The pop icon, Lady Gaga, has graced the City of Light for the highly anticipated 2024 Summer Olympics, stealing the spotlight at the Opening Ceremony on Friday with a breathtaking performance. Amidst the glitz and glamour of Paris, whispers of a long-held secret engagement seem to have finally surfaced, adding an extra sparkle to her Olympic journey.
Gaga, who has been dazzling the crowds with her presence at various events over the weekend, found herself in a moment captured on TikTok by French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal. The video, captioned with gratitude for Gaga's mesmerizing opening act, has sparked a flurry of excitement for a different reason. In the backdrop of the sparkling pool, where aquatic wonders were about to unfold, Gaga warmly embraced Attal, only to turn to Michael Polansky—her rumored beau since the late 2010s—and introduce him as "my fiancé." The handshake that ensued between Attal and Polansky spoke volumes, fueling the engagement rumors that had been simmering since April, when Gaga was spotted sporting a dazzling diamond on her left ring finger.
The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Gaga's representatives for confirmation, but until then, the mystery lingers, adding a romantic touch to her already legendary Olympic debut.
Previously engaged to talent agent Christian Carino (who she parted ways with in 2019) and actor Taylor Kinney (their relationship ended in 2016), Gaga's latest potential commitment marks a new chapter in her love story. At the Opening Ceremony, she embraced her French surroundings wholeheartedly, performing entirely in the language of love, serenading the audience with "Mon Truc en Plume" ("My Thing With Feathers") while engaging in a meticulously choreographed dance routine with her backup dancers. Her face, concealed by playful pom-poms before being dramatically revealed, added a touch of intrigue to her pre-recorded, yet still captivating, performance on the banks of the Seine.
Gaga's presence has undoubtedly lit up the Olympic flame, both figuratively and literally, as she continues to enchant the world with her talent and, perhaps, her latest love story.
