'Chicago Fire' actor Taylor Kinney has spoken publicly about his romance with modern pop icon Lady Gaga and admitted that "for whatever reason, it works".

The pair have been dating for some time now and while Kinney has been very private up until now, he told USA's The Today Show that he's very happy and everything is going really well between them:

"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."

When asked if dating the 'Born This Way' superstar was strange in any way, Kinney simply revealed that he sees it as an ordinary relationship and they are both committed to making it work:

"I don’t have that outside view… I guess it’s normal. For whatever reason, it works. I'm a happy guy. I'm a lucky guy"

Earlier this month, one of Gaga's Twitter followers asked if she would ever consider making a cameo alongside her boyfriend in 'Chicago Fire' and she told them "only if Taylor rescues me".
