Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky welcome their first child

American singer Lady Gaga and her fiancé, entrepreneur Michael Polansky, have become parents for the first time. The couple welcomed a daughter named Rose Bean Polansky on June 9, 2026, in Los Angeles. The child was born via a surrogate mother, although the couple has not disclosed the specific reasons for this decision.

Public interest in the singer’s personal life grew recently after she notably withdrew from the public eye for several weeks. On Sunday, September 13, 2026, the 40-year-old star was photographed by the media arriving in California on a private jet while carrying the newborn. The couple’s transition into parenthood follows years of their relationship becoming public.

Reports suggest that the choice of surrogacy comes amidst the singer's long-standing public struggle with fibromyalgia, a condition she has openly documented, including in her 2017 Netflix documentary, 'Gaga: Five Foot Two.' In that film and subsequent interviews, she discussed the chronic pain and exhaustion caused by the illness, leading to speculation that her health history may have influenced their decision to build their family in this manner. The family is currently settling into this new chapter of their lives following the confirmation of the birth.
