Lady Gaga has become a mother for the first time. The American pop star, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, and her fiancé Michael Polansky welcomed their first child together, according to Page Six.
The couple kept the pregnancy private throughout. Photos of Gaga and Polansky with their newborn were first published by Page Six on Friday, showing the 40-year-old singer carrying the baby in a wrap while walking with her fiancé. The child's gender, name, and exact date of birth have not been disclosed.
Gaga and Polansky have been in a relationship since 2019. They became engaged on April 1, 2024, though they kept the engagement secret initially. The couple made their engagement public months later when Gaga introduced Polansky to French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal during the Paris Olympics, referring to him as her fiancé. In March of this year, Gaga said the couple plans to marry "soon" but did not provide a specific timeline.
The singer has previously expressed her desire to become a mother. In December 2019, while discussing her plans for the following decade, Gaga stated, "I want to make more movies, I want to have babies." In November 2025, during an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," she called motherhood her "next starring role," and made similar statements in other interviews around that time.
Gaga, a Grammy Award winner, has maintained a relatively private personal life in recent years alongside Polansky, a technology entrepreneur. The couple's decision to keep details of the pregnancy confidential was consistent with their approach to their relationship.
