Lady Gaga tells fans how an actor stole her heart

POP diva Lady Gaga is getting married — to an actor she met making a video in which she wore her mother’s wedding dress.

The 28-year-old, who is known as much for her extravagant outfits as for her music, revealed the engagement in a picture showing a simple, heart-shaped ring that fiance Taylor Kinney gave her.

“He gave me his heart on Valentine’s Day, and I said YES!” Gaga said in a caption on the picture she shared with her 5.5 million followers on Instagram.

Gaga met Kinney in 2011 when filming a video in Nebraska. In a foreshadowing of the relationship to come, Gaga revealed that she wore her mother’s wedding dress for the video. It also showed Gaga — clad as a mermaid — having sex with Kinney.

He popped the question to Gaga, an Italian American whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, over a Valentine’s Day dinner at a New York restaurant owned by her parents, according to celebrity magazine Us Weekly.

Kinney, 33, has acted in a number of television shows and films.

He had a recurring role on TV’s “The Vampire Diaries” and played a Navy SEAL in “Zero Dark Thirty,” Kathryn Bigelow’s thriller about the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Gaga’s 2008 debut album “The Fame,” with its infectious dance sound, became an unexpected global smash hit.

Her success was fueled by the popularity of her song “Poker Face,” in which she hints at her bisexuality and boyfriends’ struggles to understand it.

She also teamed up with 88-year-old Tony Bennett for an album of jazz standards, “Cheek to Cheek.”
