Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky Welcome Baby Rose Bean Polansky
Confirmed
In Short: Lady Gaga and fiancé Michael Polansky have welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Rose Bean Polansky.
Lady Gaga and her fiancé Michael Polansky have reportedly welcomed a baby girl named Rose Bean Polansky, according to a birth certificate obtained by TMZ. The couple has largely kept this side of their lives private, though Gaga was recently photographed out with their newborn in Northern California.
The name Rose Bean is a nod to both Gaga's personal music history and her body art. Rose is inspired by the classic Edith Piaf song 'La Vie En Rose,' which Gaga performed in the 2018 film 'A Star Is Born,' while Bean is a tribute to singer and activist Carl Bean, whose work influenced Gaga's hit 'Born This Way.
Before becoming a mom, Gaga spent much of the past year on the road supporting her sixth studio album, 'Mayhem,' which debuted atop the Billboard 200. Gaga and Polansky have not publicly commented on their daughter’s name, but Polansky shared that they hope to draw inspiration from friends Elton John and David Furnish's approach to parenting.
Gaga and Polansky were first linked in 2020 when they were photographed kissing at a New Year’s Eve party in Las Vegas. Their engagement was revealed in July 2024, while Gaga was in Paris preparing to perform at the Olympics opening ceremony.
Gaga has spoken openly about her desire to become a mother, noting that motherhood is something she has wanted for years. She expressed excitement over the role during an October 2025 appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, saying, 'I would like to do many things, and this is one of them.
