Lady Gaga Reveals the Sweet Details of Michael Polansky's Proposal

Ah, the enchanting Lady Gaga has graced us with a delightful morsel of her romantic life on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. And if you think you understand the drama, twists, and turns that often come with a proposal, think again. This one’s dressed in sequins and sprinkled with humor—two of Gaga's signature ingredients.

It all kicked off when she revealed that Michael Polansky, the man who would ask for her heart, chose the day after her birthday to pop the question. You know, I can only imagine the slight twinge of expectation she must have felt as she said, “Oh, I thought he was going to propose.” It’s just the kind of wonderful anticipation that every woman secretly hopes for—after all, isn’t there a song about that?

And oh, the setting! The couple decided to take their love soaring—literally—on a rock climbing trip. “We've been rock climbing before, which was super fun,” she chirped, as if scaling rocky heights with her beloved is just a mundane Tuesday afternoon. When Kimmel probed whether climbing rocks was part of her regular exercise routine, Gaga cheekily replied, “I do now. I would do anything for love.” If that’s not the essence of commitment, I don't know what is!

Now, let’s take a moment to appreciate Polansky’s pre-proposal ritual. As they ambled back from their climbing escapades, he casually asked for permission to propose. “It was very Michael,” she recounted, and how refreshing that is to hear! Imagine a man putting in a request: “May I propose before I actually propose?” Now, that’s modern romance right there. And her enthusiastic “Yes, it’s so OK!” was practically a veritable cheerleader moment.

Curiously, Kimmel quizzed why Polansky didn’t drop to one knee at the summit, and Gaga, in her oh-so-endearing way, offered a wise reflection: “I think it was smart. It was safe. He had the ring in his backpack, so it was super cute.” Who would have thought a proposal could hinge on the logistics of safety and a backpack? Classic Gaga!

And for all you traditionalists out there hoping to see a knee bend, she remarked, “He didn’t, but I’m a modern lady. I like what he did.” A modern lady indeed, as she seems undeterred by the norms of fairy-tale proposal expectations.

As for the wedding plans? Oh, darling, they might just keep it intimate—imagine two star-crossed lovers dodging the paparazzi and heading to the courthouse. “Just the two of us and just ordering Chinese food,” she mused, humorously envisioning an alternative that’s not quite the grand spectacle you’d expect. But, knowing Gaga, she quipped it could spiral into “a circus with unicorns.” Who doesn’t love a little drama mixed with their noodles?

Their romance ignited back in 2020, captured in a cozy photograph on a yacht as they reveled in the sunny Miami air during the Super Bowl extravaganza. Who knew that amid all that chrome and glitter of fame was a simple, romantic story waiting to unfold?

In the end, whether it’s love on the rocks or cuddles on the sea, one thing is certain: when it comes to Lady Gaga, every chapter is filled with a sparkle of humor, a slice of reality, and plenty of heart. Cheers to love that knows how to climb high and dance low!
