Lady Gaga and her fiancé Christian Carino have ended their engagement.
The Grammy-winning singer’s rep confirmed the news to People magazine on Wednesday after weeks of speculation that the couple had split.
The rep did not provide further comment, but an unnamed source told People that the relationship ended without drama.
“It just didn’t work out. Relationships sometimes end. There’s no long dramatic story.”
A Star Is Born fans who had already been reading into electric on-stage performances with co-star Bradley Cooper were put on high alert when Gaga attended the Grammy Awards this month without Carino and without her engagement ring.

Then, on Valentine’s Day, instead of sharing a loved-up photo with her talent agent fiancé, the 32-year-old instead posted a photo of her new tattoo on Instagram.
It’s a tattoo which just happened to be both a tribute to her character in A Star Is Born and the moment Cooper decided she was perfect for the lead role of Ally.
There is no suggestion, however, that the 44-year-old actor and director had anything to do with Gaga and Carino’s split.
The formerly engaged couple last month attended the SAG Awards together, showing no outward signs of relationship strain.
Gaga confirmed she was engaged at Elle magazine’s Women In Hollywood Awards in October last year when she thanked her “fiance”.
However, speculation the pair were planning to marry began in late 2017, and was strengthened when she wore a conspicuous engagement ring to the Grammys in early 2018.
