Lady Gaga and her fiancé, Michael Polansky, are opening up about their four-year romance after making their red carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival. The couple is sharing more than ever before about their relationship, with Gaga expressing her happiness in a candid interview for Vogue’s upcoming issue, which hits stands on September 24th. Gaga reveals how special it feels to be valued by someone, even amidst the hustle and bustle of public life, saying, “It feels really nice to have someone value you while there is 85,000 people watching, or the dogs.”

Their love story began in a more intimate setting, with a three-hour party conversation that led to a romance that has now lasted four years. Their relationship reached a significant milestone in April when Michael proposed after a rock climbing date. The couple’s journey together traces back to 2019 when Michael first met Gaga’s mother. Gaga fondly recalls her mom’s prediction at the time, saying, “I think I just met your husband,” a moment that has since felt like a dream come true for the couple.

Gaga and Michael went Instagram official in 2020, with Gaga referencing her hit song “Stupid Love” in the caption. At that time, she expressed how this relationship was different from her past, revealing that the missing piece in her life was real love. She emphasizes that Michael is with her for no other reason than the fact that they are right for each other, adding, “Just one person believes in you and it can change everything.” Their relationship has certainly transformed both of their lives, and they feel in sync, with their love story blossoming during the pandemic while living together.

For Gaga, being on the same page as her partner is essential to keeping a strong family dynamic. This sentiment is echoed by Michael, who speaks warmly of Gaga in her Vogue profile. He shares that one of the qualities he loves most about her is her passion for creating. He notes that Gaga is happiest when she is immersed in her work, which aligns with her ongoing projects, such as her portrayal of Harley Quinn in the upcoming Joker sequel.

Their relationship made its public debut at the Joker: Folie à Deux premiere, where Gaga was seen checking in with a nervous Michael, asking if he was okay. Despite the public scrutiny, Gaga feels grateful to have Michael by her side, especially after reflecting on her previous engagements with Taylor Kinney and Christian Carino. Gaga shares that before meeting Michael, she believed she might have to face life on her own. But now, she joyfully says, “I don’t have to do this alone anymore,” expressing a newfound sense of happiness and fulfillment in their shared journey.

This loving couple, deeply in sync with each other, continues to grow both personally and professionally, and their unwavering support for one another is evident to fans and loved ones alike.
