Lady Gaga Reveals Unexpected Matchmaker for Relationship with Michael Polansky
Lady Gaga Praises Fiancé Michael Polansky for Helping Her Through an “Absolutely Horrible Time”
Lady Gaga can die with a smile thanks to her real-life cupid.
The Joker: Folie à Deux star revealed exactly who was responsible for setting her up with now-fiancé Michael Polansky, who proposed earlier this year. And no, it wasn’t a fellow celebrity who played matchmaker four years ago, but rather her mother, Cynthia Germanotta.
“My mom, she said, ‘I just met your husband,’” the 38-year-old told Access Hollywood in an interview published Sept. 23. “And I was like, ‘I’m not ready to meet my husband!’”
But the Oscar winner—who was previously engaged to Christian Carino and Taylor Kinney—later decided she was ready for a bad romance after all, so she took her mom up on the offer to introduce her to Polansky—a businessman who founded the charitable Parker Foundation alongside Napster co-founder Sean Parker.
“He was at a birthday party at Sean Parker’s house,” Gaga continued. “I went to the party and I met him, and 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.”
