NEW YORK - Lady Gaga and her fiance, actor Taylor Kinney, are on a break.

A representative for the singer told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the couple is "taking a break." No more details were provided.

Gaga and Kinney, a star on the NBC series "Chicago Fire," were engaged last year on Valentine's Day. They met in 2011 on the set of Gaga's "You & I" video.

Gaga currently is working on her next solo album, which comes after 2014's Grammy-winning "Cheek to Cheek" with Tony Bennett and "ARTPOP," released in 2013. She won a Golden Globe this year for her role in the series, "American Horror Story: Hotel," and she was nominated at the Academy Awards for her song, "Til It Happens to You."

Kinney also was in the film "Zero Dark Thirty."
