Lady Gaga is not caught in a “Bad Romance.”
The singer shared rare details in her Vogue cover story, published Thursday, about meeting and getting engaged to fiancé Michael Polansky.
The Grammy winner’s mom, Cynthia Germanotta, first crossed paths with the businessman due to a “philanthropic overlap” and told Gaga, “I think I just met your husband.”

The songwriter recalled thinking, “I’m not ready to meet my husband!”
However, she went to Sean Parker’s September 2019 birthday party and “kept asking” about Polansky until they were finally introduced — and “talked for three hours.”
The entrepreneur shared his first impression with the magazine, gushing that he was “struck immediately by her warmth and openness.”

Gaga and Polansky were all smiles at the Venice Film Festival Wednesday.
The pair talked on the phone for weeks before going on their first date, falling in love and quarantining together in Malibu, Calif., amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“It was really kind of special,” Gaga said. “I’d been so focused on my career since I was a teenager. And the gift of that time was that I got to completely focus on my relationship. I met this totally supportive, loving human being who wanted to get to know me — outside of Lady Gaga.”
Polansky agreed, adding, “We had this amazing chapter of a weird kind of normalcy that’s essential for any relationship to develop in a real way — taking walks, making coffee, hanging out with the dogs, reading books together.”
The duo met in 2019, she told Vogue on Thursday.

At the Paris Olympics in July, she referred to Polansky as her “fiancé.”
A source told People at the time that the couple had been engaged for “several months” before Gaga’s confirmation.
The insider claimed, “The couple shared the happy news with family and close friends right away but wanted to keep the engagement private otherwise.”
