“Happy birthday to my honey,” her caption began. “I hope 42 is your best year. You’ve done so much in 42 years, where you’re so proud of you every day. And I’m so grateful that you’ve come to the world, it was the most special day.”
“This is my favorite day of the year! A long walk on a refreshing, rainy day, with sweet birthday smiles and lots of laughter and angel food cakes in the background with chocolate sauce.”
“Even this goat knows that your birthday is a happy day for me,” she wrote. “I love you.”

Her homage to Polanski comes a few weeks after he honored him when he accepted the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards Artist of the Year on September 7th.
The next day, she wrote a Heartfelt Instagram message, describing the couple’s creative collaboration on their sixth album, Mayhem.
“I dream of this album and plan, and build all my visions with you. It was an experience I couldn’t imagine talking endlessly about what we’ll create and do for monsters,” the singer wrote, adding, “You have your creative partnership of our art, business and love – the love I didn’t know.”

Gaga previously said it was Polansky who went back to pop music’s “Joy” to leaned her, and inspired her latest album. He has been praised as a writer on many tracks, including “Illness” and “Vanish into You.”
At a stop on the Los Angeles tour in July, the Grammy winner also cried out, calling him the “love of my life.”
Gaga first revealed his engagement to Polanski at the Summer Olympics in Paris in July 2024. Observing the swimming event alongside the entrepreneur and French Prime Minister Gabriel Atal, she introduced Polanski as “my fiancee.”

The born actress also told the magazine that she was “very happy” in her relationship with Polanski, who was first romantically linked in 2020.
“I’ve never met anyone like Michael,” she gushed. “He’s very clever and very kind. And his life and my life are very different. He’s a very private man and he’s not with me for any reason other than that we’re right with each other.”
