Lady Gaga announced on Instagram this week that she and long-term boyfriend, Taylor Kinney are breaking up following their much talked-about engagement last year.
"Taylor and I have always believed we are soulmates. Just like all couples we have ups and downs, and we have been taking a break. We are both ambitious artists, hoping to work through long-distance and complicated schedules to continue the simple love we have always shared. Please root us on. We're just like everybody else and we really love each other," she posted on her page.
The announcement come up following the songstress' reported absence in Kinney's 35th birthday last week in Malibu and the absence of the heart-shaped ring in Gaga's finger while she is in Cabo this week.
It was also noticed that the couple was rarely photographed together in recent months.
Despite the announcement, fans of the couple were still rooting for a second chance in 'Tayga' with lots of netizens spreading a Twitter campaign with the hashtag #RootingForTayga.
Previously, it was rumored that the singer whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta and Kinney had a secret marriage last March.
On Valentine's Day last year, Gaga and Kinney made headlines as the latter proposed to his girlfriend of five years while presenting the heart-shaped diamond ring.
During an interview with Howard Stern, the Poker Face hitmaker proclaimed her love saying, ""I really can't imagine being with anyone other than who I'm with right now. He is the right guy. I have that feeling. I just know it."
Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney met on the set of her video for You and I in 2011.
Meanwhile, questions on who is to take care of their two French bulldogs, Koji and Miss Asia Kinney also came up in the heights of the split.
