LADY Gaga’s baby name has finally been revealed after the star welcomed her first child with fiance Michael Polansky.

The Born This Way hitmaker, 40, who had kept her pregnancy under wraps and spent months out of the public eye, gave birth in June.

Now, after rampant speculation, the couple’s baby has been revealed to be a girl named Rose Bean Polansky, reports TMZ.

The outlet, who obtained the birth certificate, says she was born in Los Angeles on June 9 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre.

Baby Rose was welcomed with the help of Dr. Robert Katz, who helped deliver Ciara and Russell Wilson‘s baby Sienna in 2017.

The inspiration behind the name remains unclear but some have speculated it could be linked to La Vie En Rose, the famous french song she sings in hit film A Star Is Born.

As a toast to the song, the star had a rose tattoo inked down the length of her spine in 2019.

Meanwhile, the middle name Bean could be a nod to singer Carl Bean who provided the inspiration behind her hit “I Was Born This Way”.

Lady Gaga – real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta – was seen out and about with her new baby for the first time earlier this month.

The new mum was snapped taking a stroll with fiance Michael with the tot close to her chest while out and about in the California sunshine.

Baby Rose was wrapped in a beige sling and white baby-grow, with its face turned to her chest.

The popstar placed a tender hand protecting the tot’s neck as they spent some quality time together.

Lady Gaga gave a hint as to her family plans in 2025, when she spoke openly about her thoughts on motherhood in a series of interviews.

She told the New York Times: “I’m excited to be a mom. I used to have a lot of apprehension about it.

“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”.

She also told Rolling Stone last year: “Being a mom is the thing I want the most.”

And talking about her own relationship with her mum with Allure in 2019, she said: “I really hope that when I have maybe a little girl one day, or a little boy, and they see Mommy put her makeup on, that they have the same experience that I did.

“That’s the greatest gift of all, when you can connect with your parents.”

Lady Gaga and Michael first got together in 2019, but went public with their relationship in 2020.

They went Instagram official in February 2020, when Gaga posted a pic of her cuddling up to her new man.

MARK Wright was caught red-handed by wife Michelle Keegan after telling porkies about his whereabouts while she was at work.

The TV star told his actress wife he would be at home looking after their daughter Palma, 1, – confident he wouldn’t be rumbled.

But Mark, 39, was actually out playing golf and was spectacularly exposed when Michelle FaceTimed him live on air.

The hilarious incident unfolded on Heart Breakfast when Michelle appeared as a guest to promote her new drama The Blame.

“Shock, he’s at golf,” Michelle, 39, remarked as the star popped up on the video call before demanding: “I’ve got a question – where’s the baby?”

A flustered Mark responded: “She’s with my mum. She’s seeing her nanny today.”

Michelle then clapped back: “You told me you weren’t golfing today. You’re in trouble!”

Mark told the other presenters: “This is what I mean, guys. You’ve got me in the doghouse!”

The couple welcomed their first child, Palma, in March 2025 after nearly ten years of marriage.

Michelle is now gearing up for the release of six-part ITV crime drama The Blame, adapted from Charlotte Langley’s debut novel of the same name.

She plays DI Emma Crane, who investigates the murder of a young figure skater while confronting corruption and misogyny within the police force.

The series marks Michelle’s first acting role since giving birth to Palma.

She said earlier this year: “Coming back to work after having a baby is quite daunting.

“But the production were so supportive and I was so looked after. It was like working with family.”

However, the actress recently pulled out of another major ITV drama amid concerns its demanding filming schedule would keep her away from Palma for too long.

Michelle had been due to play a working-class barrister but withdrew several months before filming began, with former Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker, 44, stepping into the role.

Although Michelle had committed to the project and filming dates had been agreed, she reportedly walked away before signing a contract.

The Blame begins on ITV and ITVX on September 20.

LADY Gaga has been seen out and about with her new baby for the first time after she welcomed her first child with fiance Michael Polansky.

Yesterday it was reported by Page Six that the Just Dance hitmaker, 40, had given ‘secretly’ birth after months out of the public eye.

The star welcomed her first child this week according to the publication.

But she decided not to share her pregnancy news with fans, and has quite a low profile in recent months as she was last pictured in public back in May.

But now Lady Gaga – real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta – has been pictured in public as a new mum with her adorable tot wrapped around her chest.

She recently stepped out in San Francisco for a walk with her newborn alongside her fiance Michael and agent Alexandra Trustman.

The name, gender, or when her child was born has not been revealed yet.

Lady Gaga and Michael first got together in 2019, but went public with their relationship in 2020.

The pair got engaged in 2024.

They were also seen locking lips as they got a car sear installed into their vehicle in Los Angeles.

The singer has been quite open about wanting to start a family in the past.

She told Rolling Stone last year: “Being a mom is the thing I want the most.”

And talking about her own relationship with her mum with Allure in 2019, she said: “I really hope that when I have maybe a little girl one day, or a little boy, and they see Mommy put her makeup on, that they have the same experience that I did.

Baby Reindeer star Jessica Gunning has reportedly taken on a new role in a “darkly comedic” thriller.

Fans of disturbing thrillers like Baby Reindeer are urged to keep their eyes on an upcoming Netflix project starring one of its leads. For the first time since her big breakout moment with Baby Reindeer, Jessica Gunning is reportedly returning to the streamer for a new series.

The actress has reportedly been cast as one of the four leads in Netflix’s Feral, a “darkly comedic thriller series based on a 1987 novel by Shirley Conran”, Deadline shared. The news outlet teased: “In the series, four very different women learn to survive on a lethal tropical island after their mining exec husbands are kidnapped. The question is, can they put aside their differences, their self-doubts, and their vanities to stay alive?”

The Mirror has contacted Netflix for confirmation, but Deadline said Gunning plays Annie, a “quietly dutiful wife who has sacrificed her ambitions to raise four sons under her domineering husband, Duncan”. Gunning previously earned an Emmy, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA TV Award, an Actor Award, a Critics’ Choice Award, and an Independent Spirit Award for her work in Baby Reindeer, which aired on Netflix in April 2024.

Her latest reported project is based on Shirley Conran’s novel, Savages, which “deals with five women, transformed from wives of the powerful rich executives to widows in the jungle, coming face to face with the savage inside themselves”. The story has been described by readers as a “female Lord of the Flies” and has recently been adapted into a TV series.

Fans took to Goodreads to share their thoughts on the original source material, with one saying: “I keep going back to this book; I’ve probably read it 7 or 8 times. I like the way she shows the relationships and how they change. The suspense is great.

“I like how you see the strengths come out, and the frailties, and how they cope with them. I find this book inspiring. It seems like just another fluffy beach read, but these women are tested to the limit and overcome overwhelming difficulty.”

Another added: “Oh my gosh. This book was so good. Engrossing. I had trouble putting it down to do anything else. It’s going on my list of favourite books. And, it was educational. I learned a lot about wilderness living. Just wow, really.”

A third commented, “I have never forgotten this female Lord of the Flies type book. Women get stuck on a deserted island, and what issues ensue. I loved this book and especially how the power struggle shook out. One of my favourite books!”

In March 2026, Gunning opened up about how her award-winning role in Baby Reindeer changed her life and catapulted her to global fame, telling Variety Australia: “The whole of the Baby Reindeer journey was just so surreal. What an amazing thing to be part of. I don’t feel like I’ve changed as a person, but I feel like I’ve had some amazing opportunities since.

AS SHE counts down to the birth of her second child, Scarlett Moffatt enjoyed a sweet baby shower this weekend.

The former Gogglebox favourite – who already shares son Jude with her fiance Scott Dobinson – enjoyed a fun-filled ‘baby in bloom’ themed bash with her friends and family.

From baby bingo to hilarious games, the shower saw all of Scarlett’s nearest and dearest come together.

Guests were welcomed to a large pastel coloured balloon arch with a sign that read ‘Baby in Bloom, Scarlett’s baby shower’ inscripted on it.

A floral cake with the same colour scheme and an ‘oh baby’ topper was beautifully displayed for guests to enjoy too.

Scarlett donned a floral dress as she matched the day’s theme, whilst her other half Scott and their son Jude both opted for pastel blue shirts.

Sharing a carousel of pictures from the day, Scarlett wrote to Instagram: “Baby in Bloom 🌸🌼🩵

“One last big celebration before our littlest love arrives. My heart (and belly 😂) are VERY full 🩵”.

She continued: “Thank you to my mam and bestie for organising it all especially getting up at the crack of dawn to make finger sandwiches lol, to everybody who came we love you so much.

“Honestly what a giggle I’ve had & @balloonsbymollyx as always for the beautiful display”.

Scarlett announced she and Scott were expecting their second child earlier this year, but recently told The Sun that the pregnancy has been far from smooth sailing.

After a very relaxing pregnancy with Jude, Scarlett says she was shocked this time around.

“This time, the first trimester I was still working and filming and I was getting bad travel sickness – I’ve never had that in my life before.

“I was also running off to throw up at work,” admitted the star.

TWILIGHT star Taylor Lautner’s wife Taylor has revealed their unborn baby could ALSO be called Taylor.

She admitted the parents-to-be, who are expecting a baby girl, hadn’t ruled out the moniker – and confirmed it is “in the mix”.

The couple revealed they were expecting their first child in March.

During a chat on the Call Her Daddy podcast, registered nurse Taylor was asked about potential baby names.

Host Alex Cooper asked: “Was there any consideration of naming your child Taylor?”

Taylor replied: “It may be in the mix.

“We will find out when the baby comes”.

She then added: “I feel like if I don’t name my baby Taylor, the Internet’s literally gonna cancel me.

“I’m gonna get cancelled”.

Taylor added the name had been in line if the duo had learned they were welcoming a little boy, too.

She added: “We used to always joke that if we’re having a boy, we’d name him Taylor and call him T.J”.

In their baby reveal actor Taylor, 34, shared a sweet snap of him planting a kiss on his wife’s blossoming baby bump.

The glowing couple also posted a baby scan in an adorable family photo.

Taylor cheekily captioned the post: “What’s better than two Taylor Lautners?” – a nod to the fact his wife shares his first name and surname.

The two tied the knot in a lavish November 2022 wedding.

Early Motown songwriter Janie Bradford Hobbs, who helped pen hits including “Money (That’s What I Want)” and “Too Busy Thinking About My Baby,” has died following an extended illness at a Los Angeles hospital, her family said Saturday. She was 87.

Bradford Hobbs was born in Charleston, Mo., and later moved to Detroit.

She was introduced in the late 1950s to Motown founder Berry Gordy by neighbor and singer Jackie Wilson. She joined Motown as a receptionist in 1958 and like many of the company’s employees took part in the creative process that helped make Motown a music industry powerhouse.

She and Gordy co-wrote “Money (That’s What I Want).” The song was recorded in 1959 by Barrett Strong and became an early hit. It was covered by the Beatles, which also become a hit.

“Too Busy Thinking About My Baby” first was recorded by The Temptations and later became a hit for Marvin Gaye. Bradford Hobbs also wrote songs for Stevie Wonder, the Supremes, Martha & The Vandellas and others.

“Janie was there with me from the very beginning, before there was even a Motown, and she will always hold a very special place in my heart and in the Motown family,” Gordy said in a statement.

“Janie was one of a special group I have always thought of as the original Motown family — the unsung heroes who believed in the dream before anyone knew what Motown would become,” Gordy continued. “She was one of the people who helped make Motown what it became.”

Bradford Hobbs later became head of writer relations for Jobete, Motown’s publishing company. After leaving Motown, she founded the annual Heroes and Legends Awards. The event spanned about 30 years, honoring music stars and awarding scholarships, according to her family.

She is survived by her husband, Wardean Hobbs; daughter, Nicole Hobbs; son, Lance Finney; and two grandsons.
