Yahoo Lifestyle Lady Gaga Teases Impending Family Update With Fiancé Michael Polansky
Lady Gaga is teasing her future family plans with fiancé Michael Polansky.
The Joker: Folie à Deux actress, 38, got candid about wanting kids with her businessman beau in a new profile published by Elle on Tuesday, Jan. 28.
“Family, it’s like the roots of the tree,” the 13-time Grammy Award winner (real name Stefani Germanotta) told the outlet. “They grow long, and sometimes they’re mangled, and sometimes they’re full of water, and sometimes they’re thirsty. Family is what makes you who you are, and it also defines your need for change.”
Of what she wants for her future kids, Gaga explained that she would love it if they could interpret her art in their own unique way.
“I would want my children to understand that whatever my artistry means to them is totally up to them," she continued, noting that she would "never ever actually want to shape it or tell them how to think about me."
Gaga added, "Maybe other than that I just did my best. And tried to stay true to myself along the way. That’s something Michael and I have talked about a lot—allowing our kids to be their own people. It’s such an intense thing for kids coming into the world. And they’re told how to think and what to believe in and how to eat…I just kind of want to let my kids find out who they are."
Gaga and Polansky first met at a party through Gaga's mom in 2019 and started dating shortly after. The San Francisco-based philanthropist popped the question to the A Star Is Born actress five years later.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in October, Gaga recalled the story of Polansky proposing to her.
"We went on a trip together and we went rock climbing. We’d been rock climbing before, which was super fun,” she explained to host Jimmy Kimmel. “He didn’t propose to me at the top. We climbed up to the top, and we looked around, and we took some photos.”
She added, “We went back down and we were just walking back to the room. It was very Michael to ask me if he could ask me. He wanted to know if it was OK to propose before he proposed. I was like, ‘Yes! It’s so OK!’”
