Lady Gaga and her fiance Taylor Kinney have confirmed they are on a hiatus from their five-year relationship.

A representative for the singer told The Associated Press they were "taking a break" but gave no other details.

The Poker Face singer and the actor have been engaged since Valentine's Day last year, having met in 2011 on set during filming of the video for her song You & I.
 
Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, is currently working on her next solo album. It follows Cheek To Cheek, her 2014 Grammy-winning record with Tony Bennett.
The musician has also won plaudits for her acting and recently collected a Golden Globe for her role in the series American Horror Story: Hotel.

Kinney, who stars in the US TV series Chicago Fire, also appeared in Zero Dark Thirty, the 2012 Academy Award-winning thriller about the assassination of Osama Bin Laden.
