Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky’s love story has been nothing short of spectacular, and the Poker Face singer’s engagement ring is a reflection of their unique romance.

Polansky, a tech entrepreneur and investor, proposed to Gaga on April 1, 2024, during a rock climbing trip—a moment so unexpected that the pop star initially thought it was a prank. The couple first went public with their relationship in early 2020 when Gaga shared a cozy photo of them on a yacht. Over the years, they have maintained a relatively private relationship, though Gaga has occasionally gushed about how Polansky has brought a sense of “real love” into her life.

“I had never met anyone like Michael,” Gaga told Vogue in September 2024. “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.”

Their engagement ring is a show-stopper, worthy of the multi-Grammy-winning artist’s bold style. Designed by Sofia Jewelry, the custom piece features a large oval-cut diamond set on an 18-karat white and rose gold diamond pavé band, adorned with natural pink ombré diamonds and a hidden white diamond halo. According to Page Six, the breathtaking sparkler is valued between $500,000 and $2 million, depending on the size of the center stone.

Gaga revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that Polansky’s proposal was perfectly in line with his thoughtful and reserved personality. “He didn’t propose at the top of the climb,” she said. “We were just walking back to the room, talking, and he asked me if he could ask me. It was very Michael.”

When asked if he got down on one knee, Gaga laughed and replied, “No, he didn’t. But you know what? I’m a modern lady, I like what he did.”

The A Star Is Born actress debuted her engagement ring at the 2024 Venice International Film Festival while promoting Joker: Folie à Deux, where she stunned in a black-and-white polka dot dress while holding hands with Polansky. She later showcased the dazzling diamond on the red carpet at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

As Gaga and Polansky prepare for their future together, the couple continues to embrace a balance of privacy and celebration, with the singer frequently expressing gratitude for their relationship. “I think what I want my fans to know is that I’m just so happy,” she shared.
