Lady Gaga is in anything but a “Bad Romance” with her boyfriend, Michael Polansky. The 37-year-old singer confirmed her relationship with the 45-year-old tech entrepreneur in early 2020 and they’ve been going strong ever since. The lovebirds are occasionally spotted out together, like when they went to Katy Perry‘s “PLAY” Las Vegas residency in October 2023. The pair returned to Sin City for Super Bowl LVIII on February 11, 2024. The pair were seen holding hands at the big game as they watched.
Gaga is usually private about her love life, but she did briefly gush about him in a November 2021 interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “My dogs and the man that I love are my whole life,” she said.
So, who is Michael Polansky? It takes a special man to date the icon that is Lady Gaga. Interestingly enough, Michael is extremely successful, just like his girlfriend. Here’s everything you need to know about him.
