Lady Gaga Makes Appearance With Boyfriend Michael Polansky After ‘Saturday Night Live’ Cameo

After making a brief cameo on Saturday Night Live, Lady Gaga was seen holding hands with her on-again-off-again boyfriend Michael Polansky as they headed to the show’s after party at L’Avenue with the rest of the cast. The pop star was wearing a leather jacket hung with white tassels, black skintight pants, and very tall platform vinyl heels with zippers up the side.

She had her hair slicked back into a tight bun and wore black sunglasses and a dark red lip. Lady Gaga had several pairs of silver earrings in her ears and was carrying a small black Celine purse on a long strap. Polansky wore a dark brown jacket over a black T-shirt, black jeans, and a pair of blue sneakers. The pair held hands as they walked past the cameras.

The musical artist and the tech mogul initially called things off after three years together, but they supposedly remained friends. It was rumored last month that they might be working things out after they were spotted together for the first time in over a year. The reason for their initial break up was reportedly that Gaga was ready for marriage and children, but the 45-year-old executive was not.

Polansky currently works for Napster founder Sean Parker’s Parker Group. He and Gaga made frequent appearances together during their relationship—at the Super Bowl, the BAFTAs, the Critics Choice Awards. Some fans are taking this public appearance as a sign that a romance has rekindled between them.

During SNL, Lady Gaga actually introduced the host and musical performer of the night, Bad Bunny. There were a few other surprise cameos that evening, including Mick Jagger and Pedro Pascal; Kendall Jenner was seen heading to the after party with her rapper boyfriend as well.

For one song, Bad Bunny did his first live performance of “Monaco” from his new album Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana.
