Lady Gaga Is Engaged—and She Revealed the News in the Most Un-Gaga Way Possible

Read my poker face lips: Lady Gaga is engaged to be married.

Early last month, rumors of a different kind had been swirling that the “Born This Way” singer, 38, might be pregnant, with reports surfacing after she made an appearance at her sister Natali Germanotta’s wedding. However, she shut those rumors down fast.

Fast forward to the Paris Olympics, and it seems Gaga has let the cat out of the bag that she's engaged to be married—and she did it in a very un-Gaga-like way.

In a TikTok video posted by French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, Gaga can be heard introducing longtime boyfriend, Michael Polansky, 46, as "my fiancé."

Per People and E! News, the singer's reps have not responded when asked for comment.

Perhaps what I find most striking about the reveal is that the singer said it so casually and nonchalantly (clearly she used the word "fiancé" in a very crowded place where cameras were everywhere). Gaga, though sometimes private about bigger news, is normally known for doing the most—just see her Paris Olympics performance. And yet this news broke after she did the least.

Gaga previously had the gossip mill working overtime earlier this year when she was spotted in West Hollywood, California, with a giant diamond ring on that finger. This led fans to believe that she was already engaged (or possibly even married).

Gaga and Polansky confirmed their relationship back in February 2020, when the A Star Is Born alum shared a pic of herself and her man spending Super Bowl weekend together on Instagram. In the caption, she wrote, “We had so much fun in Miami. Love to all my little monsters and fans, you're the best! [red heart emoji].”

As for if the couple will expand their soon-to-be family of two even more in the future, Lady Gaga’s previously spoken about wanting to start a family. She told InStyle, “I will say I am very excited to have kids. I look forward to being a mom. Isn't it incredible what we can do? We can hold a human inside and grow it. Then it comes out, and it's our job to keep it alive. It's so funny — everyone works out of my house every day. When they come in, I always say, ‘Welcome to the Womb!’”

Congratulations to Mother Monster!
