On the heels of her Golden Globe and Grammy wins — and just days before the Oscars, where she’s nominated for Best Actress — Lady Gaga split from Carino, her agent boyfriend turned fiancé of two years.
“Their friends knew they weren’t going to work out in the long run,” a source close to Carino told PEOPLE. “It always seemed Christian was more into the relationship than Gaga was.”
It came at an interesting time, too: as the singer recounted in her 2017 documentary, Gaga: Five Foot Two, it seems that when she has major career success, her love life suffers. “It’s like a turnover,” she lamented. “My love life has just imploded.”
Here, a look back at what she means.
Gaga was previously engaged to Chicago Fire star Kinney; they were together for five years. But shortly after she landed her role in A Star Is Born in 2016, the couple split.
“Me and Taylor are fighting, so that sucks,” she said in the opening scene of Gaga: Five Foot Two. “My threshold for bulls— with men is just — I don’t have one anymore. In relationships, you have to move together.”
After they split in the film, the singer broke down in tears as she alluded to the fact that her growing career might have contributed to the breakup.
“I did a movie and lose Taylor,” she added. “This is the third time I’ve had my heart broken like this.”
