Lady Gaga and Fiancé Michael Polansky Share How They Maintain 'Normalcy' Despite the Spotlight
Lady Gaga and her fiancé, Michael Polansky, are dedicated to maintaining a sense of normalcy in their relationship despite being in the public eye. As featured in ELLE's February issue, the couple discussed their approach to privacy and groundedness amidst constant media attention. This is prepared by SSP.
Polansky admitted that the most challenging aspect of their relationship is the lack of privacy. He expressed admiration for Gaga's — real name Stefani Germanotta — comfort with their public lifestyle and her patience with him. According to Polansky, their relationship resembles many others, but they must adapt some elements to public life, underscoring the importance of strong friendships and family ties. They carve out normalcy by engaging in simple, comforting activities such as making pasta, roasting food, and enjoying meals with Polansky’s mother, who lives nearby. Gaga finds these moments as poetically fulfilling as her performances.
The couple commenced their relationship publicly on Instagram after the 2020 Super Bowl and revealed their engagement privately in early 2024, making their red carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival that September. A source mentioned Polansky's excitement and support for Gaga's career while thriving in his own field, where Gaga is also supportive.
In the ELLE interview, the couple shared that Polansky contributed to writing seven songs from Gaga’s upcoming album "Mayhem." He enjoyed being part of the creative process, often working with his laptop at the studio near their residence. Early in their courtship, Polansky once told Gaga, "You are a special human being when the cameras aren't on you," which touched her deeply. In a 2024 interview with PEOPLE, Gaga beamed about her love for Polansky, emphasizing him as her best friend and partner.
