Lady Gaga‘s ex-fiance Taylor Kinney has married model girlfriend Ashley Cruger – eight years after his shock split from the singer.

The Oscar winner and Kinney first met while shooting her music video for You and I, in which he starred as her on-screen love interest.

He popped the question with a 10-carat heart-shaped diamond engagement ring, estimated to be worth around $500,000.

Gaga was romantically-linked to CAA agent Christian Carino in early 2017, and the pair got engaged in November of the same year, before splitting in February 2019.

Gaga has been dating boyfriend Michael Polansky since 2019.

In December 2019, the songstress was first linked to Polansky when the two were seen celebrating New Year’s in Las Vegas.

And in early 2020, the pair confirmed their budding romance by sharing a kiss in Miami and the Grammy winner went Instagram official with Michael soon after.

The star – whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta – uploaded a snap at the time as she snuggled close to her boyfriend while sitting on his lap.

However, in March 2023, rumors arose that Lady Gaga and Polansky had gone their separate ways, with a source telling Radar Online at the time, ‘They broke up a few months ago. It was amicable. They’re still friends.’

But later that same year, the pair proved their romance was going strong when they were spotted in Las Vegas together and also stopped by a SNL after party.

Earlier this year in February, the lovebirds attended the Super Bowl in Las Vegas and sat next to each other in a VIP suite at Allegiant Stadium.

Most recently, Lady Gaga was accompanied by Michael and some of her close pals at celebrity hotspot, Giorgio Baldi, to celebrate her 38th birthday on March 28.

Back in 2021, a source opened up about their relationship and told Us Weekly, ‘Michael really is a great guy. He’s down-to-earth, smart and focused on his businesses.’

The insider added that Michael, ‘brings real stability to her life. When they’re together, they are always touching, giggling and it’s obvious they really love each other.’

Later that same year, the performer herself briefly commented on the relationship during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. ‘My dogs and the man that I love are my whole life.’
