Lady Gaga, Michael Polansky Welcome Baby Girl via Surrogacy and Her Name Has a Special Meaning

Grammy-winning singer Lady Gaga and her fiancé, tech executive Michael Polansky, have welcomed their first child together, a baby girl born via surrogate earlier this summer. The news comes after the couple kept the arrival private, spending quality time bonding with their newborn over the past few months. Lady Gaga is a Mom!

Lady Gaga Pregnancy Details Revealed
According to records and reporting obtained by TMZ, the couple's daughter, named Rose Bean Polansky, was born on June 9 at 11:19 PM PT in Los Angeles. The delivery was assisted by Dr Robert Katz, a prominent Los Angeles-based OB-GYN who has previously worked with other celebrity couples, including Ciara and Russell Wilson.
While the couple has not publicly disclosed the specific reasons for opting for a surrogate, Lady Gaga has spoken candidly over the years about her ongoing struggle with fibromyalgia—a chronic condition that causes widespread body pain, fatigue, and severe exhaustion. In her 2017 Netflix documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two, she opened up about the impact of her chronic pain, and in 2020, she noted during an interview with Oprah Winfrey that she dealt with continuous pain daily. Although Gaga shared in 2025 that her condition was better managed, she acknowledged still experiencing periodic "pain days."
Lady Gaga Michael Polansky Name Their Daughter Rose Bean Polansky
The newborn’s full name appears to hold deep personal significance for the artist. The name "Rose" connects to Gaga’s signature back tattoo depicting a long-stemmed rose, a tribute to her performance of Edith Piaf's "La Vie En Rose" in the 2018 film A Star Is Born. Meanwhile, "Bean" serves as a nod to the late LGBTQ+ activist and musician Carl Bean, whose message heavily inspired Gaga's landmark 2011 anthem "Born This Way."
Public confirmation of the child's arrival followed recent photographs showing Gaga cradling the swaddled baby while on a walk with Polansky in Los Angeles. Who Is Michael Polansky? All About Lady Gaga’s Fiance and Business Partner.
