Lady Gaga has been romancing her third fiancé Michael Polansky as far back as 2019 when they first met at a charity event, but he’s never spoken publicly about her or their relationship until now.
‘Accepting that you won’t have the privacy others might have was the hardest part. But Stefani’s comfort with it and patience with me has been amazing,’ the 41-year-old venture capitalist said, using Gaga’s birth name, in her ELLE cover story on Tuesday.
‘Our relationship is probably a lot like everyone else’s. We just have to figure out how to do some of it in public. That makes it even more important for us to have strong friendships and close family relationships. We find normalcy where we can.’
Michael said one of the most incredible parts of this chapter in his life is how he gets to live with and coexist alongside someone making art and being creative in ways that very few people get to experience.
‘I think of myself as really lucky to have been there for it,’ Polansky – who proposed on April 1 after a rock-climbing excursion – gushed.
The 38-year-old pop diva said when they first met, the Outer Biosciences co-founder used to say: ‘You are a special human being when the cameras aren’t on you. And I get to see that all the time.’

Gaga (last name Germanotta) even enlisted Michael to ‘help write seven songs’ off her eighth studio album Mayhem, which drops March 7.
‘This album was so much fun to watch her make,’ Polansky said.
‘She recorded it right down the street from our house, so we could easily walk back and forth from the studio. I spent a lot of time with her, bringing my laptop to work while she was there.
‘What surprised me most was how fast she is. I couldn’t believe how quickly a song would take shape. Within five minutes, 80 percent of the song would have come from nothing.’
The Harvard University grad has brought out an eerily wholesome side to the Disease singer, who now gushes about going on ‘three-person dates’ with his mother Ellen, who lives near them.
‘Snuggling with the dogs and cooking, talking about the day, and we usually, like, also sometimes invite his mom,’ Gaga confessed.
‘He is romantic but he’s just, like, really good at planning. You know, when I plan a date night it’s more at home, so he plans the going out and I plan staying home.’
The Oscar-winning songwriter envisions a quiet future with ‘me and Michael and our kids.’
‘Oh, I’m ready,’ Gaga said of motherhood.

‘Sometimes I worry people will say I’m boring these days, but honestly, thank God I’m boring. Thank God! Because I was living on the edge. I don’t know what was going to happen to me living that way.
‘So the fact that I have these answers, on the one hand, I’m like, “Oh man, snooze fest!” But actually, I’m so grateful. Because I found a sense of happiness and joy that is true to me.’
The 13-time Grammy winner added: ‘I’d actually like things to be less about me. I really want to be there for people around me as much as I can.’
Last October, Gaga admitted on Jimmy Kimmel Live that she hadn’t planned anything for their wedding yet: ‘We actually talk a lot about just going to a courthouse just the two of us and [then] ordering Chinese food. But also, knowing me, it could become like a circus with unicorns.’
The native New Yorker was previously engaged to her talent manager Christian Carino from 2017-2019 as well as her Yoü and I video hunk Taylor Kinney from 2015-2016.
And Polansky was previously in a seven-year relationship with New York Times senior staff editor Lindsay Crouse.

Gaga shrugged of the flop: ‘People just sometimes don’t like some things. It’s that simple. And I think to be an artist, you have to be willing for people to sometimes not like it. And you keep going even if something didn’t connect in the way that you intended’
