2019 may still be a young year but it's already been a banner one for Lady Gaga! Gaga has come off a triumphant Oscar-fueled run with her smash remake of A Star Is Born, and the songstress has already revealed she's been in the recording studio. While Gaga's already had a busy schedule and plenty of achievements to smile about this year, she has unfortunately experienced an event which would make even the most positive of Little Monsters feel sad. The "Shallow" singer announced the dissolution of her engagement to Christian Carino in February.

Wait a minute! Back up! Gaga's had an extremely busy year, so it's understandable if news of her engagement was overlooked. Rewind back to 2017; while it may only be two years ago, it feels like a lifetime in Gaga's world. Gaga met and began dating Christian Carino in February of that year, as Us magazine reports. Only a few weeks later the two were photographed at their first public event together. Talk about a whirlwind romance!

From countless events on the red carpet together to numerous live shows on Gaga's stadium tour, Christian Carino documented their relationship via his social media accounts. Despite Gaga's reputation for grand showmanship, she was relatively private and protective of her new love! And, despite Christian's love for photographing his lady, not much was known about the talent agent's personal life. Read on to get the lowdown on their brief but beautiful relationship!

20 Christian Was Gaga's Agent

Before Christian Carino was known for being one half of the dynamic duo, he encountered multiple giant entertainers through his job as a talent agent, so it's no surprise he knows a star when he sees one!

Of course, a star had already been born before Gaga met Christian, but he obviously worked her magic. According to Harper's Bazaar, Lady Gaga is a client of Christian's!

Christian's clientele isn't limited to Gaga. Creative Arts Agency also represents superstars of the likes of Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and J.Lo, according to Elle. Can you imagine a hypothetical dinner party?

19 Their Relationship Was A Touchdown

Little Monsters know Gaga has had good luck on the field! Before publicly announcing her relationship with Christian Carino, Gaga was the featured performer for the Super Bowl halftime show!

Not only was Gaga's performance a spectacle, it was the sight of Gaga's first public smooch with Christian. Days after the event took place, Us Weekly broke the news of their relationship when "he was spotted kissing her on the cheek before the Super Bowl LI Halftime Show in Houston."

Gaga did not hesitate to put her romance on full display! She and Christian were photographed taking sweet selfies together.

18 Both Parties Were Previously Engaged

If it seems like the public took a collective gasp when the news of Gaga's engagement to Christian Carino surfaced, it would probably be due to Gaga's well-known previous engagement to Taylor Kinney. The bride-to-be was set to walk down the aisle with Taylor, and then their breakup unfolded rather quickly and extremely publicly. What happened?

If it was any indication, Taylor revealed the couple hadn't set a wedding date in an interview with E!, and Gaga revealed during the filming of her Netflix documentary that she and Taylor were "fighting."

Christian Carino's divorce from Brooke Baldwin was finalized in 2015, as Metro reports.

17 Christian Planned A Summer Proposal

Lady Gaga's sense of style has certainly been unconventional throughout her career, and her engagement ring from Christian Carino was definitely no exception!

The color aesthetic for Gaga's bling mirrored the brightly colored patterns from her "Joanne" album; E! described the ring as a "6-7 carat pink sapphire with a diamond halo totaling 3-4 carats." If the ring's description sounds grand, it certainly was! E! went on to detail the type of sapphire, revealing that "Padparadschas are apparently one of the rarest and most unique sapphires in the world."

Gaga was rocking the ring "for months" before confirming her news!

16 Thank U, Next

Living in the public eye can be difficult when you're a big star like Lady Gaga! Gaga certainly tested the limits of celebrity gossip when she kept her engagement to Christian Carino quiet for a while; after all, the "Million Reasons" singer is known for wearing millions of fancy rings!

15 Couples Who Ink Together

Making the commitment to tie the knot is one of the most permanent commitments you can make and is most often symbolized by an engagement ring. Another extremely permanent symbol of eternal commitment is a tattoo.

When a couple decides to do both, the logic makes sense, especially when the couple decides to commemorate their love with a significant and shared symbol. If you're Christian Carino, your fiancée's face may do the trick!

According to Marie-Claire, "The tattoo in question features Gaga in pigtails" and the design was "discovered via a Gaga fan account."

14 Christian Wasn't By Her Side

We know about Gaga's show-stopping duet with Bradley Cooper during the 2019 Oscars and how she was famously seated between Bradley and his girlfriend Irina Shayk, but did you catch that someone else was noticeably absent from Gaga's side?
