In her October cover story for Vogue , Gaga opened up about how her mental health has come a long way from where it was during the release of her 2020 album Chromatica , attributing it all to Polansky’s influence.

“I had never met anyone like Michael,” Gaga told Vogue . “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.” Adding, “But I think what I want my fans to know is that I’m just, like, so happy.”

Gaga’s mom, Cynthia Germanotta , was the first to cross paths with the businessman due to a “philanthropic overlap” and told Gaga, “I think I just met your husband.” Gaga recalled thinking, “I’m not ready to meet my husband!”

Even so, when attending Sean Parker ’s birthday party in September 2019, Gaga admitted she “kept asking” about Polansky until they were finally introduced, and ultimately “talked for three hours.”

The entrepreneur shared his first impression of his multi-talented lady with the magazine as well, gushing that he was “struck immediately by her warmth and openness.”

The pair talked on the phone for weeks before going on their first date, falling in love and quarantining together amid the pandemic in Malibu, California.
“It was really kind of special,” Gaga said. “I’d been so focused on my career since I was a teenager. And the gift of that time was that I got to completely focus on my relationship. I met this totally supportive, loving human being who wanted to get to know me — outside of Lady Gaga.”

Polansky concurred, adding, “We had this amazing chapter of a weird kind of normalcy that’s essential for any relationship to develop in a real way — taking walks, making coffee, hanging out with the dogs, reading books together.”

Gaga went on to note that the creation of her Chromatica album was “an absolutely horrible time” for her “mental health” and she had been in “a really dark place.” However, Polansky helped “change” all that.

“I struggled for, like, many years before that. But everything started to change. Because I had a real friend who saw the ways in which I was unhappy and why. And he wasn’t afraid to truly hold my hand and get to know me on a very deep level,” Gaga said.

Noting elsewhere in the interview that their relationship has helped her find balance, and that “The missing piece in my life was having real love.”
