“Chromatica Ball” on Max. An incredibly successful Las Vegas residency. Landing the role of Harley Quinn in “Joker 2.” Leading the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games. Just when we thought Lady Gaga couldn’t have a better year, she announced her engagement.
This exciting news was confirmed by the singer herself during her stay in Paris for the most important event in sports. The lucky man is Michael Polansky, a tech entrepreneur she has been dating since 2020.
For those who have followed her from the beginning, this moment is significant, as she has been engaged twice before, only to have her heart broken. Remember actor Taylor Kinney?
Taylor Kinney’s age, height, movies and TV shows
According to his IMDb profile, Taylor Kinney was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on July 15, 1981, making him 43 years old. He stands at 5′ 11″ (1.80 m), a height considered standard for tall men.
He made his first steps into television in 2006 with “Fashion House,” the beloved nighttime soap opera that ran for 85 episodes. There, he portrayed Luke Gianni for 36 episodes, joining halfway through the show and becoming one of its central characters.
Since then, he has gone on to star in 28 credits, with some being quite a hit. The work he is most known for is Kelly Severide in “Chicago Fire,” a character he has played since the first episode and continues to portray 12 seasons and 252 episodes later!
You may also recognize him for Phil in Cameron Diaz’s 2014 romantic comedy “The Other Woman,” where he plays the actress’s love interest. In a completely different genre, you might have seen him in the 2016 horror film “The Forest” with Natalie Dormer, which stirred controversy for its insensitive approach to the Aokigahara forest.
Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney’s relationship timeline
Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney may not have dated for many years, but their romance was definitely intense. The two met while filming the singer’s music video for “You and I” in 2011, and began dating almost immediately.

After four years, they became engaged in February 2015, but quickly called the marriage off. Lady Gaga shared a post of them hugging, explaining that they were taking some time apart due to their busy schedules and inability to find a middle ground to be together. In the end, they decided to part ways. She wrote:
“Taylor and I have always believed we are soulmates. Just like all couples, we have ups and downs, and we have been taking a break. We are both ambitious artists, hoping to work through long-distance and complicated schedules to continue the simple love we have always shared. Please root for us. We’re just like everybody else, and we really love each other.”
What is Taylor Kinney’s net worth in 2024?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Taylor Kinney’s fortune in 2024 is estimated to be $8 million. This is quite an impressive figure, considering that Kinney does not have any brand endorsements and has primarily remained active through his role on “Chicago Fire.” In fact, the last time he starred in a project outside the “Chicago” universe was in 2018, for the movie “Here and Now.”
It is reasonable to assume that his wealth comes entirely from the show. After all, he is the lead of one of NBC’s most successful productions, which has consistently garnered over seven million viewers per season. As long as the series continues, he can maintain his luxurious lifestyle with ease.
Did Taylor Kinney get married?
Taylor Kinney married model Ashley Cruger in April this year. They began dating in 2022 and have since frequently posted about their relationship on social media, sharing their mutual love for motorsports, traveling, and golf. According to People, their wedding was a small celebration, with only close friends and family invited.
