Lady Gaga<\/strong><\/a> and Michael Polansky<\/strong> are very much together, but he\u2019s not popular with a large section of her friends who moan he\u2019s a total control freak and decidedly not a calming influence on the pop megastar! A source who is close to Gaga exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em>, \u201cI don\u2019t see this much publicly, but behind the scenes, Gaga has been a more fragile person while dating Michael than at any other time I\u2019ve known her.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBottom line: everything in her career is going great but this relationship has not been good for her and she and Michael do spend a ton of her downtime together. She has given over to him a ton of her schedule, and I can\u2019t say that was the case when she was dating Taylor Kinney,<\/strong>\u201d the insider says of Gaga\u2019s ex-fianc\u00e8. \u201cShe was in a much better place then. To be fair, Michael has had a much different life than Taylor and never had the advantage of good looks to open doors for him. He\u2019s a self-made man and that\u2019s always going to be a double-edged sword.\u201d<\/p>\n Gaga, 38, and Taylor, 43, met on the set of her music video for the song \u201cYo\u00fc and I\u201d in 2011 and got engaged four years later. The pair never made it down the aisle and ended their engagement the following year.<\/p>\n \u201cTaylor was just a much bigger softie and had a serious \u2018Prince Charming\u2019 vibe to boot. Gaga was severely wounded when that relationship ended, and she hasn\u2019t been the same since,\u201d the insider continues. \u201cI think one of the big reasons she\u2019s still with Michael is because he has, by and large, won over her business team and her management, and they all support this relationship \u2013 for the time being. But only a fool would predict that she\u2019s going to spend the rest of her life with this guy!\u201d<\/p>\n The couple sparked engagement rumors on April 7 after the Grammy-winning artist was photographed with a massive wedding ring on the appropriate finger. Days later, a separate source exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> that Gaga and Michael, 46, were \u201calready talking about a wedding<\/a>\u201d and noted that the nuptials \u201cwill probably happen this fall or early next year.\u201d<\/p>\n Before Gaga and Michael took the next step, Life & Style<\/em> reported that they briefly split while working together to be on the same page about their future<\/a>, which the insider revealed now involves \u201ckids.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGaga and Michael have been through some ups and downs, but they realized that they\u2019re good together, that they belong together,\u201d the insider shared. \u201cGaga\u2019s an artist who thinks outside the box, whereas Michael\u2019s very calm and level headed. She says he helps her maintain harmony. They\u2019re each other\u2019s yin and yang.\u201d<\/p>\n In June, a third insider revealed the vibe that the A Star Is Born<\/em> starlet wants for her nuptials.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s told friends and family to get ready for a wedding,\u201d the source exclusively told Life & Style<\/em>, revealing that Gaga has \u201calways dreamed of having a sunset wedding<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
