With just days before the release of her highly anticipated third studio album, "ARTPOP," Lady Gaga has reportedly split from her long-time boyfriend and "You & I" video co-star, Taylor Kinney, Radar Online reports.

“Taylor has told her she’s married to her career and he can’t deal with dating Gaga the megastar and all her obsessions and alter-egos,” an insider recently told The UK Sun. “He loves the cool down-to-earth girl but hardly gets to see her. Gaga never stops working — she writes songs in the shower and dreams up new outfits in her sleep.”

Gaga has indeed been busy lately promoting her new record, performing a number of concerts, donning a series of bizarre new ensembles and premiering her new promotional single, "Dope," which has shot to No. 1 on the iTunes charts. The Sun source claims that Gaga and Kinney's relationship had been "fizzling out for months," though the two may patch things up later this month.

"Gaga's hoping to meet up with Taylor when their schedules allow to talk things through," the insider said. "Taylor told her they need time apart and it's looking as if this might lead to a permanent split."

Photos from last night of the two kissing at the YouTube Awards, however, seem to contradict any claims of the famous couple parting ways.

And as for Gaga's beloved new project, having recently leaked online, "ARTPOP" has already received its first round of reviews, so far having been met with praise from critics and fans for its crazed, catchy choruses and experimental sound (including trap, which one reviewer warns the singer against dabbling in), a reviewer for The Atlantic dubbing it an "unmistakably a Gaga creation."

As for Kinney, the 32-year-old actor known for his roles in "The Vampire Diaries," "Bones" and "CSI: NY" is allegedly tired of not getting enough alone time with the megastar, though he appeared to be happy to cozy up to his girlfriend last night as the two put on a public show of affection.
