Lady Gaga and Boyfriend Michael Polansky Had a Rare Sighting in Malibu Following Four-Year Anniversary

Popstar-turned-actress Lady Gaga and her longtime boyfriend Michael Polansky were photographed together in a rare public sighting, just a few days after they celebrated their four-year anniversary. On Monday January 8, the couple stepped out for a date in Malibu.

For the outing, Gaga kept it casual in a gray long-sleeve graphic t-shirt with slouchy, dark-wash bootcut jeans and black platform leather boots. She shaded her eyes from the sun with some black Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses and carried a black clutch wallet. Her bleach-blonde hair was pulled back into a low, loose bun, and her face was makeup-free.

On New Year’s Eve 2019, Gaga was seen kissing a mystery man per Page Six, who was later speculated to be Polansky. In February 2020, rumors of their relationship spread after they were seen together on a balcony in Miami during Super Bowl weekend, according to photos obtained by Page Six.

Just a few days after their Miami sighting, Gaga confirmed their romance on Instagram.

“We had so much fun in Miami. Love to all my little monsters and fans, you’re the best! ❤️,” she wrote in the caption along with a pic of her and Polansky snuggled up together on a boat.

Back in November 2023, a source revealed to Us Weekly that the couple faced a rough patch, but they worked through their “issues.” Rumors of their split started circulating after fans noticed Gaga and Polansky had not been publicly seen together since March 2022.

“They’re in a much better place now and feel comfortable socializing as a couple,” the insider said.
