“They were kissing as they spoke really close up,” a source said, adding, “Ironically, she had a table in the front near the sidewalk, so she was clearly okay with being seen. She seemed very happy when interacting with the guy she was with.”

“She seemed confident and in a good place,” a second onlooker said of the Oscar winner, who added that Gaga “looked amazing.”

He has an A-list resumé.

He works for Gaga.

Horton’s LinkedIn page shares that he’s worked as a monitor engineer for the star since November 2018, before the launch of Gaga’s Las Vegas Residency. The engineer has shared a few social media posts of the star on his private Instagram page since they began working together including a photo of her band’s audio equipment in March.
