Pop icon Lady Gaga appears to have casually confirmed her engagement to long-time boyfriend Michael Polansky. The revelation came during a chance encounter with French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal at an Olympic swimming competition on Sunday.
Lady Gaga, who was in Paris to perform at the Olympics Opening Ceremony, introduced Polansky as “my fiancé” to the Prime Minister, as captured in a video posted to Attal’s official TikTok page. This unexpected announcement has set social media abuzz with speculation about the couple’s relationship status.
The Oscar-winning artist and Polansky, a tech entrepreneur, have been dating for four years, having first gone public with their romance on Instagram during Super Bowl weekend in 2020. Throughout their relationship, the couple has maintained a notably low profile, with Lady Gaga only occasionally sharing glimpses of their life together on social media.
In a rare public acknowledgment of their relationship, Lady Gaga once wrote on Instagram about a lavish birthday gift from Polansky, stating, “When your bf sends you all the flowers in Rome for your birthday. I love you honey. I can’t wait to be home with you and our dogs, that’s all I need.” She has also previously alluded to Polansky in a Hollywood Reporter interview, saying, “My dogs and the man that I love are my whole life.”
This potential engagement news comes at a high point in Lady Gaga’s career, as she continues to balance her music with acting and high-profile performances like the Olympics Opening Ceremony. The timing of this revelation, whether intentional or not, has added a personal touch to her professional appearance at the global sporting event.
As of now, representatives for Lady Gaga have not responded to requests for comment on the engagement rumors. Fans and media alike are eagerly awaiting official confirmation or further details about the couple’s relationship status.
This development marks a significant moment for Lady Gaga, known for keeping her personal life relatively private despite her public persona. If confirmed, it would be the star’s first engagement since her previous relationship with talent agent Christian Carino ended in 2019.
As the 2024 Paris Olympics continue, attention will undoubtedly be split between the sporting events and this unexpected celebrity news. Lady Gaga’s potential engagement adds a touch of romance to the global celebration of athleticism and international unity.
