“It’s getting kind of embarrassing at this point”: Mesmerized Tom Cruise is Having a Hard Time Digesting Lady Gaga’s Engagement to Michael Polansky, Source Claims
- Tom Cruise’s reported crush on Lady Gaga was well-known but unrequited.
- Gaga’s engagement to Michael Polansky has hit the Hollywood star hard.
- Cruise’s history of romantic failures adds to his heartbreak even more.
Tom Cruise has been reportedly harboring a secret crush on pop sensation Lady Gaga. Looks like Mission: Impossible star’s romantic mission has hit a major snag—turns out, Gaga is not quite ready to be his leading lady!
Cruise has been allegedly seen as a man on a mission when it comes to her, hoping she’d remain single (perhaps imagining a Hollywood romance to rival his blockbuster hits). But now, the pop star has thrown a wrench into his plans with her engagement announcement.
An insider claimed that Cruise had been dreaming of a potential romance with Gaga for quite some time. He’s admired her from afar and even tried to charm her on various occasions.
Now that Gaga is officially off the market—engaged to businessman Michael Polansky—it seems Cruise’s hopes have been dashed. Despite his usual confidence and charm, it appears that even he can’t ignore the sting of unrequited love, especially when it comes to someone he thought he had a chance with.
Tom Cruise and Lady Gaga—A Romantic Connection That Never Was
Tom Cruise’s reported fascination with Lady Gaga wasn’t exactly a secret. Sources revealed that he’s been smitten with the pop sensation for years, long before he ever got a backstage kiss at one of her concerts.
Despite making a notable effort to woo the 38-year-old, including a sweet gesture to have her record a song for his Top Gun sequel, their chemistry didn’t quite ignite the way he’d hoped.
Cruise and Gaga did hit it off professionally during the recording of Hold My Hand, and there were whispers of a special connection. However, as Mother Monster’s romance with Michael Polansky blossomed, the Hollywood star’s hopes for a fairy-tale ending with her dimmed. As the source told In Touch Weekly:
It’s getting kind of embarrassing at this point, even someone with his overwhelming arrogance can take a blow to the heart.
Gaga and Polansky’s engagement (announced amid the glitz of the Paris Olympics), was allegedly like a final nail in the coffin for Cruise’s romantic aspirations. It seems his charm wasn’t enough to sway the Bad Romance singer’s heart, leaving him to wade through Hollywood’s tricky matchmaking waters.
Tom Cruise’s Love Life is a Series of Near Misses
Tom Cruise’s love life reads like a dramatic Hollywood script—full of twists and turns but lacking a happy ending. Despite being one of the biggest stars in Tinseltown, the 62-year-old has encountered a series of romantic misfires.
Insiders said Cruise often chooses partners who don’t quite match his passionate intensity, leading to a string of romantic setbacks. Gaga joins the ranks of other high-profile women who have, for one reason or another, not worked out with Cruise. From Shakira to Hayley Atwell, the Syracuse native’s reported love interests have often left him with a broken heart.
His recent reported attempts to rekindle a connection with Gaga (now thwarted by her engagement) add to his list of romantic misfires. Despite his charismatic public persona, it seems Cruise’s private love life remains as tangled as ever.
