Lady Gaga and her fiancé, Michael Polansky, have welcomed their first child, according to multiple reports. The couple has not officially shared the news yet, but photos obtained by Page Six show them out in Northern California with a baby in tow. Gaga was seen wearing the newborn in a sling during the outing. People also reported the arrival of the baby after Page Six first published the news.
No further information about the baby’s gender or birth date has been revealed at this time, according to Billboard. This marks the first child for Lady Gaga and the first child the couple has welcomed together.
Billboard reached out to Gaga’s representatives for confirmation but has not received a response yet. Gaga and Polansky did not announce their engagement publicly either. The singer only referred to him as her fiancé in July 2024. Later that year, she confirmed Polansky had proposed months earlier, in April 2024. She shared details of the proposal during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel. Gaga said he proposed during a rock-climbing trip. She described how they were walking back to the room and talking. Michael asked if it was okay for him to propose before he proposed. Gaga later revealed that the proposal took place on April Fools’ Day.
The couple began dating publicly in early 2020 after Gaga posted a photo on Instagram. Gaga made the post during the Super Bowl with the caption, ‘We had so much fun in Miami.’
She has kept a low public profile since wrapping her The Mayhem Ball tour in April. Gaga and Polansky have been together for several years now, though they didn’t make their relationship public until February 2020. They attended the UK premiere of Joker: Folie à Deux in London in September 2024. The couple also made their red carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival earlier that year.
Gaga said she thought Polansky was joking when he proposed on April Fools’ Day. She later confirmed that the proposal was real and not a prank.
Gaga and Polansky first met in 2019 at a birthday party for Napster cofounder Sean Parker. She said she had asked whether Polansky would be at the event and then looked for him at the party. They talked for hours after meeting at the party. Gaga’s mother Cynthia Germanotta had met Polansky earlier and encouraged her daughter to meet him.
Gaga has often spoken about her love for Polansky in interviews and on social media. She called him the love of her life during an April 2020 interview with MSNBC’s Morning Joe. In March 2021, he surprised her with a large flower arrangement for her birthday. Gaga shared the moment on Instagram with a message of love.
The couple’s relationship became more visible after Gaga stepped out wearing a large diamond ring in April 2024. They have also appeared together at major film premieres and award shows.
Gaga spoke about her hopes for parenthood in an interview with Elle in January 2025. She said family is like the roots of a tree that grow long and sometimes become tangled or full of water. She expressed her desire to raise children who forge their own paths in life. She added that she wants her kids to understand what her artistry means to them on their own terms. She emphasized that she does not want to shape how they think about her. Gaga and Polansky also discussed the importance of letting children be themselves. She said it’s an intense thing for kids coming into the world.
Gaga gave a special shoutout to Polansky during the 2025 VMAs. She called him her partner in all things and said creating music with him was a beautiful dream. Polansky also worked with Gaga on Mayhem and received songwriting and production credits connected to the album.
The couple has been keeping their personal life private for years. They have not shared much about their relationship beyond public appearances and social media posts.
