Lady Gaga welcomed her first child with Michael Polansky on September 11, 2025
Lady Gaga wants her daughter to have a “normal childhood.”
On September 11, it was reported that the 40-year-old pop megastar and her 42-year-old entrepreneur fiancé Michael Polansky secretly welcomed their first child together and Gaga is already making plans to keep their family life as private as possible.
A source told the New York Post’s Page Six, “Gaga and Michael have really been enjoying their little family bubble. They’ve started taking Rose on little outings together, but for the most part, they’re keeping things very private.”
“[Gaga is] fiercely protective of her daughter and very particular about who she allows into their inner circle and around the baby,” the insider mentioned, adding, “She has always valued her privacy, but that’s taken on a whole new level now that she’s a mom.”
“She wants Rose to have as normal a childhood as possible, away from all the attention that comes with her fame,” the source spilled to the outlet.
They further mentioned, “Gaga has always been such a strong, powerful woman, but becoming a mom has brought out this incredibly soft, emotional side of her. She’s embracing every moment of it, and the people closest to her can see just how much this new chapter means to her.”
A birth certificate obtained by TMZ recently revealed the newborn's name is Rose Bean Polansky, and she was delivered by Dr Robert Katz on June 9 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles.
An insider told PEOPLE that Rose may have been inspired by Edith Piaf's song La Vie En Rose, which Gaga covered in the 2018 romantic musical film, A Star Is Born, while Bean could have been a nod to singer-and-activist Carl Bean, who inspired her 2011 smash-hit track Born This Way.
The insider added that "Michael seems lighter, happier", and both Lady Gaga and her fiancé "took time off of work this summer to be with [the] baby."
