Lady Gaga introduces Michael Polansky as her ‘fiancé’ at Olympics
Lady Gaga is caught in a good romance.
While in France for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the pop star introduced her partner, tech entrepreneur Michael Polansky, as her “fiancé” during a conversation with French Prime Minster Gabriel Attal.
As seen in a TikTok video shared by Attal on Sunday, the “Bad Romance” singer introduced her partner of at least four years to the French dignitary during a swim event.
USA TODAY has reached out to Gaga’s reps for comment.
Polansky, 46, and Gaga, 38, have been romantically linked publicly since New Year’s Eve 2019. She was previously engaged to actor Taylor Kinney in 2015, but the engagement was called off.

The singer was also previously engaged to talent agent Christian Carino. That engagement was called off as well, with the pair reportedly splitting in 2019.
Polansky is an entrepreneur and tech investor, and the couple sparked engagement rumors in April. The pair have been extremely private, though Gaga has referenced the relationship sparingly over the years.
“My dogs and the man that I love are my whole life,” she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2021.

The “Joker: Folie à Deux” actress has been in Paris for the Olympics. Mother Monster showed off her vocal chops en français during the Olympics opening ceremony on Friday, performing Zizi Jeanmaire’s “Mon Truc En Plumes.”
Dressed in House of Dior, Lady Gaga danced and played the piano along the Seine in a French-inspired set.
“Although I am not a French artist, I have always felt a very special connection with French people and singing French music,” Gaga posted on X after the performance. “I wanted nothing more than to create a performance that would warm the heart of France, celebrate French art and music, and on such a momentous occasion remind everyone of one of the most magical cities on earth — Paris.”

Gaga is also set to return with a new studio album for the first time since 2020’s “Chromatica.”
“I’m so deeply touched by French fans this week outside the hotel, I’m gonna come out and say goodbye tonight – with a few seconds of #LG7,” she wrote of her new album, in an Instagram story on Sunday.
Gaga was later seen outside, popping out of a sunroof with a laptop to play a snippet of a new song from the album, according to video shared by a fan. She then began fist-pumping to cheers from the onlooking crowd.
Earlier this month, the Academy Award and Grammy-winning multi-hyphenate updated fans on her music comeback.
“Just me in the studio—happy as ever making music,” she captioned the Instagram post, adding that she feels “so grateful, heart is peaceful. It’s like meditation. I can’t wait for you to hear what I’m working on.”
