Lady Gaga welcomes her first child with fiancé Michael Polansky

The couple have been together since 2020, and got engaged in 2024 The post Lady Gaga welcomes her first child with fiancé Michael Polansky appeared first on NME.

Lady Gaga has reportedly welcomed her first child with her fiancé, Michael Polansky.

The couple recently became parents, as per reports from Page Six, which obtained photos of the family of three on a walk together in Northern California. Details including the baby’s name, sex and date of birth, are not known at this time.

NME have reached out to Gaga’s reps for comment.

Gaga confirmed that she was engaged to Polansky – a tech entrepreneur and venture capitalist – in July 2024, when she referred to him as her “fiancé” during a meeting with the French prime minister at the Paris Olympics.

In other news, earlier this year it was revealed that Gaga had scored one of the biggest pop tours ever with ‘The Mayhem Ball’.

On April 13, Gaga wrapped up the final show of the tour, which spanned 12 months across five continents. According to Billboard Boxscore, the tour grossed $419.5 million and sold just under two million tickets.

NME gave the show a glowing five-star review. “Her capacity for ideas and invention comes to life on the stage,” it read. “Never one to hold back, the theatrical pop auteur is in world-building mode, creating a fantastical, camp horror universe within the arena that sees her do battle with another version of herself, at times flanked by skeletons, witches and plague doctors.”

The ‘Mayhem Ball’ followed its namesake album, which became Gaga’s eighth to earn a Grammy win. It earned four stars from NME, with a review noting that, “ultimately, ‘Mayhem’ feels like a great Gaga album because it’s just so much fun.

“At times, it’s a bit like reconnecting with an old friend who makes sense even when they seem to be chatting nonsense. Seventeen years after she broke through with ‘Just Dance’, Lady Gaga remains pop’s foremost agent of impeccably crafted chaos.”

The record landed at number 19 on NME’s list of the best albums of 2025, while  ‘Abracadabra’ was named the number 20 song of 2025.
