The 24-year-old reportedly first dated Carl a few years ago but recently got back together with him.

A source said to U.S. magazine People: ‘Gaga’s first album is entirely about their relationship and her latest song, You and I, is about how they got back together. They’ve been in love for a while.’

People reportedly contacted the star’s rep about the rekindled relationship but there was no comment.
