Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky have quietly entered a brand-new chapter, and details that were kept private for months are now beginning to emerge. After news broke that the couple had welcomed their first child, a birth certificate has revealed information fans had been waiting to learn — including their baby girl’s name and the exact date and place of her birth.

The latest revelations also bring fresh attention to Gaga and Polansky’s relationship, their decision to keep their family life largely out of the spotlight, and reports surrounding how their daughter was welcomed into the world. But while some details are established by official documentation, other parts of the story remain based on reporting rather than statements from the couple themselves.

Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky Welcome Their First Child

The couple’s first baby is a girl named Rose Bean Polansky, according to a birth certificate obtained by TMZ.

The document identifies June 9, 2026, as Rose’s date of birth and records that she was born at 11:19 p.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Official birth detail	Information
Baby’s name	Rose Bean Polansky

Time of birth	11:19 p.m.
Place of birth	Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles

The news comes after Gaga and Polansky had managed to keep much of their journey into parenthood away from public view.

The pair became engaged in 2024, but when their first baby news emerged earlier this month, they had not publicly revealed their child’s sex, name or specific birth details. TMZ later reported that the two remain engaged rather than married, adding another layer of interest around the couple’s private family life.

Why Did Lady Gaga Name Her Daughter Rose Bean?

The name Rose Bean Polansky has immediately drawn attention because both parts of it have possible connections to Gaga’s musical history.

However, there is an important distinction: neither Gaga nor Polansky has publicly confirmed the meaning behind their daughter’s name.

The first name, Rose, has been linked to Gaga’s connection with “La Vie En Rose.” The singer performed the song in the 2018 film A Star Is Born, and she has a large rose tattoo running down her back commemorating the performance.

Gaga’s rendition of “La Vie En Rose” is also included on the official A Star Is Born soundtrack.

The middle name, Bean, has been reported as a possible reference to singer and activist Carl Bean, whose work inspired Gaga’s song “Born This Way.”

That connection, however, remains an interpretation from reporting. It has not been publicly confirmed by Gaga or Polansky as the reason they chose the name.

For that reason, the reported links to “La Vie En Rose” and Carl Bean should be understood as possibilities rather than established explanations from the parents.

Rose Was Born Months Before Fans Learned the Details

Perhaps one of the most striking details is the timing.

Rose was born on June 9, 2026, meaning Gaga and Polansky had already become parents several months before the wider public learned the details in September.

PEOPLE confirmed on September 11 that Gaga and Polansky had welcomed their first child. At that point, however, the couple had not publicly disclosed the baby’s sex, name or exact birth information.

TMZ’s subsequent report, published on September 17, supplied those details after obtaining the birth certificate.

The timeline also helps explain how the couple were able to maintain so much privacy around the arrival of their daughter.

PEOPLE reported that Gaga had stepped back from public life after her tour ended in April. A source said she and Polansky had taken time away from work during the summer to spend time with their baby.

One source close to Gaga told PEOPLE:

“She always wanted to be a mom. This was something very important to her,”

Another source said:

“was ready to slow down after her tour.”

The source also said Gaga was enjoying time away from public attention with her baby.

Lady Gaga Was Recently Seen With Her Daughter

Despite the couple’s efforts to keep their family life private, the first widely circulated glimpse of Gaga with her newborn has now emerged.

Gaga was recently photographed holding her daughter close to her chest while walking with Polansky and a friend in Northern California. TMZ reported that the couple had been spending private family time away from the spotlight.

The photographs appeared shortly before Rose’s name and birth details were revealed, making them the first widely circulated images of Gaga with her newborn.

PEOPLE also reported that Gaga and Polansky have been enjoying their new lives as parents.

One source said:

“both beam when they talk about being parents,”

Another source described Polansky as being closely involved with the baby.

The reports paint a picture of a couple who have been intentionally keeping these early months focused on their family rather than public attention.

Dr. Robert Katz Delivered Gaga and Polansky’s Daughter

The birth certificate also identifies Dr. Robert Katz as the doctor who delivered Rose.

Katz is a Los Angeles obstetrician who has previously worked with celebrity clients. TMZ noted that he was also the doctor who helped Ciara and Russell Wilson welcome their daughter, Sienna.

The identification of Katz comes directly from the birth information reported by TMZ. It does not provide or establish any additional medical details about Gaga, Polansky or their daughter.

That distinction matters because the birth certificate establishes specific information about Rose’s birth, while it does not provide explanations for the couple’s personal reproductive decisions.

Reports Say Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky Used a Surrogate

A separate TMZ report published on the same day as the baby’s name reveal reported that Gaga and Polansky welcomed Rose via surrogate.

TMZ said the reason for the use of a surrogate was not known.

Neither Gaga nor Polansky has publicly explained the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy or publicly commented on the surrogacy report.

As a result, any speculation about why the couple chose surrogacy should not be treated as established fact.

The birth certificate establishes Rose’s name, birth date, birth time and place of birth. It does not, by itself, establish the personal reasons behind the couple’s reproductive decisions.

Gaga Has Talked About Motherhood for Years

For Gaga, becoming a mother is connected to something she has openly discussed for years.

In December 2019, she spoke about children as part of her long-term plans, saying:

“I want to do more movies. I want to have babies.”

She returned to the subject in 2025 during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where Gaga described motherhood as her “next starring role.”

During a 2025 interview with Howard Stern, she also discussed whether becoming a mother could change her relationship with the spotlight.

Asked whether she would step away from public life after becoming a mother, Gaga said she was unsure what her life would look like, while stressing the importance of her future child’s wellbeing.

Gaga said:

“Disappear? I don’t think so. But look, I think music will be a part of our child’s life,”

She also said she wanted her child to have a safe and happy childhood and that this would become her:

“No. 1 priority.”

Those comments now carry added significance following Rose’s birth, especially as Gaga has spent much of the summer away from the public eye.

Gaga and Michael Polansky Are Still Engaged

Rose’s arrival also comes amid speculation about another major milestone in Gaga and Polansky’s relationship: marriage.

According to TMZ’s reporting, the couple remain engaged and are not married.

Earlier in September, TMZ pushed back against a report claiming that the pair had secretly married. The outlet cited sources with direct knowledge who said the couple had not tied the knot.

Gaga and Polansky became engaged in 2024. Their engagement was publicly confirmed when Gaga referred to Polansky as her fiancé while speaking with French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal during the Paris Olympics.

Then, in March 2026, Gaga indicated that marriage remained part of their plans.

During a message to Bruno Mars during his Romantic Radio livestream, she said:

“Me and my fiancé have been traveling all year, but we’re getting married soon.”

She also asked Mars to choose a special song for their wedding.

Despite that statement, there has been no verified announcement that the wedding has taken place.

A New Chapter for Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky

Gaga and Polansky’s relationship became public in early 2020, after they were photographed together. They subsequently spent much of the COVID-19 pandemic together.

Polansky, a Harvard graduate and entrepreneur, has also worked with Gaga professionally, including on her 2025 album Mayhem.

Now, their relationship has entered another chapter with the arrival of their daughter.

For Gaga, motherhood represents the fulfilment of a desire she has spoken about publicly for years. Yet even as details about Rose have emerged, the couple continue to keep much of their family life private.

The birth certificate establishes that their daughter is Rose Bean Polansky, born on June 9 at 11:19 p.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

At the same time, Gaga and Polansky themselves have not publicly issued a detailed statement about their daughter’s birth or confirmed the meaning of her name.

That leaves the reported connections between Rose, “La Vie En Rose,” and Carl Bean as possible explanations rather than confirmed choices from the parents.

Conclusion

Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky have welcomed their first child, but they have done so largely on their own terms, keeping Rose’s earliest months away from the public spotlight. The details that have emerged now establish her name, birth date, birth time and birthplace, while separate reporting has also raised the subject of surrogacy.

For now, some parts of Rose Bean Polansky’s story are confirmed by the birth certificate, while other details remain based on reporting that Gaga and Polansky have not personally addressed. What is clear is that the couple have entered a new chapter as parents after years of Gaga openly discussing her hopes for motherhood.
