Gaga and her boyfriend became Instagram official in February 2020 when the singer posted a picture of her on the entrepreneur’s lap.

She captioned the snap: “We had so much fun in Miami. Greetings to all my little monsters and fans, you are the best!”

Vogue also pointed out in a September 2024 cover story about Gaga that the couple had been together for almost five years.

Lady Gaga once called him “the love of her life”

Gaga referenced her boyfriend during an April 2020 appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” when she discussed the importance of mental health and its connection to her Born This Way Foundation.

“With the Born This Way Foundation, my mother Cynthia Germanotta and our co-founder Maya, who I love so much, they are working on something for mental health with the love of my life,” she said with a smile during Interview.

According to the organization’s official website, the Born This Way Foundation aims to “build a kinder, braver world” that supports the mental well-being of young people.

Michael Polansky’s ex once wrote an op-ed in the New York Times about him and Lady Gaga

In February 2020, Polansky’s ex Lindsay Crouse shocked the world when she wrote an op-ed for the New York Times about her ex’s new romance with Lady Gaga.

In the article, the journalist described her shocking reaction to learning that Polansky was now dating Gaga, after their seven-year relationship that “lasted all the way through college and then a few years longer.”

“How do you compare to Lady Gaga?” she asked her readers. “Instead of thinking, ‘Why not me?’ When I see them together I think, “That.” Was Me.'”

Crouse’s essay quickly went viral. Online, it received more than 3 million page views.

Michael Polansky is no stranger to PDA

She wrote: “Happy Valentine’s Day!! “Babe, do I have lipstick everywhere?” I love you!!! ❤️😘🎈.”

Then, a month later, she posted a sweet photo of herself wrapping her arms around Polansky as he looked adorably at her.

Gaga added that she wanted her fans to know, “That I’m just so happy.” I’m healthy. I feel like the last time they heard from me in that way was ‘Chromatica,’ and that album was about an absolutely terrible time for me with my mental health.”

“I was in a really dark place. Before that I fought for many years. But everything began to change. Because I had a real friend who saw why I was unhappy and why,” she continued. “And he wasn’t afraid to actually hold my hand. And get to know me. On a very deep level.”

Just a day before publishing their interview, Gaga and Polansky were dressed to the nines as they attended the premiere of “Joker: Folie à Deux” during the 81st Venice International Film Festival at the Sala Grande on September 4.

Lady Gaga describes how Michael Polansky proposed to her

On “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on October 1, the “Joker: Folie à Deux” actress shared the story behind her fiancé’s thoughtful proposal, revealing that she initially thought he would pop the question at that point.

“He proposed to me right after my birthday. So my birthday came around and I was like, ‘Eh, I thought maybe he was going to propose,'” she began, laughing.

Gaga explained that the couple went rock climbing during a trip together, which shocked host Jimmy Kimmel. He asked if she had always been a climber.

“I do now!” she said, before whispering to the studio audience: “I would do anything for love.”

The “Poker Face” singer continued, “He didn’t propose to me at the top. We climbed up, looked around, took a few photos and then went back down. And we just went back into the room and talked and he said, “Actually, it was very Michael to ask me if he could ask me.” He wanted to know if it was okay to propose before he did one made the request.”

Gaga said she replied, “Yes! It’s so okay!’”

When Kimmel gave her a hard time at the top of the mountain about Polansky not proposing, Gaga clapped back, saying, “I think that was smart!” It was safe, safe down there.”

“He had the ring in his backpack, so it was super cute. He got into his backpack and pulled it out,” she added, mimicking the motion of opening a backpack.

She noticed that her now fiancé didn’t get down on his knees, but that didn’t bother her as she described herself as a “modern woman.”
