Lady Gaga's Ex Taylor Kinney Marries Model Ashley Cruger 8 Years After His Split With the Singer

Lady Gaga's ex-fiancé, Taylor Kinney, is now married to model Ashley Cruger after two years of dating.

Eight years after Lady Gaga and Kinney called it quits, the Chicago Fire star wed his girlfriend. The pair started dating in 2022 and went public with their romance in March 2023.

The exclusive report from People confirmed the event, saying that Kinney and Cruger tied the knot on April 30 "in a small, private ceremony in Chicago." The 42-year-old wrapped up filming of his NBC drama's Season 12.

Cruger posted an update on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, May 14, sharing a photo of herself and Kinney cuddling together. She also uploaded another photo showing her husband carrying her on his back while Taylor Swift's "But Daddy I Love Him" played in the background.

The 35-year-old model added the text, "Mr. & Mrs. Kinney."

Kinney and Cruger have maintained a private relationship over the years, though the actor often gave her shoutouts on social media.

Kinney's marriage happened years after he and Lady Gaga ended their engagement.

The Chicago P.D. star popped the question to the "Always Remember Us This Way" singer on Valentine's Day in 2015 with a heart-shaped ring after four years of dating.

Speaking with Howard Stern before the proposal, Lady Gaga gushed about her then-man and their romance.

"I really can't imagine being with anyone other than who I'm with right now," she shared. "He is the right guy. I have that feeling. I just know it."

Lady Gaga and Kinney met on the set of her "Yoü and I" music video in 2011, and he reportedly went off-script by kissing the singer.

"I went up and I kissed her, and she didn't expect it, and they cut and she slapped me," Kinney told Andy Cohen in 2015. "It was just awkward. And the next take I just did it again."

The "Paparazzi" hitmaker also recalled the moment in her interview with Ellen DeGeneres.

"I've got these pins sticking out of my head and I'm wearing cork and I've got no hair and I'm bald," she said.

Lady Gaga added, "We were in the middle of this scene and I remember that he kissed me and it wasn't scripted for him to kiss me. I was sort of like, 'Uh, you know, 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."

Months after the filming, People released a report saying the pair were hooking up.

While Kinney is now married, Lady Gaga is also growing strong with her entrepreneur boyfriend, Michael Polansky.
