Together, Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky exist on the edge of glory.

In fact, the Joker: Folie à Deux star recently shared the ways in which her fiancé was the perfect partner in crime as she tackled her newest studio album Harlequin.

“Michael is so brilliant in the way that he works,” she exclusively told E! News correspondent Will Marfuggi at the Los Angeles premiere of Joker Sept. 30. “And he never ceases to amaze me. I’ve watched him in so many facets of business, in science and biotech, in philanthropy, and like somehow he’s also magic with music.”

She continued of Michael, who also acted as producer on the album, “We have this amazing creative bond, and making Harlequin with him was just completely special in every way.” (For more with Gaga, watch E! News Oct. 1 at 11 p.m.)

The soundtrack album—which was released on Sept. 27—is meant to act as a companion to Joker, in which Gaga portrays Harley Quinn.

It is a dark role, the Grammy winner has said, that took its toll during the filming process. Thankfully, though, Michael was her rock through it all.

"I always tried every night that I went home to leave Harley at work," Gaga told E! News earlier in September. "We would make dinner every night after filming. I tried for sure. But sometimes, the darkness of the movie would stay with me, or sometimes the scene can stay with you. But I really tried to drop it."

Though she jokingly added, "Some people would love to hang out with Harley."

But for Michael, there’s no one he’d rather hang out with than Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, the woman behind Lady Gaga.

In fact, the pair’s relationship really hit its stride during the initial lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

“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,” Michael told Vogue in an interview published Sept. 5. “I think she loved the chance to slow down. She’s been operating at an unfathomable level of intensity for years and it’s no secret it had caught up to her.” 

It was a time period that was equally important to Gaga.

“It was really kind of special,” she added to Vogue. “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.”

And in the time since, she and Michael have only further proved to be the perfect pair. For more on the couple’s road to engagement, keep reading. 

Following her 2019 split from boyfriend Christian Carino, Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky were spotted sharing a kiss on New Year's Day in January 2020.

Gaga made her new romance social media official in February 2020, sharing a photo of her sitting on Michael's lap at the Super Bowl on Instagram with the caption, "We had so much fun in Miami. Love to all my little monsters and fans, you're the best!"

Despite keeping a low profile since the start of their relationship, Gaga has let her love for Michael, an entrepreneur and former CEO of the San Francisco-based Parker Group, shine through over the years, sharing a photo of the two in March 2020 with the caption, "I've got a STUPID love."

The Oscar winner also called Michael "the love of my life" during an April 2020 interview with MSNBC's Morning Joe.

And in March 2021, he surprised her with a massive flower arrangement for her 35th birthday, prompting Gaga to share on Instagram, "I love you honey. I can't wait to be home with you and our dogs, that's all I need."

Also in 2021, following the February attack on her French bulldogs and dog walker Ryan Fischer, the "Born This Way" singer made a rare comment about her and Michael's life together, telling The Hollywood Reporter, "My dogs and the man that I love are my whole life."

Rumors of an engagement between Lady Gaga and Michael first started swirling in April 2024 when Gaga stepped out wearing a massive diamond ring on that finger. But at the time, the duo were keeping tight-lipped on the rumors.

Days after Gaga kicked off the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, performing Zizi Jeanmaire's "Mon Truc En Plumes" at the opening ceremonies, she finally confirmed the engagement, introducing him as her "fiancé" during a conversation with French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal July 28.

The two made their red carpet debut as a couple at the premiere of Joker: Folie à Deux at the Venice Film Festival Sept. 4, 2024.

Michael joined Gaga at the premiere of Joker: Folie à Deux in London later in September 2024.

The singer said on the Graham Norton Show that the two had actually gotten engaged on April Fools' Day.

"Actually, I thought he was joking and he was not," Gaga said. "But it was really nice."
