( CNN ) -- Is the ring the thing ? Rumors are flying that Lady Gaga and her boyfriend , `` Chicago Fire '' actor Taylor Kinney , either have made things `` official '' with a commitment ceremony or are soon to head down the aisle . The talk heated up two weeks ago after actress Sophia Bush shared a photo on Instagram of Kinney wearing a ring on a significant finger . The post came complete with the hashtags # ThatsHisPersonalRing # NotForTheShow # EveryoneCalmDown . The Daily Star reported this week that Gaga and Kinney gathered friends and family for a small ceremony pledging their devotion to each other . Citing unnamed sources , the publication claims the couple plan to officially wed next year . Neither the singer nor the actor has commented on the reports . The singer and her beau -- who have dated since 2011 -- have managed to keep their relationship out of the limelight . She told Howard Stern in a 2013 interview that the pair are `` very protective '' of their romance . `` We treat each other with a lot of care , and we 're good to one another , '' she said .
Actor Terry Richardson is wearing a ring . He and Lady Gaga have dated since 2011 . The two have kept their relationship private .
