Lady Gaga - Lady Gaga 'On A Break' From Taylor Kinney Romance

The Poker Face hitmaker was first linked to The Vampire Diaries star in July, 2011, after he played her love interest in the music video for her single You And I.

They stepped out in public together for the first time over Christmas (Dec11) and, although Gaga refused to speak openly about the relationship, she admitted she was "very happy" in her love life.

But the singer allegedly decided to put the 10-month romance on hold shortly before she headed out to South Korea to kick off her latest world tour last week (ends27Apr12).

A source tells Us Weekly magazine the couple is "on a break", adding, "She will be touring non-stop until next year and has found she can't have a relationship at the same time. There's just no room for anything else. Her work is all-consuming."
