MANHATTAN — Lady Gaga is back with her ex-boyfriend, Luc Carl, a Lower East Side bartender who's an aspiring musician, self-proclaimed fitness guru and lover of gaudy, ’80s glam rock style, the New York Post reported Sunday.
Apparently, the couple's relationship transcends a shared predilection for spandex and leather.
"I wouldn't have been successful without him," Gaga recently told Rolling Stone about the 32-year-old bar manager of St. Jerome's on Rivington Street.
"I've never really loved anyone like I loved him. Or like I love him. That relationship really shaped me."
The couple, who broke up three years ago, were seen together last month at a Mets game, where Gaga notoriously flipped baseball fans the bird.
And according to the Post, they were recently spotted at St. Jerome's.
"She came to St. Jerome's about two weeks ago with Carl," a regular told the paper. "And she was wearing sunglasses at night."
The couple broke up because Carl was unfaithful and competitive about their respective careers, according to the paper. With the Drunk Diet blogger still searching for his own success, Gaga's fame was a source of contention.
"That's what eventually ended their relationship," a source told the paper.
