Lady Gaga has revealed she’s getting married “soon” to her fiancé Michael Polansky, announcing the news in a surprise moment that has fans excited about the long-awaited wedding.
The 39-year-old pop icon phoned into Bruno Mars’ iHeartRadio livestream “Romantic Radio” on Friday, March 6, 2026, and asked him to dedicate a special song to her and Polansky as they plan their nuptials. Mars, 40, immediately recognized her voice and picked “Risk It All,” the opening cut from his February 2026 album “The Romantic,” as a possible first-dance song for the couple.
The wedding update arrives almost two years after Gaga announced her engagement to Polansky, a tech entrepreneur and Harvard graduate, in July 2024. She made the reveal in a particularly memorable way at the Paris Olympics, introducing him as her “fiancé” while speaking with French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.
The pair first met in December 2019 at Sean Parker’s 40th birthday party in Los Angeles. They were later photographed kissing at a New Year’s Eve gathering in Las Vegas and confirmed their relationship publicly soon after the 2020 Super Bowl in Miami. During the COVID-19 lockdown they quarantined together at Gaga’s Malibu residence, where their relationship grew stronger.
Polansky proposed on April Fools’ Day 2024 during a rock-climbing outing. Rather than proposing at the peak, he kept the ring in his backpack and waited until they descended to a safer spot to pop the question. In a thoughtful touch true to his style, he asked permission before he asked the big question.
The engagement inspired one of the most personal tracks on Gaga’s March 2025 album “MAYHEM,” a record on which Polansky served as co-executive producer and co-writer on several songs. The track “Blade of Grass” came from a private backyard exchange about the proposal, with Gaga telling the BBC: “A long time ago, we were in the backyard, and he asked me, ‘If I ever proposed to you, like, how do I do that?’ And I just said, ‘Just get a blade of grass from the backyard and wrap it around my finger.'”
Regarding the wedding plans, Gaga has suggested she might keep things fairly low-key, while admitting anything is possible. She’s joked about a simple courthouse ceremony with Chinese food, but also said it could turn into “a circus with unicorns.”
In November 2025, Polansky discussed their timeline in a Rolling Stone interview, saying they talk about marriage “all the time” and prefer an intimate ceremony rather than something extravagant. Their Mayhem Ball tour is set to conclude at Madison Square Garden in April 2026.
Their creative partnership reaches beyond music. Gaga often describes Polansky as her closest friend and biggest supporter, crediting him with understanding who she truly is beneath the pop star image. She accepted Artist of the Year at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards and dedicated the honor to “my partner in all things, Michael.”
On her October 2025 appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” Gaga — born Stefani Germanotta — also spoke about what she sees as her next major role: motherhood. When asked about future projects, she replied plainly: “What I really want is to be a mom. That’s my next starring role, I hope.”
By August 2024, reports suggested wedding planning and prenup discussions were already in motion, according to multiple reports at the time. Now that Gaga has confirmed the wedding will happen “soon,” fans are wondering whether the ceremony will be a modest courthouse event with takeout or the unicorn-filled spectacle she teased.
One thing appears clear: whether their soundtrack includes Bruno Mars’ “Risk It All” or Gaga’s own “Blade of Grass,” the music at their wedding will carry deep meaning.
