Lady Gaga says she would ‘love’ to have children in emotional admission

Lady Gaga is looking forward to the next chapter of her life as she has revealed her desire to become a mother, after confirming her engagement to Michael Polansky last year. The 38-year-old singer, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, says she would ‘ love ‘ to have kids after previously being worried about the prospect.

“I would love to have kids one day. I’m excited to be a mom. I used to have a lot of apprehension about it”, she admitted during a new interview with The New York Times. Continuining that she’s keen to ensure her future children will choose their own path in life, the singer explained, “If our children only understand Mommy’s job, that’s a very narrow view of life. There’s so much in the world, and I want them to be able to choose for themselves who they want to be”.

Typically private when it comes to her personal life, Lady Gaga rarely talks about her relationship and was first linked to tech investor Michael in late 2019. But at the time, her mental health had just picked up after a severe five-year dip. Recalling the tough time, she said, “Yeah, I mean, I had psychosis. I was not deeply in touch with reality for a while. It took me out of life in a big way, and after a lot of years of hard work I got myself back. It was a hard time, and it was actually really special when I met my partner because when I met Michael, I was in a much better place, but I remember him saying to me, pretty early on, ‘ I know you could be a lot happier than you are. ‘”

Lady Gaga – who appeared on Saturday Night Live this weekend – and Michael first stepped out as a couple in 2019, and they announced their engagement in July 2024. Michael is credited with inspiring his future wife to return to the recording studio and create her latest critically acclaimed album, Mayhem.

The Oscar winner’s seventh studio album, Mayhem, recorded at Shangri-La Studios near her home in Malibu, has 14 tracks including Disease, Abracadabra and Bruno Mars collaboration Die With A Smile. Mayhem is promoted as being about “embracing the fractured pieces of oneself and discovering how they come together to form something unexpected and beautiful”.

Lady Gaga says making the album was like assembling a shattered mirror to make up the different elements of her artistic life. She said: “Even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can create something memorable and whole in its own way”. The record is produced by the New York-born singer alongside Andrew Watt – who produced the Rolling Stones ‘ 2023 return Hackney Diamonds – alongside the singer’s fiancé Michael.
