TMZ, a leading U.S. entertainment news outlet, reported on September 17 that pop icon Lady Gaga, 37, and her fiancé Michael Polansky, 42, have welcomed their first child, a daughter, via surrogate.
The birth certificate, exclusively obtained by TMZ, reveals that the couple named their newborn Rose Bean Polansky. The baby girl was born on June 9 in Los Angeles, California.
While the exact reasons for Lady Gaga’s decision to use a surrogate remain undisclosed, sources close to the situation noted her previous struggles with fibromyalgia, a chronic condition that causes widespread muscle pain and tenderness.
The “Poker Face” singer was recently spotted in California with her new bundle of joy. The sudden appearance of Gaga with a baby took fans by surprise, as she had never publicly announced a pregnancy, leading to the revelation that she had used a surrogate.
Over the years, Gaga has been vocal about her desire to become a mother. In a candid interview with The New York Times last March, the star confessed that she’s really looking forward to being a mom. She used to have a lot of fears about it, but she’s worked through those.
Born in March 1986, the 37-year-old Grammy winner first burst onto the music scene in 2008 with her chart-topping hit “Just Dance.” Since then, Gaga has successfully transitioned into acting, earning critical acclaim for her roles in A Star is Born (2018), House of Gucci (2021), and the highly anticipated Joker: Folie à Deux (2024).
Lady Gaga and tech entrepreneur Michael Polansky began their romance in 2019, with the couple announcing their engagement in 2024. As of now, no official wedding plans have been made public.
