Lady Gaga’s Baby’s Birth Was A Big Secret, To The Point ‘People Close To Her Felt Completely Blindsided’

The couple paused work this summer as they adjusted to parenthood after Gaga’s busy tour and film schedule, People reported.

  • On Friday, Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky announced they welcomed their first child together, though the couple has not publicly discussed the newborn and photos published in Page Six first showed them with a baby.
  • Gaga and Polansky first met in December 2019 through her mother, president of the Born This Way Foundation, who insisted on introducing them; they confirmed their engagement in July 2024.
  • Both took time off work this summer to be with their baby, with Polansky, 42, appearing 'lighter, happier' since the arrival, according to sources who told PEOPLE the couple 'both beam when they talk about being parents.'
  • Gaga told The Late Show With Stephen Colbert nearly a year ago that 'what I really want is to be a mom,' calling it her 'next starring role,' and told Entertainment Weekly in March 2025 that she was 'so excited to settle down and start a family.'
  • Despite new parenthood, Polansky continues leading Outer Biosciences, an AI and biology startup, while Gaga sits on the company's board; Gaga wrapped her Mayhem Ball Tour in April and released Mayhem Requiem via Apple Music in May.
