Singer Lady Gaga, 38, and her longtime partner, entrepreneur and tech investor Michael Polansky, are engaged, as Gaga revealed to French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
In a TikTok video posted by Attal on Sunday, July 28, Gaga can be heard referring to Polansky as “my fiancé” while they watched a swimming event together.
Gaga and Polansky were first seen together romantically in 2020 when they were photographed kissing at a New Year’s Eve party in Las Vegas.
A few weeks later, they publicly confirmed their relationship during a weekend filled with public displays of affection in Miami for the Super Bowl 2020. Gaga even shared a photo on Instagram of them cuddling on a yacht, captioning it, “We had so much fun in Miami.”

A source close to the 13-time Grammy winner later told People Magazine that the couple quarantined together at Gaga’s house during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought them closer.
In January 2021, Polansky accompanied Gaga to Washington, D.C., where she performed at President Joe Biden’s inauguration. A source told PEOPLE that Gaga was “happy” and “grateful” to have Polansky’s support, introducing him to people backstage as “my boyfriend.”
The couple has been seen together frequently over the years. In October 2023, after Gaga made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live, they were spotted holding hands at the cast afterparty.
