Lady Gaga and her fiancé, Michael Polansky, have welcomed their first child together, according to reporting by Page Six. The Grammy-winning singer, 40, and the entrepreneur, 42, were spotted in public with a newborn baby in Northern California, marking the couple’s first public appearance with their infant.
Public Outing in Northern California Confirms Birth
According to Page Six and the Daily Mail, Lady Gaga was photographed holding a newborn infant against her chest in a baby sling during a stroll in Northern California. The singer wore a loose-fitting gray cardigan, baggy pajama pants, and black loafers while displaying her large diamond engagement ring. Polansky accompanied her in shorts, a hoodie, and a baseball cap. The couple has been residing quietly at a $10 million home in Marin County, according to Daily Mail reporting.
Months-Long Public Absence Preceded the Announcement
The birth follows a prolonged period away from the public eye for the artist. Gaga, whose legal name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, had not been seen publicly since August, when she appeared in an Instagram selfie with a fan in Northern California. Her last major public appearance occurred on April 20, 2024, at the New York City premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2, following the conclusion of her tour, The Mayhem Ball, in April.
Speculation regarding a potential pregnancy circulated intermittently throughout 2024 and 2025. In June 2024, Gaga addressed fan rumors sparked by her appearance at her sister Natali Germanotta’s wedding in Maine, posting a TikTok video with the caption, “Not pregnant – just down back cryin at the gym.” However, during an October 2025 appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Gaga spoke openly about her future goals, telling host Stephen Colbert that motherhood was her “next starring role” after being asked if she planned to continue acting or performing on Broadway.
Relationship Timeline and Engagement
Gaga and Polansky began dating in 2019 and officially announced their engagement in April 2024, though sources indicated the proposal took place in March 2024. Representatives for the singer have not yet responded to requests for comment regarding the baby’s name, sex, or exact birth date, according to Daily Mail reporting.
