Lady Gaga Details Michael Polansky's Sweet Proposal, Shares Wedding Plans
View Date:2024-12-23 19:19:20
Lady Gaga’s fiancé Michael Polansky knows she likes to rock out.
Two months after confirming her engagement at the Paris Olympics, the Joker: Folie à Deux star is more than happy to gush about her recent proposal and plans for an upcoming wedding.
“He proposed to me right after my birthday, so my birthday passed and I was like, ‘Oh, I thought he was going to propose,’” Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, recalled on Jimmy Kimmel Live Oct. 1. “We went on a trip together, and we went rock climbing and we’ve been rock climbing before, which was super fun.”
When host Jimmy Kimmel asked if Gaga regularly climbed rocks, the “Applause” singer replied, “I do now. I would do anything for love.”
As for what the fashion-forward star was wearing during the milestone moment, she shared, “I dress for safety and comfort because you’ve got to get to the top and you’ve got to go back down.”
The 38-year-old detailed the logistics of the proposal, including the sweet question her fiancé asked her before officially pulling out the ring.
“We climbed to the top, we looked around, took so photos. And then went back down and we were just walking back to the room,” she explained. “And he actually—it was very Michael—he asked me if he could ask me. He wanted to know if it was okay to propose before he proposed. And I was like, ‘Yes, it’s so okay.’”
When Kimmel noted he would have proposed at the top of the rock, Gaga replied, “I think it was smart. It was safe. He had the ring in his backpack, so it was super cute.”
She added that Polansky also skipped the traditional step of getting down on one knee when he asked her to marry him.
“He didn’t, but I’m a modern lady,” the Oscar winner noted. “I like what he did.”
As for the big day, Gaga said that the couple are “not exactly sure yet” what the plan to do.
“We actually talk a lot of about just going to a courthouse just the two of us and just ordering Chinese food,” she said. “But knowing me, also it could become a circus with unicorns.”
For more on the couple's romance, read on.
Following her 2019 split from boyfriend Christian Carino, Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky were spotted sharing a kiss on New Year's Day in January 2020.
Gaga made her new romance social media official in February 2020, sharing a photo of her sitting on Michael's lap at the Super Bowl on Instagram with the caption, "We had so much fun in Miami. Love to all my little monsters and fans, you're the best!"
Despite keeping a low profile since the start of their relationship, Gaga has let her love for Michael, an entrepreneur and former CEO of the San Francisco-based Parker Group, shine through over the years, sharing a photo of the two in March 2020 with the caption, "I've got a STUPID love."
The Oscar winner also called Michael "the love of my life" during an April 2020 interview with MSNBC's Morning Joe.
And in March 2021, he surprised her with a massive flower arrangement for her 35th birthday, prompting Gaga to share on Instagram, "I love you honey. I can't wait to be home with you and our dogs, that's all I need."
Also in 2021, following the February attack on her French bulldogs and dog walker Ryan Fischer, the "Born This Way" singer made a rare comment about her and Michael's life together, telling The Hollywood Reporter, "My dogs and the man that I love are my whole life."
Rumors of an engagement between Lady Gaga and Michael first started swirling in April 2024 when Gaga stepped out wearing a massive diamond ring on that finger. But at the time, the duo were keeping tight-lipped on the rumors.
Days after Gaga kicked off the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, performing Zizi Jeanmaire's "Mon Truc En Plumes" at the opening ceremonies, she finally confirmed the engagement, introducing him as her "fiancé" during a conversation with French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal July 28.
The two made their red carpet debut as a couple at the premiere of Joker: Folie à Deux at the Venice Film Festival Sept. 4, 2024.
Michael joined Gaga at the premiere of Joker: Folie à Deux in London later in September 2024.
The singer said on the Graham Norton Show that the two had actually gotten engaged on April Fools' Day.
"Actually, I thought he was joking and he was not," Gaga said. "But it was really nice."
