Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky: The Love Story Behind Their Engagement
A Proposal Revealed in Vogue
After years of privacy, Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky have finally shared the news of their engagement, creating a buzz among fans. Appearing on the October cover of Vogue, Gaga announced that Polansky, her partner of five years, proposed back in April during an unforgettable rock-climbing trip. Speculation about their engagement began in July after a TikTok video featuring Gaga and French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal went viral. In the clip, Gaga seemingly referred to Polansky as her fiancé, sending her dedicated fan base, the Little Monsters, into an excited frenzy.
Meet Michael Polansky
While Lady Gaga has long been in the spotlight, Michael Polansky has remained relatively private. As revealed in Vogue, Polansky is no stranger to success—he serves as the CEO of The Parker Group, managing the philanthropic and business initiatives of tech mogul Sean Parker. A Harvard graduate with a degree in applied mathematics and computer science, Polansky studied at the university around the same time as Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. The two met through Gaga’s mother, Cynthia Germanotta, who connected with Polansky in 2019 through shared philanthropic work. Later, at a birthday party for Parker, Gaga and Polansky spent hours talking, and Polansky was immediately taken by her warmth and genuine curiosity about his background.
A Relationship Built on Love and Respect
Their first public appearance as a couple was at the 2020 Super Bowl in Miami. Gaga later shared their first official photo together on Instagram, captioning it with love for her fans and her “little monsters.” The relationship deepened when they spent lockdown together at her Malibu home during the pandemic. Gaga told Vogue that the lockdown period gave her a rare opportunity to shift focus from her career and fully invest in building a meaningful relationship with Polansky. Polansky, in turn, embraced the “weird kind of normalcy” their time together allowed, giving them both a break from the public eye and a chance to connect on a deeper level.
As Gaga’s journey with Polansky continues, fans around the world are thrilled to witness the couple’s love story unfold. This engagement is not only a new chapter in Gaga’s life but a testament to a love built on mutual support and respect.
