Lady Gaga wants her fans to know she is happy—thanks to finding her “missing piece,” fiancé Michael Polansky.
In a new interview published on Thursday, Sept. 5, the Joker: Folie à Deux star, real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, reflected on her relationship with the tech entrepreneur a little more than a month after confirming their engagement in July.
“I had never met anyone like Michael,” Gaga, 38, said about Polansky, 46, in her Vogue October cover story. “He’s so smart and so kind.”
“His life and my life are very different,” the actor and singer continued. “He’s a very private guy, and he’s not with me for any other reason than that we are right for each other. But I think what I want my fans to know is that I’m just, like, so happy.”
Gaga shared that her mental health has come a long way from where it was during the release of her last album, Chromatica, in 2020, thanks to Polansky’s presence.
“The missing piece in my life was having real love,” she said after describing how she was in “a really dark place.”
“But everything started to change. Because I had a real friend who saw the ways in which I was unhappy and why. And he wasn’t afraid to truly hold my hand. And get to know me. On a very deep level.”
