The pair were in The Floating City for the premiere of ‘Joker: Folie à Deux,’ where Lady Gaga plays Harley Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker. There, the star worked the red carpet in a spectacular black ensemble, which somehow did not manage to take the attention off the massive rock resting on her left hand.

Little monsters went wild: Lady Gaga low-key announced her engagement to her boyfriend of four years, Michael Polansky, but not in the typical social media post with a definitive confirmation. Still in Paris after a remarkable Olympics opening ceremony performance, the pop star dropped the hint in an interaction with French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal. In the candid video posted to TikTok on July 29 by the Prime Minister himself, Lady Gaga is heard introducing Polansky to Prime Minister Attal, calling the former her “fiancé.” The video has since garnered 1.1 million views.
Gaga confirmed the new phase of her long-term relationship just days after her high-profile Paris Olympics performance, which stirred up quite a buzz online. Fans were surprised to watch the singer and also ‘Gucci’ in a pre-recorded act due to the dangerous weather conditions that made live performances too risky.
The mishap, however, did not stop the icon to deliver a memorable spectacle for all her viewers.
Far from the same Hollywood industry of the pop star, Michael Polansky is a philanthropic Harvard graduate with a degree in applied mathematics and computer science and a prominent tech entrepreneur.
He is the executive director of The Parker Foundation, where he works alongside Facebook co-founder Sean Parker to drive positive change in global public health, life sciences, and civic engagement.
Dating a 13-time Grammy winner means stepping up your game, and it seems the entrepreneur did just that. Polansky’s Scorpio features combined with Gaga’s fierce Aries personality can only result in an intensely exciting relationship.
A source revealed to E! News that, after their relationship was made public, the couple’s differences are “actually a good thing for her” and noted, “She’s really into him!”
The House of Gucci star caught herself in a good romance with Polansky during the 2020 quarantine, a crucial period in every couple’s life. Back then, Gaga would often share sweet and cozy moments of them enjoying their time together, giving fans a sneak peek into their blossoming love story.
The two were first romantically linked in 2020 when they were photographed kissing at a New Year’s Eve party in Las Vegas.
After a weekend spent attending high-profile parties, Gaga hard launched Polansky on Instagram: “We had so much fun in Miami. Love to all my little monsters and fans, you’re the best!” Gaga wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of her and Polansky embracing on a yacht.
Since then, their relationship has been built on a shared passion for philanthropic work, with Polansky being a board member of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, and Gaga being outspoken about her support to mental health and wellness through her Born This Way Foundation. The artist was tested borderline positive for lupus in 2010.
Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky had been keeping their engagement under wraps for months before finally revealing it. The first hint came in April 2024 when Gaga was spotted with a stunning, sparky diamond ring on her left hand.
Gaga is known for keeping her personal life private, which often leaves her fans eagerly guessing. This exciting news is sure to thrill her loyal fanbase.
Gaga has never been married, but she has been engaged three times. She was first engaged to actor Chicago Fire star Taylor Kinney, whom she dated for five years before ending in 2016, then to her talent manager, Christian Carino, before calling it quits in February 2019.
Now, with Lady Gaga engaged to her Silicon Valley match and seemingly in her most fulfilling phase yet, everyone’s excited to see what’s next for the soon-to-be-married couple.
