Lady Gaga split from fiancé Christian Carino confirmed after week of speculation

Lady Gaga has split with her fiancé Christian Carino, it has been confirmed.

Gaga, 32, and Mr Carino, 49, began dating in 2017. Gaga was previously engaged to actor Taylor Kinney.

A representative for the singer and actress confirmed the news of her breakup on Tuesday night. No more details were provided.

A source had told E! that Carino is “desperately trying to get back together” with the singer.

Speculation was rife after Gaga attended the Grammy Awards without her fiancé last Sunday, and was pictured without her engagement ring.

Gaga also failed to mention Carino when she won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for hit song Shallow from A Star is Born.

Gaga has a big week ahead: She is a double nominee at Sunday's Academy Awards for her work in A Star Is Born.

Her nominations include best actress and best original song for Shallow, which won two Grammys and a Golden Globe.

The Oscars will air live on ABC from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
