TMZ confirms that Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky have had their first daughter through surrogacy, that is, another woman carried the baby for the couple. It is a legal and regulated practice in California, although it is not known who gestated the girl in this case or if there was financial compensation involved.
It was known a few days ago that Gaga and Polansky had already become parents, but the American media now adds this detail and also publishes the girl’s full name: Rose Bean Polansky.
According to TMZ, the baby was born on June 9 in Los Angeles. It is not known why Gaga and Polansky opted for surrogacy. Gaga has spoken several times about the fibromyalgia she suffers from, a chronic disease that causes pain and exhaustion.
The girl’s name seems to contain several references to Gaga’s universe. ‘Rose’ could allude to ‘La Vie En Rose’, the song he performs in ‘A Star is Born’ and which also inspired one of his best-known tattoos.
More speculative is the origin of ‘Bean’. TMZ precisely points to a possible nod to Carl Bean, singer and LGBTQ+ activist whose song ‘I Was Born This Way’ inspired the title and message of ‘Born This Way’. Gaga and Polansky have not publicly explained the meaning of the name.
