Written by djfrosty on October 2, 2024
Lady Gaga has anything but a bad romance with Michael Polansky, who proposed to her in April.
And during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday (Oct. 1), the pop superstar detailed the full story of how the entrepreneur popped the question during a rock-climbing trip. “He proposed to me right after my birthday, so my birthday passed and I was like, ‘Well, I thought he was gonna propose …,’” Gaga began, an enormous diamond glittering on her left ring finger. “I do [rock climb] now. I would do anything for love.”
The 13-time Grammy winner went on to say that Polanksy waited until after they had finished their climbing expedition to ask her to marry him. “We were just walking back to the room and talking,” she continued. “He actually — it was very Michael — asked me if he could ask me. He wanted to know if it was OK to propose before he proposed. And I was like, ‘Yes, it’s so OK!’”
“He had the ring in his backpack, so it was so super cute,” Gaga added, noting that Polansky didn’t get down on one knee for the occasion. “But you know what? I’m a modern lady. I like what he did.”

Kimmel then pressed the “Rain on Me” singer about her plans for the wedding, something Gaga said has her feeling conflicted. “We actually talk a lot about just going to a courthouse just the two of us and ordering Chinese food,” she explained. “But knowing me, it could become like a circus with unicorns.”
Gaga previously confirmed that Polansky proposed to her during a rock-climbing trip in an interview with Vogue, during which she also revealed how her mom set them up before the couple’s first meeting at Sean Parker’s birthday party. In September, the pair made their red carpet debut at the Venice International Film Festival, where the musician promoted her new film, Joker: Folie à Deux.
“I just love my fiancé so much,” she told People Sept. 30. “He’s my best friend. He’s my partner, and I just feel like when you are with your best friend, everything changes.”
