Lady Gaga is pouring her soul into a heartfelt tribute as her fiancé, Michael Polansky, marks another journey around the sun. Celebrating his 42nd birthday, the "Mayhem" maestro crafted a special message that shines as brightly as her iconic music. Taking to Instagram on Friday, September 26, to commemorate the milestone, the "Bad Romance" superstar shared intimate snapshots of the couple, paired with a sweet note that read: "Happy Birthday to my honey."
"I hope 42 is your best year yet," Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, wrote with tender affection. "You've accomplished so much in your 42 years, and I'm proud of you every single day—and so incredibly grateful for the day you entered this world. It was the most special day," she gushed.
The cover photo of the three-image post captured the couple sharing a romantic kiss on a farm, with curious goats watching from the sidelines. The next slide showed them wrapped in a warm embrace in front of a vibrant food truck. Meanwhile, the final snapshot featured a donut-shaped birthday cake adorned with fresh strawberries and a single candle, symbolizing the celebration of another year.
"This is my favorite day of the year!" the "Die With a Smile" chart-topper continued. "A crisp, almost rainy day, a long walk, with the backdrop of your sweet birthday smile, lots of laughter, and angel food cake drizzled with chocolate sauce."
"Even this goat knows what a happy day your birthday is to me," she wrote with a blushing smiley emoji, referencing the animals in the birthday photos. "I love you," she added, finishing with a kiss mark emoji.
Her heartfelt tribute to Polansky, whom she was first romantically linked to in 2020, comes just weeks after she gave him a sweet shoutout during her 2025 MTV Video Music Awards Artist of the Year acceptance speech on September 7. The following day, she penned another emotional Instagram message, reflecting on the couple’s creative collaboration on her sixth album, "Mayhem."
