Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky have celebrated their love for one another — both publicly and in private — since revealing their relationship in 2019.
Two months after the pair were seen spending New Year’s Eve together in December 2019, Us Weekly exclusively confirmed that Polansky attended Gaga’s Super Bowl performance in February 2020.

The duo spent a lot of time together in quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic in spring 2020.
After Polansky was seen supporting the star during her performance at Joe Biden‘s presidential inauguration in January 2021, a source exclusively shared with Us that he “brings real stability to her life.” The pair confirmed their engagement three years later in summer 2024.

Our relationship is probably a lot like everyone else’s. We just have to figure out how to do some of it in public. That makes it even more important for us to have strong friendships and close family relationships. We find normalcy where we can.”

She gushed, “I’m forever grateful for how much you love and fight for me. You work so so hard with me from dawn till dusk everyday living the music, performances, and plans with your blood sweat and tears — to see it through every step of the way this year I am the luckiest girl alive.
