Both Gaga, who’s real name is Stefani Germanotta, and her 42-year-old beau were dressed down for the midday stroll — with the star in pajama bottoms and an oversized cardigan as her entrepreneur partner wore shorts and a hoodie.

No details have been revealed yet about the baby’s name or gender, but the internet has already gone into overdrive following the announcement.

No details have been revealed yet about the baby’s name, date of birth or gender, but the internet has already gone into overdrive following the announcement.

“MOTHER MONSTER IS OFFICIALLY A MOTHER,” one fan wrote online.

“So happy for her, she often said how badly she wanted a baby,” another added.

“WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?” a third user chimed in.

The 40-year-old singer has been largely been out of the public eye since wrapping her Mayhem Ball tour in April.

The Oscar winner’s journey to motherhood was not surprising for longtime fans, given the star had openly spoke of her dreams to have kids.

In 2025, Gaga told the New York Times that she was “excited” to have children.

“I’m excited to be a mom. I used to have a lot of apprehension about it,” she said.

“The thing that’s the most important to me is to not force my children to live a life that they are not choosing. So the more that we can give them space to discover who they are on their own, that’s the thing that I believe in the most.”
