Lady Gaga Says She Wants ‘Marriage & Kids More Than Anything’
Written by djfrosty on March 7, 2025
Lady Gaga may now be causing mayhem in pop music, but what she’s really looking forward to is the peace of starting a family with fiancé Michael Polansky.
In an interview with Good Morning America that aired Friday (March 7) — the same day the superstar’s album Mayhem finally dropped — Gaga opened up about how she wanted “marriage and kids more than anything” before meeting the tech businessman in 2019. “We’d been talking for, like, three weeks on the phone every single day just getting to know each other, and Michael flew to Vegas when I was doing my show to take me on our first date,” she recalled.
“And before we even sat down, I said, ‘Do you want marriage and kids?’” she continued. “And he goes, ‘Yeah I do.’ And I said, ‘Yeah OK, great. Do you want some champagne?’”

The 14-time Grammy winner added, “I wanted him to know that I was a family girl.”
Gaga and Polansky had been dating for about four years when they got engaged in April 2024. The “Die With a Smile” singer has been open in the past about how she’s ready to welcome children into the mix, telling Elle in January that she envisions her near future being centered around “me and Michael and our kids.”
“That’s something Michael and I have talked about a lot — allowing our kids to be their own people,” she added at the time. “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.”
For now, the A Star Is Born actress is focused on planning their wedding — “You know what? It’s … it’s going,” she told GMA of the process — and sticking the landing with Mayhem, which Polansky was also heavily involved in. The entrepreneur is credited as a songwriter on several of the songs, and Gaga previously said that he was the one who encouraged her to return to her dance-pop roots on the LP.
“He just loves the whole me,” she told GMA. “We do a lot together. He includes me in his business as well. He’s really creative, he plays guitar — he’s like a beautiful musician. We have a really creative relationship.”
Gaga added, “My album’s called Mayhem, but it’s also nice to be in the mayhem with someone else.”
