It was her sister's big day, but as she completed her maid of honor responsibilities at her sibling Natali Germanotta's wedding in Maine in June, all eyes were on Lady Gaga and her fiance, Michael Polansky. At the same time, all eyes were on the enormous rock that was placed on her left ring finger, which had initially prompted engagement rumors back in April.
While Lady Gaga posted a video on TikTok in which she denied that she was pregnant, a source points out that "she hasn't addressed the rumors that she's getting married next." Her appearance also led some fans to speculate that she was expecting a child.
“But her friends are hoping she doesn’t take the next step because they don’t really like Michael,” an unnamed source told In Touch Weekly, adding they are concerned that Lady Gaga has been stuck in a poor relationship with the internet entrepreneur and philanthropist for the past four years.
“They believe that he’s a total control freak and it’s taken a toll on her emotional well-being. He’s not good for her,” the insider claimed. The one who Lady Gaga refers to as "her best friend" has developed into a significant figure in her overall life.
“When Gaga is in love, her whole life revolves around her guy,” the informant stated, adding that Michael, 46, “has charmed her management team and seems to like being in control of her life and career. She doesn’t make a business move without consulting him. He wants to accompany her everywhere she goes. She’s at the point where she doesn’t want to do anything unless he’s there to hold her hand.”
It may come as a surprise, but the Mother Monster's submissive demeanor is not completely out of character. “He’s totally in charge,” Lady Gaga said in 2014, of handing over the reins to then-boyfriend Taylor Kinney after being a boss all day at work. Plus, she added, “it’s not good for relationships to tell men what to do.”
However, Taylor was not like other people, the insider insisted. “He was a much bigger softie, and he certainly didn’t insert himself into matters involving her career,” it stated of the “Chicago Fire” star, who Lady Gaga, 38, admitted in 2020 she “still loves.”
“She honestly still seems hung up on Taylor — he had a Prince Charming vibe. She hasn’t been the same since, and I’ve never known her to be as fragile as she is with Michael,” the mole added.
Regarding her difficulties with mental health, Lady Gaga has been open and honest for a long time, Teen Vogue reported. “And Michael’s hovering doesn’t help. She rarely has a moment alone. Her friends hope she comes to her senses soon. No one thinks she’s going to spend the rest of her life with this guy,” the tattler said.
Business Times has reached out to Lady Gaga for comments.
