Out in the open: The first photos of Lady Gaga and her boyfriend Taylor Kinney have emerged proving that they are a couple

Lady Gaga is known for being very good at keeping her love life a best kept secret - until now.
The first pictures of the 25-year-old singer and her boyfriend Taylor Kinney have emerged proving that they are very much a couple.
As they strolled along the beach in California with their arms around each other, Gaga looked like she didn't have a care in the world.

Wearing a black mini dress with a pair of lace up stilettos boots, the Marry The Night singer looked dressed down compared to her usual quirky style.
She completed her outfit with a man's over sized leather biker jacket and a matching pair of wayfarers.

Since the filming of the video earlier this year, the couple have apparently been inseparable, but have been careful not to be photographed together.
When asked about her relationship status back in October, Gaga said: 'You know I don't talk about my love life, but I'm very happy.'
The singer must be smitten after it emerged that she apparently slummed it in Kinney's low-key beach shack rather than checking into a luxury hotel.

Bad Romance: Kinney's ex-girlfriend Brittany Sackett claims that she was still going out with the actor when he struck up a relationship with Gaga

The actor's ex-girlfriend Brittany Sackett revealed to a U.S. magazine that the open-plan apartment is cluttered, cramped and is far from glamorous.
Kinney reportedly shares the beach shack with three male friends so it is unclear where Gaga would have slept if she stayed there.
Sackett also claimed that she found out about Kinney and Gaga's romance while she was still going out with him and referred to him as 'fame hungry.'

Gaga is also said to have viewed a $1.7million house in Kinney's home town of Pennsylvania recently.
It is unknown whether the pair spent Christmas Day with one another as Gaga was last spotted arriving in New York City on December 24.
But now that they've been photographed together for the first time, there's bound to be more public appearances in the near future.
