The 14-time Grammy winner, 39, opened up about her relationship with fiancé Michael Polanski during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, revealing intimate details about the man she’s enjoying.
When asked by the host to name her “favorite smell” as part of her famous “Colbert Question Box” segment, Gaga answered without hesitation: “Michael’s head.”

“Michael, do you wear cologne?” he asked the entrepreneur and technology investor.
Gaga immediately jumped in with a reply.
“No,” she said firmly, admitting that she was against adding more sprays. “I actually don’t like cologne,” she revealed, adding, “It’s my least favorite scent.”
Colbert nodded before the “Bloody Mary” singer emphasized. “It’s just a strong cologne…it’s not for me.”

A few weeks later, the pair went public with their relationship during a PDA-filled weekend in Miami leading up to the 2020 Super Bowl. At the time, Gaga shared a photo of the two cuddling on a yacht on Instagram, writing: “So much fun in Miami.”
