Is Lady Gaga amping up her relationship with sound engineer Dan Horton to get rid of Bradley Cooper rumors once and for all? Entertainment pundits seem to think so as the Born This Way singer outs her new beau for all to see.

According to a report by Harper's Bazaar, at the time that Lady Gaga was being linked to Bradley Cooper, her co-star, and director for A Star is Born, she took relationship rumors in stride because she saw all the talk about the actor all in good fun.

"All the talk of Bradley was all in fun. She's ready to dispel those rumors once and for all," the source said to the magazine.

A source close to the singer said that Lady Gaga admired Horton because they share the same characteristics. Dan, like Lady Gaga, is a consummate professional and matches her passion for work. They are also quite good looking, apart from being talented, making them successful in the entertainment industry.

While his name is not widely known before his relationship with Lady Gaga, it is said by witnesses to their love story that their relationship was bound to happen because they had very strong chemistry even when they were working together.

"They're working very closely together at a home studio in Hollywood, and sparks just started flying. People noticed the chemistry early on, and now that she has taken some time to herself, she finally feels free to date. They seem like a pretty good match."

Reps of Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga have denied that they had anything to do with the breakups with their previous partners. Lady Gaga broke up with fiancé Christian Carino after two years together while Bradley broke up with his long-time girlfriend, model Irina Shayk shortly after.

After seeing the electric performance of Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga during the Academy Awards show, pundits immediately began floating rumors that they are more than friends.

Lady Gaga herself squashed the rumors when she appeared at Jimmy Kimmel Live where she dismissed what people saw as a romantic connection as simply good acting, HB reported.

The singer said that she and Bradley made a good team and that they were able to sell their performance because they were effective actors. It was also something that was the product of hard work. The Born This Way singer said that she and Bradley rehearsed for weeks to pull off their seamless performance.
