  3. Lady Gaga's Fiancé Proposed to Her With Blade of Grass AND a Huge Diamond

Lady Gaga's Fiancé Proposed to Her With Blade of Grass AND a Huge Diamond

Lady Gaga's Fiancé Proposed to Her With Blade of Grass AND a Huge Diamond

Lady Gaga revealed on Tuesday’s episode of the Howard Stern Show how her now-fiancé Michael Polansky proposed to her with a simple blade of grass — before augmenting the symbolic, but modest, token of his love with an oval-cut diamond ring said to be worth upwards of $2 million.

“He got me two rings and one of them was the blade of grass and that’s the first one he proposed with,” the diva told Stern. “I love them both, but the blade of grass, you can’t replace something that has a meaning like that.”

Polansky, a 41-year-old tech entrepreneur, was well prepared when he proposed to Gaga on April Fool's Day of 2024. The couple had been dating since 2019 and talked about their future together.

“He said to me, ‘If I ever proposed to you, how do I do that?'” Gaga told eonline.com earlier this month. "And I said, ‘Just get a blade of grass from the backyard and wrap it around my finger.’ And he did. He did that when he proposed.”

The editors of pagesix.com clarified that the blade of grass was actually cast in resin so it could be wearable. Gaga, 38, reportedly wears the resin ring above her massive oval-cut diamond ring, which features a center stone weighing approximately 10 carats with a value of $500,000 to $2 million.

Although the couple was engaged in April of 2024, the paparazzi didn't spy the ring until September at the 2024 Venice Film Festival. People.com reported that the large oval diamond is set on an 18-karat white and rose gold diamond pavé band accented with natural pink ombré diamonds. It also includes a hidden white diamond halo. (Ombré is a style where diamonds are used in a gradient effect, where the color transitions from light to dark or vice versa.)

The blade of grass proposal was the inspiration for a romantic ballad on Gaga's brand new Mayhem album. Appropriately titled "Blade of Grass" and co-written by Gaga and Polansky, the song includes the following lyrics: "Come on and wrap that blade of grass / Around my finger like a cast… / Come on and wrap that blade of grass / And we'll make it last."

“It’s a love song between the two of us," Gaga told usatoday.com, "but sometimes when we find love in our lives, it can also help us reflect on what it took to get there.”

She called the single "haunting and beautiful.”

“That song gets to last forever and hopefully one day our kids will hear it,” she told eonline.com.
