For the first time in her career, singer puts on PDA for the paps

Lady Gaga has a new man in her life and, for the first time ever, she's no longer trying to hide him from the paparazzi. The singer has officially “debuted” her new beau, actor Taylor Kinney.

Hard to believe given how much media attention she gets for everything else, but Lady Gaga is quite private when it comes to the people in her personal life.

In previous interviews, she's confirmed she's also into women and that she and aspiring fitness guru Luc Carl had an on-and-off relationship for years. Nothing much besides that is known.

This makes the fact that she had herself papped with her new man all the more surprising. Without getting into a whole conspiracy theory here, it's probably safe to say her fans are happy for her.

Gaga and Taylor met on the set of “You and I,” TMZ reports. You might know him from the hit series “Vampire Diaries,” but you will also recognize him in the vid as the hunk who keep Gaga the siren-like creature trapped.

Word that they were dating first got out in the tabs in September but they were never confirmed. Until now.

“In one of the first pics of the couple in public, Lady Gaga strolled with her hot new 'Vampire Diaries' boyfriend Taylor Kinney in California recently,” TMZ says.

She was actually paying him a visit on the set of his shows.

Pictures of the two, available at the TMZ link, show them strolling casually dressed in biker fashion. They have their arms around each other and – as expected – Gaga is not wearing pants.

“The couple met on the set of Gaga's video for 'You and I,' where Kinney played her love interest. So far no signs of a bad romance,” TMZ further writes.

On the contrary actually, if one is to believe ongoing reports: word online has it that the two are already looking at houses together, having decided to take their relationship to the next level.
