Then, in July, the singer fueled the speculation when she apparently referred to her partner, Michael Polansky, as her “fiancé” during a conversation with French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
But now, in a new interview with Vogue, Gaga has pulled back the curtain on her and Michael’s romance for the first time — confirming that they are, in fact, engaged after he proposed to her in April following a day of rock climbing.
Gaga added: “My mom met him and she said to me: ‘I think I just met your husband,’ and I said: ‘I’m not ready to meet my husband!’ I could never have imagined that my mom found the most perfect person for me?”
Michael also revealed to the publication that almost immediately after he entered the party, somebody told him that Gaga was looking for him.
“We had this amazing chapter of a weird kind of normalcy,” Michael recalled. “That’s essential for any relationship to develop in a real way — taking walks, making coffee, hanging out with the dogs, reading books together.”
Discussing her decision to keep her relationship as private as possible, Gaga said: “His life and my life are very different. He’s a very private guy and he’s not with me for any other reason than that we are right for each other.”
