Savannah Guthrie, co-host of NBC's 'Today' show, recently recounted a surprising encounter with pop star Lady Gaga from 2014, during which Gaga accurately predicted the gender of Guthrie's first child. The anecdote resurfaced following news that Gaga and her fiancé, Michael Polansky, have welcomed their first baby.
During a segment on the 'Today' show, Guthrie recalled an interview she conducted with Lady Gaga while she was pregnant with her daughter, Vale. At the time, Guthrie had opted not to learn the baby's gender. "When I was pregnant with Vale and we didn’t find out if it was a boy or a girl, Lady Gaga came on and she said, 'I think you’re having a girl,'" Guthrie shared. When asked how she knew, Gaga reportedly replied, "She told me."
Guthrie's 'Today' show co-host, Jenna Bush Hager, expressed astonishment at Gaga's intuition. Guthrie humorously responded, "They had a psychic message in utero."
Savannah Guthrie and her husband, Michael Feldman, welcomed Vale in August 2014, followed by their son, Charles, in late 2016.
Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky recently became new parents, according to reports. While few details about the child, including its name or sex, have been publicly disclosed, the couple was photographed with a newborn in Northern California shortly after the news broke. Gaga, 40, and Polansky, 42, have been engaged since April 2024 and began their relationship in 2019.
The singer had maintained a low public profile since completing her latest tour, The Mayhem Ball, in April, and was last seen in August during a fan encounter. She and Polansky had reportedly been staying at her new $10 million mansion in Marin County.
Pregnancy speculation surrounding Gaga began in mid-2024, a few months after her engagement to Polansky. In October 2025, during an appearance on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' Gaga expressed her desire to become a mother, calling it her "next starring role." She also spoke with The New York Times in March 2025 about her excitement for motherhood, noting her past apprehensions and internal conflicts as she anticipated becoming a parent.
