Lady Gaga Says She’s ‘Excited to Have a Family’ One Day

Lady Gaga is looking towards the future.

In a new interview promoting her upcoming film, Joker: Folie à Deux, the superstar was asked by Buzzfeed Canada if there’s anything she’d like to “manifest” for the future. “I’m so happy to be in love, and I’m so excited to have a family,” she responded in reference to her partner, Michael Polansky. “That’s definitely number one, but also, I really believe in the ability to grow as a person. That feeling can give everybody hope. I just want to keep growing.”

She continued, “I’m 38 years old, and it’s kind of fun to embrace the challenge of being a 38-year-old pop star and figuring out who I want to be now and what I want to say. I really love women, and I really want to be a voice that deserves to be a part of our community.”

Gaga and Polansky have been publicly dating since early 2020; she made their relationship Instagram official with a post that February. In an interview a couple months later, she referred to Polansky as “the love of my life.”

She appeared to reveal that the duo are engaged in July while introducing Polansky to French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. “My fiancé, Michael,” Gaga is heard casually saying in a clip the prime minister posted on TikTok. The short video shows Attal briefly hugging the singer and shaking hands with Polansky, Lady Gaga’s partner of more than four years, at an Olympic event.

The duo made their red carpet debut at the Venice International Film Festival earlier this month, to support the premiere of Joker: Folie à Deux.

In addition to Folie à Deux, which hits theaters Oct. 4, Gaga is also gearing up to release new music. She dropped “Die With a Smile” with Bruno Mars in July to warm fans up for her upcoming era — the track reached No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 — and she’s now begun teasing her seventh album, the first single of which arrives in October.
