Taylor Kinney and Lady Gaga were previously engaged

Taylor Kinney met Lady Gaga in 2011 when he was cast in the music video for her song “Yoü and I.” The couple’s steamy scenes on set led to real-life love quickly, and they started dating soon after filming ended.

“We had a good time. In a 2015 interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, the Chicago P.D. actor said about the video, “I think there was chemistry” (as reported by ABC News). “I remember that it was late. We shot until 4 or 5 in the morning, or something like that. We told each other what we knew. We kept in touch for a few weeks, and then that was it.”

Soon after they started going out together, the couple made their relationship public by posting pictures on social media and going to events together. Lady Gaga often talked about how much she loves the Shameless star. Kinney, on the other hand, didn’t say much about their relationship.

In an interview with Howard Stern in 2014, the “Poker Face” singer said, “He’s the right guy” (as reported by People). “That’s how I feel. I’m sure of it. I really can’t think of anyone else I’d rather be with than the person I’m with right now.”

On Valentine’s Day 2015, Kinney popped the question with a beautiful diamond in the shape of a heart. “On Valentine’s Day, he gave me his heart, and I said YES!” Lady Gaga wrote on Instagram that they were getting married.

Even though things looked good at first, Kinney and Gaga did not end up getting married. After almost a year and a half of being engaged, the couple broke up in July 2016. Lady Gaga said that their busy careers were to blame for the breakup, but that they were still close friends.
