In recent outings, Lady Gaga has been spotted sans her engagement ring, and as it turns out, this meant that she has broken up with her beau Taylor Kinney.
Despite having moved in together and being in the midst of planning their wedding, the two have called it quits early this July. Although it is unclear who broke up with who, there have certainly been tell-tale signs of the two's parting.
For one, Lady Gaga appeared in the Met Gala alone and showed up to Malibu without her ring. Kinney has also been MIA in Gaga's Instagram lately, until she posted a photo of her and her beau after the break-up news surfaced, stating that they haven't completely broken up but have taken a "break" from their committed relationship.
However, just last Sunday, the "Bad Romance" singer was all smiles as she attended her goddaughter's baptism amidst her engagement split, according to People. Her goddaughter named Sistilia is the daughter of Brian Newman, her jazz bandleader and his wife Angie Pontani who is a burlesque performer.
Lady Gaga even took to her Instagram to share the event to her followers, expressing that she is "so proud" to be a godmother to "little angel Sistilia," noting that Brian and Angie are her friends from childhood in the Lower East Side. In addition to this, she showed that no heartbreak can get in the way of her career, as she proceeded to perform in the Democratic National Convention on July 28.
Like in any normal break up, the two parties are not the only ones affected by the event. US Magazine reported that this separation has also affected Kinney and Lady Gaga's respective family and friends. According to the magazine, "both their families are upset," and even Kinney's costars hope that they "get back together," because they miss having Gaga around.
It can be remembered that Kinney proposed to Lady Gaga on Valentine's Day of 2015, with a heart-shaped diamond ring. Shortly after, Lady Gaga shared that Kinney is "the right guy [for her]." The two met when Kinney played the role of Lady Gaga's love interest in the music video for her song, "You and I" back in 2011.
