Truth about Lady Gaga’s engagement, as insiders reveal star’s secret rock bottom… that nearly cost her everything

by

Lady Gaga has always been known for taking risks, working hard, and constantly changing her style. However, she’s finding her greatest success now with a more relaxed and grounded approach.

I’ve been a huge fan for nearly twenty years, and it’s been amazing watching her navigate everything life has thrown her way, both in her career and personally. I’m so thrilled to hear she’s engaged to Michael Polansky! And honestly, this comeback is incredible – her new album, ‘Mayhem,’ is absolutely topping the charts, and it’s so well-deserved. It’s fantastic to see her doing so well.

According to the Daily Mail, Lady Gaga – whose real name is Stefani Germanotta – is reportedly happier than ever, having found success in both her personal life and career.

Much of this positive change is due to Polansky, who is considered a stabilizing and supportive presence in the star’s life, as well as her closest friend.

According to a source, they’ve become so intertwined that they essentially function as a single person.

She hadn’t experienced a love like this before, but Michael gives her everything she’s ever needed and dreamed of. They truly seem like a perfect match.

Lady Gaga’s latest album, Mayhem, marks a return to the innovative and bold sound that first made her famous in the early 2010s.

This album marked a return to Lady Gaga’s most iconic sound – reminiscent of hits like ‘Bad Romance’ and ‘Born This Way’ – with energetic dance music and darkly dramatic visuals.

Mayhem topped the Billboard 200 chart and received widespread critical acclaim, appearing on many ‘best of the year’ lists.

Lady Gaga didn’t win the Grammy for Album of the Year, but she did receive awards for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Dance Pop Recording for her song ‘Abracadabra’.

Her song “Die With a Smile,” a collaboration with Bruno Mars, was a massive hit. It topped the charts, became Spotify’s most-streamed song in 2025, and is now considered one of the greatest songs ever made.

She remixed the song with a Latin beat during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance on Sunday, then danced energetically alongside the Puerto Rican rapper in front of about 128 million people.

Lady Gaga is turning 40 in March, and she’s become a true pop icon. Unlike some other singers like Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera, she’s successfully maintained her career momentum and avoided a decline in popularity as she’s entered this new phase of her life.

It’s even more remarkable how she’s bounced back, considering some of her past projects didn’t do well – like her country album, Joanne, and her over-the-top performance in House of Gucci.

The 2024 film Joker: Folie à Deux was a major disappointment, both with critics and at the box office. It even earned stars Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix a Razzie Award for Worst Screen Combo.

You know, after the second Joker film didn’t quite land as hoped, I was worried for her, but she’s a real pro. She didn’t let it get her down at all! She kept creating music, and then immediately landed incredible roles like Wednesday on Netflix and the Devil Wears Prada sequel. And the best part? She’s now out on tour, connecting with fans – it’s a total testament to her resilience and passion!

Despite some unsuccessful films, Lady Gaga has also navigated a difficult personal life and found happiness with her fiancé, Polansky.

Things are going really well for her. She’s very happy, and a source says Michael is a big reason why she’s feeling so joyful.

She’s making smart choices about the projects she takes on – ones she knows her fans will enjoy and that will also boost her career.

The actress hasn’t always had an easy time with romance, having previously broken off engagements with actor Taylor Kinney and talent agent Christian Carino.

Before becoming famous, Lady Gaga experienced sexual assault by a music producer when she was 19 years old. This traumatic event led to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and, eventually, a severe mental health crisis.

‘First I felt full-on pain, then I went numb,’ she recalled years later.

I was ill for a long time afterward, and it brought back the same pain I felt when, after being assaulted, I was left pregnant and sick at my parents’ home. It reminded me of the abuse I had experienced.

In addition to dealing with past trauma, she began using drugs and alcohol mainly to manage the anxiety and pain she felt while touring the world.

At the height of her addiction, Gaga was smoking up to 20 marijuana joints a day with no tobacco.

‘I was living on a totally other psychedelic plane, numbing myself completely,’ she said in 2013.

I jump from one interest or activity to another because I eventually reach a limit with each one, and need to find something new to focus on.

Now Gaga has stopped smoking and is focused on keeping fit (she likes spinning and swimming).

She truly shone on stage during The Mayhem Ball tour, a hugely successful pop tour that earned more money last year than any other by a female artist. The tour is still happening, with a total of 87 shows planned.

Last May, her free concert in Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana drew an incredible 2.5 million people, setting a new record for the largest concert ever performed by a female artist.

Gaga’s fiancé has been a constant support throughout her recent career resurgence, helping produce both her album, Mayhem, and the accompanying concert tour, The Mayhem Ball.

He’s even listed as a co-writer on some of her recent tunes, including her single Disease.

According to a source, Michael is becoming more involved in guiding her career, but neither of them wants a traditional manager-employee relationship. They plan to collaborate as equals, and he doesn’t want to be perceived as controlling her career path.

‘Contributor is fine, but at the end of the day, she is her own manager if anything.

It’s rare to witness a couple who seem like they’ve stepped straight out of a romantic movie, but that’s exactly what their relationship is like right now. It’s amazing to see this kind of love actually exist, and you genuinely hope everyone can experience something similar.
