Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky confirmed their relationship in 2020, but the radio silence since has fans concerned.
Over the last two decades, Lady Gaga has delivered an assortment of musical masterpieces which have since been treasured in the hearts of many fans. Her first debut album The Fame broke records, selling over 18 million copies worldwide as of August 2019, best known for the smash hits Poker Face and Just Dance.
However, many super fans will have probably also noticed that the Bad Romance singer often includes at least one ballad in each of her albums. One of her most successful ballads — You and I — was an instantaneous rock hit, and fans who really know Gaga will of also noticed it is written about one of her ex-boyfriends, Luc Carl.
Since then, Gaga has been romantically connected with other men such as Taylor Kinney (who actually appeared in the You and I music video) and Christian Carino. Most recently she has become romantically involved with Michael Polansky, however, fans have been questioning if they are currently still together.
Michael Polansky and Lady Gaga first started dating in 2020, with the loved-up pair making it Instagram official by posting an adorable snap on a boat.
According to Cosmopolitan, the couple met back in 2019 at Facebook co-founders Sean Parker's birthday party. Since then, they were spotted together getting closer at both concert events and the pre-Super Bowl party, which continued to fuel rumors that the pair were indeed seeing each other romantically.
The pair would then go on to confirm their relationship via social media in 2020, confirming what many fans had been speculating over the past months.
Since romance has sparked between the pair, fans have noticed that Gaga seems really happy with her new beau. Sources from Elle magazine have reported that Michael likes to spoil Gaga, as well as wine and dine her, and due to Gaga's kind-hearted nature, fans are sure that these romantic gestures don't go unappreciated.
However, Michael seems to be very private and low-key on social media, keeping his circle small with only a few hundred followers. Having such a private relationship means it can sometimes be difficult for fans to navigate what's happening with the couple and whether in fact, they are still together?
Whilst many fans have been questioning whether Gaga and Michael Polansky are still together, they needn't worry. In a recent article from Elle, dated January 2022, sources reportedly claim that the two are still 'very much in love' and are 'still together and enjoying their relationship'.
The same source also states that despite being two years into the relationship, things are still 'pretty serious'. This news will probably come as a relief to many fans who may have thought that their relationship was on the rocks.
Even more recently in March 2022, the loved-up couple had been spotted together heading out for dinner in New York City. Last month Gaga and Michael were even snapped together going grocery shopping in Malibu.
It's safe to say that things are definitely still well and truly bubbling away between the two flames, despite recent doubts from fans. Hopefully, things can continue on an upwards trajectory for the couple.
Looking at Gaga's past relationships, we can see that she has also had other long-term boyfriends in the past. Her former relationship with American actor Taylor Kinney lasted a grand total of five years, so it came as a huge surprise to fans when they decided to break off their engagement.
Gaga has been dating her current flame, Michael Polansky for two years, and previously dated American actor Taylor Kinney for five years. However, neither of these relationships is actually the star's longest. So, just who is this mystery man that Gaga dated for so long? True Little Monsters may already know the answer.
All the way back in 2005 before her rise to fame, Gaga began dating Luc Carl. It was this romance that inspired her to write her hit song You and I, which was released in 2011 as part of the Born This Way album tracklist.
Since their romance sparked in 2005, the pair dated on and off for a total of six years. They split once and then rekindled their romance in 2010, just prior to the release of her third studio album. However, Gaga would later officially announce their split in May 2011, and despite the fact that things didn't work out, it seems this man will always have a special place in Gaga's heart.
For many fans, her strong sentiments towards Luc have been felt through much of her early music and the manner in which she has spoken about her former lover in interviews. In 2009, she told Rolling Stone “I've really never loved anyone like I loved him. Or like I love him".
It does seem like Michael may have changed that, but only time will tell!
