Lady Gaga Is Still Going Strong With Michael Polansky — They Quietly Got Engaged!

Although singer Lady Gaga's previous two engagements sadly didn't work out, news broke in July 2024 that Gaga had was the proud fiancée of tech investor Michael Polansky, whom she had been dating for several years.

So, who is Lady Gaga's fiancé, and who else has she dated in recent years?

On New Year's Eve in 2019, Lady Gaga was spotted holding hands with a mystery man she later shared a midnight smooch with. Us Weekly identified her new beau as Harvard University graduate and entrepreneur Michael Polansky. According to his LinkedIn page, he graduated from Harvard in 2006 with a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science.

In 2016 Michael co-founded the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy (where he's also a board membr), followed by Avos Capital Management in 2021 and Outer Biosciences in 2022. He's also founder and managing partner at Hawktail, and a special adviser for Sean Parker Family Office, for which he previously served as CEO from 2009 to 2023.

But in his busy schedule, he clearly makes time for Lady Gaga.

In early 2020, Gaga made their relationship Instagram-official. On Feb. 3, she posted a photo cuddling with the CEO, captioning it: "We had so much fun in Miami. Love to all my little monsters and fans, you’re the best!"

In a 2021 interview with Vanity Fair, Lady Gaga made a rare comment about her relationship. Since 2020, she's stopped posting photos of Michael, leading some fans to believe that they broke up. However, her Vanity Fair interview hinted that was not the case: "My dogs and the man that I love are my whole life."

In a TikTok video that made the rounds in late July 2024, Gaga could be talking to French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris. In the clip, Gaga is heard introducing Michael to the prime minister, referring to him as "my fiancé." A source then told People that Gaga and Michael had actually been secretly engaged for "several months" by that point, even before Gaga's birthday in March.

"They’re great together," the source told the mag. "He’s excited and supportive of her career. He can’t stand being in the spotlight, but lets her shine. He has his own business priorities that she’s supportive of."

Before publicly stepping out with Michael, Lady Gaga was with audio engineer Dan Horton for three months. They were originally seen at dinner in Studio City, kissing and flirting. They met while working together in 2018, and started dating a few months after Lady Gaga called off her engagement. 

“They have been working on new music, have spent hours of work time together and became really close," a source told Entertainment Tonight shortly after their relationship was confirmed. "They’re working very closely together at a home studio in Hollywood, and sparks just started flying ...They seem like a pretty good match.”

But apparently, the two just weren't meant to be. Us Weekly reported on their split, revealing that it was Dan's immaturity that led to their breakup.

“Gaga does want to date again,” the source told the outlet. “Dan was not mature enough for her.”

Lady Gaga's second engagement was to Christian Carino in 2018. She's always kept the details of her love life pretty private, so the crowd was shocked when she announced the engagement in her speech, saying she'd like to thank "her fiancé, Christian."

The news was revealed at Elle's 25th annual Women in Hollywood in October 2018. Rumors of their engagement had been flying since the previous August when she was first spotted with a ring on *that* finger.

But their love story didn't last much longer, as their split was confirmed when Lady Gaga attended the Grammy's in 2019 without the talent agent — and without her engagement ring. A source told People they had called off their engagement "a bit ago," saying, “It just didn’t work out. Relationships sometimes end."

Before being engaged to Christian, Lady Gaga was engaged to actor Taylor Kinney. They began dating in 2011 and got engaged in 2015, but broke off the engagement in 2016. Prior to that, Gaga dated musician Lüc Carl and fashion designer Matthew "Dada" Williams.
