Photographs circulating online have shown the pair on a walk in northern California, with Gaga holding a young baby.

The 40-year-old Grammy and Oscar winner has not commented publicly, nor has Polansky. But the news has been reported by several US outlets, following claims that the couple recently welcomed their first child together.

The child’s name, sex and exact date of birth remain unknown.

The reported arrival may explain why Gaga has largely disappeared from public view in recent months.

The Bad Romance singer had barely been seen since her Mayhem Ball world tour finished in April.

Even an Instagram post of Polaroid snaps in August failed to answer fans’ questions about why one of the world’s most recognisable stars had stepped back from the spotlight.

There had been speculation that Gaga and Polansky had secretly married and were taking a honeymoon before starting a family.

However, neither has confirmed that they have wed.

Gaga and Polansky were first spotted together at a New Year’s Eve party in Las Vegas in 2020.

She later confirmed their relationship with an Instagram post from Miami, telling fans: “Love to all my little monsters and fans, you’re the best!”

At the time, sources described the pair as “completely smitten”, saying Gaga’s friends had not seen her so happy in years.

The couple announced their engagement in 2024.

Gaga had previously spoken about hoping for marriage and children, but was forced to dismiss pregnancy rumours that same year after fans believed they had spotted a baby bump at her sister’s wedding.

She responded with a TikTok caption referencing Taylor Swift’s Down Bad: “not pregnant – just down bad crying at the gym.”
