Kinney and Gaga -- real name Stefani Germanotta -- met in mid-2011 while shooting the video for “You and I,†in which a shirtless Kinney tended to his lady in various incarnations, simulated sex with her and donned a white tux to marry her. Rumors that they were dating surfaced soon after.

“We were in the middle of this scene and I remember that he kissed me,†the “Poker Face†singer told Ellen DeGeneres in 2013. “And it wasn’t scripted for him to kiss me, and I was sort of like, umm, was that real or was that fake? And he just didn’t really say anything, and that was fine by me, and we just kept filming.â€
