Lady Gaga was spotted wearing a dazzling diamond engagement ring while attending the Venice Film Festival in Italy with tech entrepreneur Michael Polansky.
The couple made a stunning appearance on September 2 at the premiere of Lady Gaga’s new film, Joker: Folie à Deux. The singer wore a chic polka dot dress and sunglasses, while Polansky opted for an all-black ensemble. Notably, Lady Gaga showcased a diamond ring on her ring finger for the first time in public, reportedly worth $578,000.
Secret Engagement
It is believed that Michael Polansky proposed to Lady Gaga on her March 28 birthday. The pop icon had kept the engagement under wraps and avoided wearing the ring to stay out of the spotlight. The couple had shared the exciting news with close family and friends for some time and are planning to get married. Lady Gaga first referred to Polansky as her “fiancé” during a conversation with French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal at the Paris Olympics in August.
Love Story
The couple reportedly met at a birthday party for tech billionaire Sean Parker in December 2019. Although paparazzi captured the pair spending time together on New Year’s Eve 2020, Polansky’s identity remained a mystery until later. They officially went public with their relationship in February 2020 and quarantined together during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Polansky has been by Lady Gaga’s side at numerous high-profile events, including the 2022 BAFTAs and Grammys. He’s also supported her in musical and charity endeavors. During an interview promoting her Morning Joe concert, Gaga referred to Polansky as “the love of my life.”
