Taylor Kinney has proclaimed that his relationship with Lady Gaga is "great".

The actor is said to have started dating the 'Born This Way' star in 2011 after he appeared in her music video for the song 'You & I'.

The American has rarely commented on the pair's relationship and details of their partnership are scarce.

However, in an interview with USA Today, Kinney said that he is very content with Gaga and appeared to suggest that the future is bright. He said:

"I don't think I've ever said anything publicly up till now. But I'm happy. I'm in a relationship, and I'm happy. Everything is great."

Gaga meanwhile recently said that Kinney prefers her body "curvier" after she was targeted in the tabloid press over apparent weight gain.
