Lady Gaga's engagement to fiancé Christian Carino has apparently been called off

Tissues at the ready folks, because it appears that Lady Gaga and her fiancée, Christian Carino, have officially split.

A rep confirmed the news to People earlier today, saying "It just didn’t work out. Relationships sometimes end. There’s no long dramatic story."

The pair, who first began dating back in 2017, met the 49-year-old talent agent in the wake of her breakup from Taylor Kinney.

Fans first began speculating that Gaga and Carino were on the rocks when the A Star is Born actress arrived at the Grammys without her fiancée and her engagement ring. It's pretty sizeable, so when it's absent, you bet her fans are going to notice.

And when she won, for the song Shallow, he was also absent from her acceptance speech - a move that raised many eyebrows.

Given this, certain people have been speculating that Gaga and her co-star, Bradley Cooper, are in love. But before we get started on this, let's bear in mind that the actor has been in a relationship with model, Irina Shayk, since 2015, and they also have a child together.

We should also remember that Gaga once said that she would never consider dating Cooper, who directed and starred in A Star is Born.

When Howard Stern asked the singer if things could ever turn romantic, she replied: "Absolutely not! I already love everyone and the idea is, if you really love somebody, you put the most important thing first and that is the film. The truth is, what's most important to me is that we tell a story that touches the hearts of millions of people that come to see it."

Well, this is all very interesting...
