Lady Gaga Can't Stop Sharing Photos With Her New Boyfriend, Michael Polansky

From Oprah Magazine

• Lady Gaga, whose romance with audio engineer Dan Horton ended in October of last year, has been dating Michael Polansky, an investor, entrepreneur, and CEO with ties to Facebook co-founder Sean Parker.

• Gaga, who performed at AT&T's TV Super Saturday Night before the Super Bowl, took to Instagram to post a picture of her and Polansky cuddling on a boat in February.

• Since the release of her new single, "Stupid Love," she's shared several other photos of them together.

While fans tried to get to the bottom of the mystery for months, Lady Gaga confirmed in February she's dating Michael Polansky, an entrepreneur and investor with ties to Facebook co-founder Sean Parker. She made things official by posting a snap featuring the two cuddling on a boat to her Instagram account.

Gaga, whose love life is often the subject of breaking news, broke off her last relationship with audio engineer Dan Horton in October 2019 after a few months. The summer fling followed previous relationships: one to Hollywood agent Christian Carino in 2017, the other to Chicago Fire actor Taylor Kinney in 2016, who she was engaged to.

Previously, rumors swirled that Gaga was dating her A Star Is Born co-star Bradley Cooper, though she quickly debunked them during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live. And other loves in her life have included DJ Luc Carl, who inspired some of her greatest hits.

So we have to ask, could Polansky be the one? Who knows. It’s early for the pair, who have been spotted looking cozy across the country from Las Vegas to Miami. Truly, all we care about is for Mother Monster to be happy. Below, we’re brushing up on our knowledge of Polansky, including where he went to school, how he makes a buck, and when he met the “Million Reasons” singer.

Lady Gaga posted a pic of her and Michael Polansky in Miami in October.

The picture shows Gaga sitting in Polansky’s lap on what appears to be a boat (a fancy yacht, though, we’re sure) after the megastar performed at AT&T's TV Super Saturday Night before the Super Bowl. Gaga, who’s wearing a deck-appropriate fishnet number, captioned the post, “We had so much fun in Miami. Love to all my little monsters and fans, you’re the best! ❤”

She also shared a snap of them together on Valentine's Day.

The couple celebrated the holiday together. Gaga posted a selfie of them, writing, "Happy Valentine’s Day!! “Babe, do I have lipstick all-over me?”😂#valentines ❤️💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💕🧚♀️happy v-day to all my monsters!!! I love you!!!"

They also shared this dreamy sunset pic.

And following the release of Gaga's new single, "Stupid Love," she also shared another selfie of them.

Polansky is super smart. Read: He’s a Harvard grad.

An applied mathematics and computer science graduate from the impressive Ivy League, Polansky no doubt knows that dating a superstar like Gaga will come with plenty of media attention. The internet has a lot more to say about who’s on Lady Gaga’s arm than, say, what’s going down at the Bloomberg Technology Conference or what’s happening at Variety’s Venture Capital New Media Summit—both of which he spoke at. Alas, our priorities might be a little mixed up.

He runs Sean Parker’s cancer foundation.

Remember Napster? That music pirating site that was super popular in the early 2000s? It was founded by Sean Parker, who also helped co-found a little social networking juggernaut known as Facebook. Further groundbreaking projects of Parker’s include the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, and that’s where Polansky comes in. More than just the foundation’s executive director, Polansky is the CEO of the entire Parker Group.

He likely connected romantically with Gaga last December at Parker’s birthday party.

Though the two reportedly knew each other from previous charitable events, Page Six reported that it’s likely the pair reconnected and sparked up something beyond friendship last year while celebrating Parker’s 40th birthday. Then, as we mentioned above, paparazzi lenses caught the two together in Las Vegas over New Year’s and kissing in Miami before the Super Bowl.
