Lady Gaga and her fiancé Michael Polansky have welcomed their first baby. An exclusive source told People on September 11 that they "both beam when they talk about being parents" and that they "took time off of work this summer to be with [the] baby."
The star had spoken openly about her desire to become a mother multiple times in the past, including during an October 2025 appearance on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' where she said, "I would like to do many things. All of these things are open. But what I really want is to be a mom. That’s my next starring role, I hope."
Indeed, each year brings its share of celebrity baby announcements, and 2026 is no different. From Hollywood stars and musicians to athletes and royals, 2026 has already been a year of exciting new arrivals in the celebrity world.
While many stars became parents through pregnancy, others grew their families through surrogacy. The new arrivals also came at very different stages of their parents’ lives, from first-time parents to stars welcoming their third child.
