Gaga and Polansky have reportedly taken time away this summer to focus on their newborn
Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky are embracing their new roles as parents after welcoming their first child together, with a source telling PEOPLE that the couple are overjoyed by the arrival of their newborn.
The couple have been keeping their family life private, but a source close to them says Gaga and Polansky are particularly happy as they settle into parenthood. “They both beam when they talk about being parents,” the source told PEOPLE.
Gaga and Polansky have reportedly taken time away from their professional commitments this summer to focus on their newborn. The singer, 40, and the tech entrepreneur, 42, have largely stayed out of the spotlight in recent months, making their new chapter a notably private one.
The couple were recently photographed together with their newborn during an outing in Northern California. However, they have not publicly revealed the baby’s name, sex or exact date of birth.
The arrival of Gaga’s first child fulfils a dream she has spoken about for years. The singer has repeatedly discussed her desire to become a mother, including in an October 2025 appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, when she described motherhood as her “next starring role”.
Gaga had also spoken about wanting children as far back as 2019, when discussing what she hoped her life would look like over the following decade. Her plans for motherhood have remained a recurring part of her conversations about her future, making the birth of her first child a significant personal milestone.
Her relationship with Polansky began around 2019, with the couple becoming more publicly linked in 2020. They have generally kept their romance away from the centre of Gaga’s enormous public profile while supporting each other’s careers and philanthropic work. Gaga confirmed their engagement in 2024 after introducing Polansky as her fiancé during the Paris Olympics.
Polansky has also worked alongside Gaga professionally. The entrepreneur has been associated with the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, while Gaga has continued her work with the Born This Way Foundation, which she founded to support young people and mental health initiatives.
Their new family chapter comes after a particularly busy period in Gaga’s career. The singer completed her Mayhem Ball tour in April 2026 after months of performances supporting her sixth studio album, Mayhem. She has subsequently maintained a lower public profile, allowing her more time away from the demands of her music career.
For Gaga, the transition into motherhood comes after years of openly expressing how much she wanted to have children. Now, she and Polansky are reportedly enjoying the experience away from the spotlight, with the couple choosing to keep details about their newborn private.
While neither Gaga nor Polansky has publicly shared further details about their baby, the source’s comments suggest the couple are fully embracing this new stage of their relationship as they begin life as a family of three.
