Lady Gaga and her fiancé, Michael Polansky, have welcomed their first child, according to reports. The couple was recently seen with their baby in Northern California.
Polansky, 42, is an entrepreneur with a background in investment and venture capital. He co-founded Outer Biosciences, a skin health company, with Gaga in 2022. He is also involved with investment firms Avos Capital Management and Hawktail, and serves on the board of Gaga's cosmetics brand, Haus Labs.
Beyond his business ventures, Polansky has a significant philanthropic history. He was instrumental in the creation of the Parker Foundation alongside Sean Parker, co-founder of Napster and Facebook. Polansky has served as executive director of the foundation since its inception in 2025, focusing on life sciences, public health, and civic engagement. He is also a board member of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy.
Gaga, 40, and Polansky are noted to have a shared passion for charitable work. They collaborated on the "One World: Together at Home" concert in 2020, and a source told People in 2021 that they "love working together on charity projects" and "want to help out where they can."
Polansky attended Harvard University from 2002 to 2006, earning a degree in applied mathematics and computer science. He was born and raised in Minnesota and now resides in San Francisco.
In March 2025, Gaga shared on "Good Morning America" that Polansky expressed a desire for marriage and a family early in their relationship. She stated that on their first date, she asked him about his intentions regarding marriage and children, to which he responded affirmatively.
Gaga also revealed in a 2024 interview with Vogue that her mother met Polansky through philanthropic work before Gaga did. Her mother reportedly told Gaga that she believed she had met her future husband.
Gaga and Polansky were introduced at Sean Parker's birthday party in September 2019. Polansky recalled being struck by Gaga's warmth and curiosity about his life in Minnesota.
Recently, singer Rebecca Black mentioned that her song "Michael" was inspired by Gaga's fiancé, though the lyrics are not specifically about him. Black stated that the song emerged from discussions about Polansky's presence in Gaga's life.
