This is no perfect illusion. Lady Gaga's finally found her happily ever after!
The pop music sensation is set to wed Christian Carino, she revealed during an acceptance speech made at Elle's 25th Annual Women in Hollywood Celebration. Gaga and the successful talent agent embark on their engagement after dating for almost two years.
Gaga was previously engaged to Chicago Fire star Taylor Kinney, and in her documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two, she addressed moving on from their five-year relationship with a new outlook on love.
"I'm just at a different time in my life now, where I just feel like my threshold for bulls--t with men is, just—I don't have one anymore. I don't know if it's cause I'm 30, and I feel better than ever, you know?" Gaga reflected in the Netflix special. "All my insecurities are gone. I don't feel insecure about who I am as a woman. I'm not embarrassed or ashamed of what I have."
So as the six-time Grammy winner embraces the next chapter of her personal life, we're looking back at the road she took to becoming Carino's fiancée. From the get-go of their relationship, it's clear Gaga's man has never strayed from being there throughout her highest highs and lowest lows across the past year.
Congratulations, you two!

Swoon! During a September 2017 concert stop in New York City, Gaga admits she's in love with Christian after roughly eight months together. "When I went backstage, Christian was by the stairs making sure I was OK," the songstress said, as reported by Page Six. "The best part about being in love with someone is having them there to catch you if you fall."
Months after losing her dear friend to cancer, Gaga thanks Christian for giving her the strength to recognize her birthday. She writes on social media in early October, "After rollin around on the couch feeling sad with the help of some of my #grigiogirls and a very special someone I managed to dress up and feel better in a beautiful pink sequined dress generously gifted to me from @oscardelarenta Sonja would want us to celebrate her Birthday."
"So we are," she adds. "Dressed in Pink and handing out pink chocolate kisses for #breastcancerawareness"
