Taylor Kinney, who any self-respecting little monster knows is Lady Gaga‘s hunky boyfriend, was on the TODAY show this week, promoting his new series ‘Chicago Fire,’ which is doing well in the ratings.

That’s probably partly due to the fact that she tweets about it and encourages little monsters to watch the show. That’s some homegrown, grassroots marketing and word of mouth promotion right there isn’t it?

Hosts Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford mentioned that Gaga was tweeting about the show, so that’s how they segued into asking Kinney about their relationship. So here it is, straight from the horse’s mouth.

“I think it’s great,” he said about her support of his new series. “She’s a girlfriend being proud of her boyfriend and she’s excited. She’s been on the set a few times.”

Kotb and Gifford were skeptical of couple’s relationship with such busy schedules, and probed Kinney about how the two are able to sustain romance. “She hasn’t said anything but [I think] she has a spaceship,” the charming actor said. “She can get from A to B quickly.”

Now that sounds like Gaga right there! It’s probably a spaceship with unicorns and lots of little monster drawings.

They also asked Kinney what dating a massive global pop star like is like, and if it can ever be normal, which he downplayed a bit. “I don’t know, I don’t have that outside view. I guess it’s normal, in that respect,” he said.

Normal usually isn’t a word in the Gaga vocabulary, but we’re glad she is in a healthy, normal relationship with a normal and super cute guy.

He continued, “I guess… for whatever reason it works, I’m a happy guy. I’m a lucky guy.” Notice the glint in his eye when he speaks about the Mother Monster? She’s in good hands, little monsters!
