Michael Polansky is opening up about his wedding planning progress with Lady Gaga.
For Gaga’s Rolling Stone cover story published on Thursday, Nov. 13, Polansky spoke to the magazine about his pop superstar fiancée, and made a rare comment about their upcoming wedding.
“We’re talking about it all the time,” Polansky said. “We have these breaks, and they’re tempting. It’s like, ‘Okay, can we get married that weekend?’ We don’t want a really big wedding, but we want to enjoy it. In a lot of ways, we already feel married, so it’s not like it’s gonna change much.”

According to the outlet, the couple is planning on tying the knot “soon,” either during Gaga’s The Mayhem Ball tour or just after. The tour began earlier this year in July in Las Vegas, and is scheduled to conclude in April 2026 in New York City.
Gaga, 39, and Polansky, 42, approached tour planning together. “Imagine two best friends just moving through life, but we’re always being creative,” the Joker actress told Rolling Stone.
After marriage will be parenthood.
“Being a mom is the thing I want the most,” Gaga said. “And he’s gonna be a beautiful father. We’re really excited about that.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Gaga shared that she’s comfortable being her complete self with her fiancé, who she confirmed her engagement to in 2024. “Being in love with someone that cares about the real me made a very big difference.”

Speaking to Vogue for an October 2024 cover story, Gaga revealed that Polansky popped the question while the two were rock climbing together.
The A Star Is Born actress also told the magazine that she was “so happy” in her relationship.
“I had never met anyone like Michael,” she gushed. “He’s so smart and so kind. And his life and my life are very different. He’s a very private guy and he’s not with me for any other reason than that we are right for each other.”
