Lady Gaga knows how to pick hot leading men. I mean, she did cast Alexander Skarsgård in her "Paparazzi" video. So when we spotted "Vampire Diaries" actor Taylor Kinney in her "Yoü and I" clip, we figured it was Mother Monster just living out our dreams of making out with hot guys.

But now comes word that she's living out our dreams in real life. Sources tell Peoplethat Gaga and Taylor have taken their on-screen love off-screen and are "hooking up" in real life.

The two met in July when Lady Gaga was shooting the video in Nebraska, and since then were spotted over Labor Day weekend in Mission Viejo, Calif., where they "were hanging out."

Radar Online further reports that the pair got their drink on at The Sneak Joint on July 4. "I couldn’t tell it was her at first," a source told the website. "It just looked like some hot couple making out, but then I realized it was Lady Gaga! Everyone went nuts! She was so sweet too—she even signed some autographs."

The following day they were spotted at Mission Boulevard and an eyewitness dished, "Her hair was a little messy. It definitely seemed like a 'morning after' situation. They are obviously totally into each other!" And then on July 6, they hung out on the beach. Hopefully all of Gaga's surf lessons came in handy!

A source further added, "It was just casual at first, but things are getting pretty hot and heavy."

Gaga has been linked on and off to her "Yoü and I" muse, New York bartender Luc Carl. No word on if they're more off than on these days. Also, Gaga's other man, Jo Calderone, has yet to weigh in on the romance rumors. Regardless, we're pretty jealous, Gaga.
