After revealing her fiancé Michael Polansky helped influence her 2025 album Mayhem, fans have become intrigued by Lady Gaga's future husband.
After going public with their relationship at the 2020 Super Bowl, the pair went Instagram official a few days later when Gaga posted a photo with the caption reading: “We had so much fun in Miami. Love to all my little monsters and fans, you’re the best!”
Then in September 2024, Vogue published an interview where the ‘Poker Face’ singer confirmed she and Michael had got engaged earlier in the year in April. “The missing piece in my life was having real love,” Gaga told the magazine at the time.
So while Lady Gaga and Michael have been together for around five years, we still have so much to learn about Polansky from his age, job, family and how he and Gaga met.

Speculation surrounded Lady Gaga and Michael throughout 2019. However, it wasn’t until the end of the year going into 2020 that the pair were spotted kissing at a New Year's Eve party in Las Vegas.
In her interview with Vogue, Gaga revealed to readers her mother was the reason the pair met in the first place.
“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?” she told the magazine.
