Lady Gaga and her fiance Michael Polansky have secretly welcomed their first child together.

The 40-year-old pop megastar and the 42-year-old entrepreneur “beam when they talk about being parents”, a source told People magazine.

“Michael seems lighter, happier”, the source said, adding the couple “both took time off of work this summer to be with [the] baby”.

Last Friday, The New York Post‘s “Page Six” shared pictures of Gaga and tech investor Polansky on a family walk in Northern California.

The Born This Way hitmaker was cuddling their bundle of joy in a baby carrier. It was the first time she and Polansky had been seen in public in several weeks.

Representatives for Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, are yet to make any public confirmation of the new addition. The baby’s name, date of birth, and gender have not been made public,

However, Gaga has previously spoken many times of her desire to become a mother.

“I would like to do many things. All of these things are open. But what I really want is to be a mom. That’s my next starring role, I hope,” she said in 2025 during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

“I will say I am very excited to have kids. I look forward to being a mom. Isn’t it incredible what we can do? We can hold a human inside and grow it. Then it comes out, and it’s our job to keep it alive,” she told InStyle in 2020.

The 16-time Grammy winner told Elle.com: “Family – it’s like the roots of the tree. They grow long, and sometimes they’re mangled, and sometimes they’re full of water, and sometimes they’re thirsty.

“I would want my children to understand that whatever my artistry means to them is totally up to them. I would never actually want to shape it or tell them how to think about me,” she said.

“My kid might one day say, ‘Mom, why do you do these things? I saw a funny video of you dressed up’. Most certainly that will happen. And you know, maybe it’s OK to say, ‘What do you think?’.”

Gaga and Polansky were first linked in 2020 when they were photographed kissing at a New Year’s Eve bash in Las Vegas. They made their relationship Instagram official after being spotted together at the 2020 Super Bowl in Miami.

The pair quarantined together during the Covid-19 pandemic and Gaga revealed they were engaged when she introduced him as her “fiance” to the then-French prime minister Gabriel Attal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

“Page Six” has also reported the couple have since married, but that has not bee separately confirmed.
