Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky\u2019s first child is a baby girl named Rose Bean Polansky, and both parts of her name have reported connections to music that has shaped Gaga\u2019s career.<\/p>\n
A birth certificate obtained by TMZ<\/a> shows that Rose was born June 9th at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The document resolves details Gaga and Polansky had kept private even after news of their first child became public earlier this month.<\/p>\n A source subsequently told People<\/a> that Rose was inspired by Gaga\u2019s long connection to \u201cLa Vie En Rose,\u201d the \u00c9dith Piaf song she performed in A Star Is Born<\/em> and later honored with a large rose tattoo running down her spine. The same source said the middle name Bean likely comes from singer, minister and LGBTQ activist Carl Bean, whose 1977 recording of \u201cI Was Born This Way\u201d influenced Gaga\u2019s own Born This Way<\/em> era.<\/p>\n Gaga and Polansky have still not personally announced their daughter\u2019s name or sex, and their representatives did not confirm the new details to People. The information has emerged after a summer the couple reportedly spent largely away from work and the public eye with the child Gaga had said for years that she hoped to have.<\/p>\n Happy Valentine\u2019s Day.

Gaga performed the \u00c9dith Piaf standard as Ally in 2018\u2019s A Star Is Born<\/em>, during the nightclub scene in which Bradley Cooper\u2019s Jackson Maine first sees her perform. The song had already played a role in bringing Gaga and Cooper together professionally.<\/p>\n Cooper saw her sing \u201cLa Vie En Rose\u201d at a 2016 benefit connected to the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy and later said the performance helped convince him she was right for Ally. Gaga made the connection permanent in February 2019. She revealed a delicate single-needle rose extending down her spine, with the words \u201cla vie en rose\u201d written beside the stem, according to Allure<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cMy spinal cord is now a rose,\u201d Gaga wrote while unveiling the tattoo. That awards season also marked another major milestone in the A Star Is Born<\/em> chapter of her career. Gaga was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress and won Best Original Song for \u201cShallow.\u201d<\/p>\n The connection between Bean and Gaga\u2019s own work is well established independently of the baby\u2019s name. While celebrating the 10th anniversary of Born This Way<\/em> in 2021, Gaga publicly credited Bean and his work as an inspiration for her song and album.<\/p>\n Bean\u2019s version of \u201cI Was Born This Way\u201d became a disco-era gay anthem. He later founded the Unity Fellowship Church Movement and devoted much of his life to LGBTQ advocacy and ministry, including work connected to the HIV\/AIDS crisis.<\/p>\n Gaga\u2019s \u201cBorn This Way,\u201d released in 2011, became one of the defining songs of her career and one of her most recognizable statements about identity and acceptance.<\/p>\nRose Comes From Gaga\u2019s Long Connection to \u2018La Vie En Rose\u2019<\/h2>\n
