Lady Gaga has put an end to rumors that she’s expecting a child with her boyfriend, Michael Polansky. The speculation began after the singer attended her sister’s wedding in Maine over the weekend.

In her TikTok post, Gaga, 38, denied the pregnancy rumors with a caption that read: “not pregnant – just down bad cryin at the gym.” This partial quote from Swift’s song added a touch of humor to her message. Gaga also took the opportunity to encourage her 9.3 million followers to register to vote.

The pregnancy rumors gained traction after photos surfaced showing Gaga at her sister Natali Germanotta’s wedding. Accompanied by Polansky, 46, Gaga looked radiant in a tight-fitting black dress. The images showed the “Poker Face” singer glowing and occasionally emotional during the event, further fueling speculation.
Fans on social media reacted with a mix of excitement and curiosity, with some congratulating Gaga on a potential pregnancy and others wondering if the diamond ring she wore indicated an engagement to Polansky.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, wore a peach-colored bridesmaid dress for the ceremony. The event, held at the ViewPoint Hotel with a view of the Atlantic Ocean, was a family affair, with Gaga actively participating in the celebrations.

Gaga and Polansky, who began dating in 2020, have maintained a relatively private relationship. In March 2021, it was reported that their relationship was serious, with Gaga expressing a desire to start a family with him. In past interviews, Gaga has openly discussed her excitement about motherhood and her future plans.
The couple’s last public appearance was in April in Malibu, where they were seen enjoying a tennis game and a dinner date at Nobu. Gaga is currently busy with her upcoming projects, including her role in “Joker: Folie à Deux” and her Las Vegas jazz and piano residency at Park MGM.
Despite the rumors and public scrutiny, Gaga’s TikTok post clarified her current status, using humor and a nod to pop culture to engage her fans and put the speculation to rest.
