Lady Gaga's split from her fiancé and boyfriend of five years Taylor Kinney, reported by TMZ yesterday, has now been confirmed by the singer herself. Her statement read, "Taylor and I have always believed we are soulmates. Just like all couples, we have ups and downs, and we have been taking a break," "We are both ambitious artists, hoping to work through long-distance and complicated schedules to continue the simple love we have always shared. Please root us on. We're just like everybody else, and we really love each other."
