Lady Gaga and her fiancé Michael Polansky have reportedly taken time off from work this summer to focus on their new baby. The couple, who exclusively confirmed the arrival of their first child on Friday, are said to be fully embracing their new roles as parents.
An insider told People that both Gaga and Polansky "beam when they talk about being parents," with Polansky described as appearing "lighter, happier." The family of three was recently spotted in Northern California, with the Grammy winner holding the infant while walking with Polansky.
This new chapter comes after Gaga, 40, expressed her desire for motherhood. In an October 2025 appearance on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," she referred to motherhood as her "next starring role." During a March 2025 interview on "Good Morning America," she reiterated her strong desire for family, stating she is a "family girl" who wants "marriage and kids more than anything." She recalled asking Polansky, 42, about his desire for marriage and children on their first date, to which he responded affirmatively.
Gaga and Polansky, an entrepreneur and investor, were first romantically linked in 2020. They made their relationship Instagram official that year. Gaga hinted at their engagement in 2024 while attending an Olympic swimming event, referring to Polansky as her "fiancé" to France's Prime Minister Gabriel Attal. Sources later confirmed to Page Six that the engagement occurred several months prior, with the couple sharing the news privately with close friends and family.
While specific details about the baby, including name, sex, and date of birth, remain undisclosed, the couple's focus on family has been a long-standing theme in their relationship. A source previously told People that they "love to have a family."
