According to the British newspaper The Sun, Lady Gaga is looking to get married in Italy.
The tabloid says that the pop star has invited the family of her boyfriend, 31-year- old actor and model Taylor Kinney, over to her gig in Italy in October. The singer will perform in Milan as part of her ‘The Born This Way Ball’ tour but is planning on spending time with Kinney and his relatives in Venice.
An anonymous source quoted in the paper says that Lady Gaga will take the opportunity to check out potential wedding venues on the trip: “Lady Gaga has been talking non-stop of her passion for Venice and how romantic it is.".
“She is hoping to visit lots of churches with Taylor. When she does get married it will be in Italy. Some of her close friends and family are also hoping to fly over, so this could well be it.”
Born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, the 26-year-old American songstress has Italian roots. Her father, New York restaurant owner Joseph Germanotta, originally comes from the village of Naso in Messina, Sicily. Such is Lady Gaga’s passion for the island that she has said she wants a child by artificial insemination and that a potential partner must share her Italian and Sicilian roots, telling Spain’s Radio Ibiza
in February this year: “I want a baby from an Italian – possibly Sicilian – donor.”
Perhaps true love has changed Lady Gaga’s mind as Taylor grew up in Neffsville, Pennsylvania.
