Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky have been together since late 2019, after Gaga’s mother introduced them. They got engaged in April 2024 and are now planning to get married, though they haven’t set a date yet. With their busy schedules, their wedding could happen during or just after one of Lady Gaga’s tours. Polansky said they talk about it all the time, and even joked that they already feel married, so a ceremony wouldn’t change much.
The couple is also planning to start a family. Lady Gaga has been inspired by her godsons, Elton John and David Furnish’s children, and wants parenthood to feel natural and joyful. She said it’s important that her career and being a mother can coexist, without her having to separate her personal life from her art. Gaga added that being a mom is the thing she wants most and believes Polansky will be a wonderful father.
Gaga spoke about how important Polansky is to her. She explained that being with someone who loves her real self has made a big difference. She said it helped her figure out how to be herself with someone else. She shared that Polansky always calls her by her real name, Stefani, seeing her as a person rather than just a performer.
