally confirmed that, after some five years of dating, she was engaged to Michael Polansky.
Following a day of rock climbing, the entrepreneur popped the question, and about her fiancé, Gaga said:
“I had never met anyone like Michael. He’s so smart and so kind.” “And his life and my life are very different. He’s a very private guy and he’s not with me for any other reason than that we are right for each other. But I think what I want my fans to know is that I’m just, like, so happy. I’m healthy… he wasn’t afraid to truly hold my hand. And get to know me. On a very deep level.”
Born Stefani Germanotta, the superstar singer/songwriter/actress met Polansky in 2019 through her mother Cynthia, who runs her Born This Way Foundation.
“My mom met him and she said to me, ‘I think I just met your husband'”, ‘I’m not ready to meet my husband!’ I could never have imagined that my mom…found the most perfect person for me?” shared the multi-hyphenate.
The entertainer finally met the philanthropist at a party in December of 2019 and or three hours they had “the most amazing conversation.” For weeks after the party, the couple spoke regularly on the phone and went on their first date and “fell in love” just before the pandemic. Michael moved into her Malibu home for the lockdown and they lived there together for more than a year.
“It was really kind of special,” she recalled of that time. “I’d been so focused on my career since I was a teenager. And the gift of that time was that I got to completely focus on my relationship. I met this totally supportive, loving human being who wanted to get to know me – outside of Lady Gaga.”
Now 38, Gaga was previously engaged to actor Taylor Kinney and talent agent Christian Carino, and reflecting on those failed relationships, she told the magazine, “I kind of thought I was going to have to do this all by myself – forever. And that was really scary. Because it’s a big life. And I don’t think anyone really knows what it feels like unless you’re in it. And I don’t have to do this alone anymore.”
