LONDON, Sept 29 — Pop star Lady Gaga had intended to keep her engagement a secret — and definitely didn't plan on a reveal at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Unfortunately, the 38-year-old was caught on video in July, introducing her longtime partner as her fiancé to French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal at a packed Olympic event posted on the politician's TikTok. “The prime minister actually had his people filming us while they were saying hello and they caught me saying, ‘Oh, this is my fiancé’,” she said in the latest episode of The Graham Norton Show which aired on Friday.
“And I was trying to keep it hidden, but then they announced it to everyone. But that was kind of fun.” The news however did not come as too much a surprise as the singer was spotted in April with a large diamond ring on her ring finger, setting off speculation then over her relationship with entrepreneur and investor Michael Polansky.
Her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, had introduced the pair, as they finally met at the house of Napster co-founder Sean Parker, who co-founded the Parker Foundation with her now fiancé. “He was at a birthday party at Sean Parker’s house. He was just the most amazing man I’d ever met.
We talked for, like, three hours and then I couldn’t find him, but then he called me.” She and Polansky, then sparked romance rumours when they were photographed kissing at a 2020 New Year's party in Las Vegas. The following February, Gaga teased about the pair on Instagra.
