JUST IN: Double Celebration for Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky—Pop Superstar and Tech Entrepreneur Announce Their Engagement Alongside the Joyful News of Expecting Their First Child

Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky Celebrate Engagement with Surprise Pregnancy Announcement: A New ‘Little Monster’ Is on the Way

April 04, 2025 – Lady Gaga, the queen of reinvention, has just unveiled her most thrilling chapter yet: she’s engaged to longtime partner Michael Polansky and expecting their first child together. The Grammy-winning superstar and the tech entrepreneur shared the double dose of joyous news in a dazzling announcement on Friday, sending fans into a frenzy and proving once again that Gaga’s life is as unpredictable as her iconic performances.

The couple broke the news with a stunning Instagram post featuring Gaga, 39, flashing a massive diamond ring while Polansky, 41, rested a hand on her subtly rounded belly. “He put a ring on it, and we’re adding a little monster to the family,” Gaga captioned the black-and-white photo, a nod to her affectionate nickname for her fans. Polansky, typically more reserved, chimed in with his own post: “She said yes, and now we’re three. Couldn’t be happier.”

The engagement and pregnancy reveal mark a triumphant moment for Gaga, born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, whose romance with Polansky has been a steady undercurrent amid her whirlwind career. The pair first sparked dating rumors in early 2020 when they were spotted kissing at a New Year’s Eve party in Las Vegas. Since then, they’ve kept their relationship relatively low-key, with Gaga occasionally gushing about her “best friend” and “the love of my life” in interviews.

Sources close to the couple say the proposal happened during a quiet getaway in late March 2025, with Polansky popping the question on a secluded beach at sunset—a far cry from Gaga’s usual over-the-top aesthetic. “Michael knows her so well,” an insider told Us Weekly. “He wanted it to be intimate and meaningful, just the two of them. She was completely surprised—and then even more shocked when she found out about the baby.”

Gaga, known for hits like “Bad Romance” and “Shallow,” has long been open about her desire to start a family. In a 2021 interview with InStyle, she hinted at her dreams of motherhood, saying, “I can’t wait to have kids someday. I want to be a mom who still creates and inspires.” At the time, she was fresh off her Oscar-nominated role in House of Gucci and her second collaborative album with Tony Bennett, Love for Sale. Now, with Polansky by her side, that vision is coming to life.

The pregnancy, which sources say is in its early stages, adds an extra layer of excitement to the engagement news. “They weren’t planning this so soon, but it’s the best surprise,” the Us Weekly source added. “Gaga’s over the moon—she’s already calling the baby her ‘little monster’ and joking about writing lullabies.” Fans have taken the nickname to heart, flooding X with messages like, “A new Gaga baby to join the Monster family? I’m crying!” and “Mother Monster is becoming a literal mother—2025 is wild!”

Polansky, a Harvard-educated tech investor and co-founder of the Parker Foundation, has been a grounding force for Gaga. The couple weathered the COVID-19 pandemic together, isolating in her Malibu mansion, and have since been spotted at charity events and cozy date nights. Their bond deepened in 2024 when Gaga joined Polansky at a Silicon
