That’s my next starring role, I hope.’ While speaking to the New York Times in March 2025, Gaga said she was ‘excited to be a mom,’ even though she ‘used to have a lot of apprehension about it.”I’m also kind of at war with myself sometimes as I get ready to, hopefully, become a mom soon,’ she added. ‘Like, today is wonderful, but the whole day has revolved around me.

We were hoping you could choose a special song for us.’ In her earlier interview with Stephen Colbert, Gaga couldn’t help but sing her fiancé’s praises.’He’s my best friend in the whole world,’ she said of Polansky, adding that he ’empowered me as a woman in music with a beautiful partner that has my back every day.”He just blew me away from the minute that I met him,’ Gaga continued. ‘He always, I think, really saw me and I think I always really saw him.’Back in October of 2024, the occasional actress told Jimmy Kimmel that she and Polansky were considering an elopement involving ‘just going to a courthouse, just the two of us, and ordering Chinese food.’ Gaga and Polansky have been together for six years after meeting in 2019 at tech entrepreneur Sean Parker’s 40th birthday party.
