Lady Gaga recently shared rare details about her engagement to fiancé Michael Polansky in a Vogue cover story. The Grammy winner's mother, Cynthia Germanotta, initially introduced the couple due to a philanthropic connection, predicting that Polansky could be Gaga's future husband. Despite Gaga's initial hesitation, the pair eventually met at a birthday party and engaged in a three-hour conversation, leading to a blossoming relationship.
Following weeks of phone conversations, Gaga and Polansky went on their first date, eventually falling in love and deciding to quarantine together in Malibu, California, during the pandemic. The singer expressed gratitude for the opportunity to focus on her relationship after years of career dedication, highlighting the importance of the time spent together.
Polansky echoed Gaga's sentiments, emphasizing the value of engaging in normal, everyday activities that fostered a genuine connection. The couple's engagement took place in April, with Polansky proposing after a day of rock climbing. Speculation about their engagement arose when Gaga was spotted wearing a significant diamond ring in West Hollywood.
During the Paris Olympics, Gaga publicly referred to Polansky as her fiancé, confirming the news that had been shared with close friends and family months prior. Despite their different lifestyles, Gaga emphasized that she and Polansky are well-suited for each other, citing his unwavering support and understanding during challenging times.
This marks Gaga's third engagement, having been previously engaged to actor Taylor Kinney and talent manager Christian Carino. The singer expressed gratitude for the positive changes in her life, attributing much of it to Polansky's genuine companionship and deep connection with her.
