Much of Lady Gaga's life remains a mystery to her fans, despite the amount of information she shares with her "Little Monsters." The star has made headlines for ages for her wild fashion choices, her relationships, and even rumored relationships (such as her friendship with Bradley Cooper).
But recently, Lady Gaga revealed she was dating Michael Polansky, leading fans to obsess over the new guy in Gaga's life. Not to worry: here are all the details fans are clamoring to learn about Michael Polansky (and his relationship with Lady Gaga).
10 Michael Polansky's Net Worth Rivals His Girlfriend's
Michael Polansky is not just arm candy for one of the biggest musicians in the industry. He might be dating Lady Gaga, but Polansky also went to Harvard and now works with Facebook co-founder Sean Parker. HITC confirms that while no one knows his exact net worth, estimates place Michael Polansky's "value" at between $300 and $600 million.
That's more than Lady Gaga's estimated $275 million net worth, making the pair a true power couple. Obviously, Michael doesn't need Gaga's fame to earn him money.
9 The Tech Entrepreneur Is A CEO
As HITC explains, Polansky is the CEO of The Parker Group, which includes the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy. Essentially, he works for a private philanthropy firm, which might be one of the reasons why Lady Gaga is so smitten.
After all, Lady Gaga has her own charitable foundation and makes big moves toward bringing attention to social issues. No doubt Michael can also offer Gaga advice on her business operations since he's a CEO and all! As you'll soon learn, the pair have worked together already.
8 Michael's Ex Wrote An Op-Ed About Him And Gaga
While the headline drew attention, the content wasn't that scandalous. But it's true that Michael Polanksy's ex-girlfriend, Lindsay Crouse, a senior staff editor at The New York Times, wrote an op-ed about being the ex of Lady Gaga's newest flame.
Lindsay and Michael dated for seven years, and when news broke that her ex was Lady Gaga's new flame, Lindsay explained that friends started calling and checking in on her. Fortunately, the former couple ended on good terms, and Lindsay had nothing but good things to say about Gaga.
7 Lady Gaga Likely Met Michael Through His Work Partner
According to Elle, it's most likely that Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky met through Sean Parker. After all, Sean Parker hosts plenty of industry events, including one where Gaga performed and charmed Bradley Cooper. After seeing Lady Gaga perform, Cooper opted to cast her in A Star is Born.
It's quite possible that Lady Gaga similarly charmed Michael Polansky when the pair attended another of Sean Parker's events. "Sources" say it was Parker's birthday party in December of 2019 that was the magic moment for the couple.
6 The Couple Has Worked Together
Elle explained that Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky (among a long list of others!) collaborated on a benefit for those dealing with the coronavirus. The fundraiser was the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, which Lady Gaga repped for back in April. The two have also been vocal about masking up and protecting others.
With Lady Gaga's background in charity and Michael's connections to cancer research & more, it's not surprising that the super-philanthropic pair decided to put their quarantine time to good use. Just another reason to ship the couple, right?
5 Lady Gaga Might Want Kids With Michael
In an interview following the publicizing of her relationship with Michael, Lady Gaga explained how much she wants marriage and kids. Of course, that came after her pronouncement that she wants to do more charity work and raise money to find cures for many modern diseases.
But Lady Gaga also elaborated that she looks forward to becoming a mom and is "very excited" to have kids. And with Lady Gaga being 34 in 2020 and Michael age 42, the timing might just be right for both of them.
4 Lady Gaga's Man Wines And Dines Her
Though Lady Gaga has a high enough net worth of her own, Elle's sources said that Michael was happy to wine and dine his lady. He likes to spoil the star, the publication noted, even though the singer can clearly buy whatever her heart desires.
From her car collection to her property, Lady Gaga has everything a girl could want. But a guy who dotes on her is just what all of Gaga's fans want for the singer.
3 But Michael Is Super Private Online
Unlike his leading lady, Michael Polansky seems to keep his social media locked down. While multiple journalists have cited his LinkedIn experience in their articles on the now-celebrity, Michael's social media flies under the radar. With just a few hundred followers, Michael has his Instagram set to private.
So while he's open about the fact that he's dating Gaga, Michael doesn't splash pics of the pair all over the web. And while Lady Gaga has posted pics of them, she also shared a video of them dancing to songs from Chromatica.
2 The Relationship Got Serious, Fast
Describing Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky's relationship timeline, Elle explained that 'sources' said the pair had been dating for a month before they went all-in. If the timeline of their first meeting adds up, the couple only waited a month or two before Lady Gaga started sharing cute couple snaps on Instagram.
From a photo of Lady Gaga sitting on Michael's lap to a selfie of the pair on Valentine's day, things went quickly. Then the couple started quarantining together, reported Elle. What a way to spend lockdown!
1 They Might Be Getting Married (In Private)
As OK! Magazine reported recently, though the couple has only been together about eight months, they have plans to elope. The publication elaborated that the couple's plans to head to Las Vegas, Nevada to tie the knot in a private ceremony have recently surfaced.
Fans will have to wait and see if the rumors turn out to be true, or if it's just wishful thinking. Of course, the two could turn out to be soul mates, and fans are totally here for it.
