Lady Gaga has welcomed her first child with fiancé Michael Polansky, according to multiple outlets, fulfilling a wish for motherhood the singer has spoken about openly for years. People and Page Six were the first to confirm the news on Friday, September 11, though the couple has not personally announced the birth, and details including the baby’s name, gender, and exact birth date have not been shared.
According to the Hollywood Reporter (suggested rel=”nofollow”), sources close to the couple confirmed the Grammy and Oscar winner and the tech entrepreneur are now parents. Page Six was first to report the news after photographers spotted the pair out in Northern California with their newborn, with Gaga carrying the baby in a sling.
Gaga, 40, and Polansky got engaged in July 2024, a moment the singer accidentally revealed herself when she was filmed introducing him as “my fiancé” to French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal during the Paris Olympics. She later explained on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” that Polansky proposed during a rock-climbing trip, recalling that he sweetly asked for her permission to propose before actually popping the question. The two were first linked publicly back in 2019 and have kept much of their relationship relatively low-key in the years since.
Motherhood is something Gaga has discussed candidly throughout her career. In a 2025 interview on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” she said that while she was open to many future projects, including a possible Broadway run, “what I really want is to be a mom. That’s my next starring role, I hope.” She has also called herself a “family girl” and spoke about envisioning starting a family as she entered her 40s.
The couple’s bond has also played out publicly in other ways. At the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, Gaga dedicated her Artist of the Year win directly to Polansky, telling the audience, “To my partner in all things, Michael. Creating this year with you was a beautiful, beautiful dream. You have been my partner every step of the way. I dedicate this to you, too, my love.”
As of now, neither Gaga nor Polansky has issued a personal statement confirming the birth, and representatives for the singer have not responded to requests for comment.
