The couple had been an item since February 2017, following seven months after her break-up from her previous partner, Taylor Kinney, 37.
Lady Gaga and Carino reportedly met at a Kings of Leon concert but kept their relationship out of the public eye for as long as possible.

Even though the duo supported each other publically, they never commented on their relationship status, much to their fans' dismay.
Six months after they met, Lady Gaga shared a rare photo of herself and Carino on Snapchat. It showed Carino holding her while the sun sets in the background.

Fans took it as confirmation that the duo was indeed in a relationship, but the pair didn't confirm rumor at the time.
A year after they first met, Lady Gaga also sported a ring on her ring finger, begging the question of the couple was secretly engaged.
