How Lady Gaga Met The Love Of Her Life Michael Polansky

Sometimes love shows up when you least expect it and for Lady Gaga, it came courtesy of an unexpected cupid: her mom. The Joker: Folie a Deux star recently spilled the tea on who was behind her whirlwind romance with fiance Michael Polansky and it was not a celebrity pal or Hollywood insider. It was none other than her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, who had a hunch four years ago that she had found the perfect match for her daughter. “My mom, she said, ‘I just met your husband,’” Gaga recalled during a recent interview. “And I was like, ‘I’m not ready to meet my husband,” she added.

While in conversation with Access Hollywood, the actress-singer revealed that at the time, she was understandably cautious. Having previously been engaged to Christian Carino and Taylor Kinney, she wasn’t exactly rushing. After giving it some thought, Gaga decided to take her mom’s advice and give love another shot. That decision led her to meet Polansky, a businessman who, among his many accomplishments, co-founded the Parker Foundation with Napster co-creator Sean Parker.

“He was at a birthday party at Sean Parker’s house,” Gaga explained. “I went to the party and I met him, and he was just the most amazing man I’d ever met. We talked for, like, three hours, and then I couldn’t find him, but then he called me,” she added.

Gaga couldn’t be more thankful for her mom’s matchmaking skills. “I’m really grateful for my mom’s advice. You don’t always take your mom’s advice, but mom did good!”,” she said.

After that meeting, Gaga and Polansky kept their romance quiet for a few months before debuting their relationship in a very public way. They packed on the PDA at a New Year’s Eve party in Las Vegas to ring in 2020, and not long after, Gaga confirmed their romance on Instagram. The following year, she opened up more about her personal life in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, saying, “My dogs and the man that I love are my whole life.”

Rumours of an engagement first started swirling in April when Gaga was spotted in Los Angeles sporting a massive diamond ring on her left hand.

Though she kept quiet at the time, the rumors were confirmed in July, when she introduced Polansky as her “fiance” while attending the 2024 Paris Olympics.
