Lady Gaga's fans have called her Mother Monster for over a decade. As of this week, the nickname finally means something literal. The 40-year-old singer and her fiancé, entrepreneur Michael Polansky, have welcomed their first child together, a source confirmed to PEOPLE, with Page Six first breaking the news. Gaga's representatives have not commented, and the couple hasn't revealed the baby's name, gender, or exact date of birth.

What they have never kept quiet about is how badly Gaga wanted this. Across nearly a decade and a half of interviews, she's returned to the subject of motherhood again and again. Here are five moments that show just how long this dream was in the making.

1. She Called It Her "Next Starring Role"

On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in October 2025, Gaga was asked what she wanted for the next chapter of her life. Her answer left little room for guessing. She said she'd like to do many things, but admitted what she really wanted was to be a mom, calling it her hoped-for next starring role.

2. She Said She Was "Ready" To Be Humbled

In a February 2025 Elle cover interview, Gaga opened up about conversations she'd had with Polansky on raising kids who feel free to form their own identities rather than being told what to think. When the interviewer pointed out that children have a way of humbling their parents, Gaga didn't hesitate, responding simply that she was ready.

3. She Admitted Motherhood Would Become Her "Number One Priority"

Talking to Howard Stern, Gaga was asked directly whether fans should expect her to step back from music once she became a parent. After a pause, she agreed, telling Stern he wasn't wrong, and said she wanted her future child to have a safe, happy childhood above all else.

4. She Called Motherhood Her "Greatest Vision"

In a March 2025 interview with Access Hollywood, Gaga was asked about her vision for the next ten years. She smiled and said becoming a mother was the greatest vision she had for her future - a line that fans immediately picked up on.

5. She Talked About "Welcome To The Womb" Years Before Any Of This

Long before Polansky entered the picture, Gaga was already dreaming out loud. In a 2020 InStyle interview, she said she was very excited to have kids one day and looked forward to being a mom, marvelling at the idea of growing a human being. She'd even turned it into a running joke at home, greeting visitors to her house with "Welcome to the Womb."
