Mother Monster is ready to be a mom.

Lady Gaga has opened up about her desire for motherhood after working with her fiancé, Michael Polansky, to make some of her favorite music of her career on recent albums *Harlequin* and *Mayhem*.

Sitting down for a multi-part interview with Stephen Colbert, the 39-year-old told the *Late Show* host on Thursday's episode that she's considering "many things" as her next entertainment project — including potentially on Broadway — but there's one thing she wants to do before it all.

"I would like to do many things, yeah, all of these things," she told Colbert when asked about a potential stage debut. "But, what I really want is to be a mom. That's my next starring role, I hope."

Gaga and Polansky, an entrepreneur, first met in 2019 after an introduction from the pop icon's mother, Cynthia Germanotta, who told her daughter, "I think I met your husband," upon first interacting with Polansky.

Others in Gaga's life, like makeup artist Sarah Tanno, have told her, "I see how much love has changed your life," the singer-songwriter told Colbert.

"He's my best friend in the whole world. What can you say about your best friend?" she added.

"He always really saw me and I think I always really saw him, and I felt that right away. It was very powerful, something I don't think I'd ever felt with anyone before, especially at that time in my life," Gaga said of meeting Polansky during a difficult period for her, mentally and physically. "He's just incredibly brilliant and sweet and kind, and he just fights for me every day. I think I felt for a long time like I was navigating this thing on own and it's hard. And it's not anymore. I'm very lucky."

Gaga previously told ** that Polansky helped guide her creative instincts on *Harlequin*, a soundtrack album of jazz covers that accompanied the release of last year's *Joker: Folie à Deux*, in which she starred as a version of DC Comics villainess Harley Quinn.

"I think they're all risky. Some of these songs, like [Judy Garland's] 'Get Happy,' are from the 1930s. We're in 2024, the song is nearly 100 years old. We focused on deploying slapstick and lyrical changes in reference to Arthur [Fleck]. He made his way into the album as well," Gaga told EW of working with Polansky to change lyrics to classic songs to fit the theme of the album and film.

She added, "The most daring is on [Shirley Bassey's] 'The Joker.' Michael and I wanted to show the defiance of Lee proclaiming that she is the real criminal in all of this, and that she has the ability to mastermind a kind of coup d'etat in their relationship, that she is the persona of Joker incarnate, in a woman."

She also said that Polansky got to live with the character as she worked to perfect it — and purge it — before and after making the 2024 film.

"I wasn't finished with this character when I was done making the movie. Creating her had a deeply profound effect on me. The way I prepare for things, Michael also got to know Lee pretty well, and it's why we conceived of this project together," Gaga explained to EW at the time. "We wanted to make something to celebrate the complexity of a woman who has danger within her and also bore a sense of sweetness and couldn't be defined. The way you can't define Lee in the movie, you also can't define her in this album, through genre."

Following *Joker: Folie à Deux*, Gaga released her most recent solo album, *Mayhem*, in March, which includes a song, "Blade of Grass," inspired by their engagement.

Gaga is currently traveling the world on her *Mayhem* Ball tour. She also appeared in a guest role in *Wednesday* season 2 (news EW broke last year), and later worked with the series' Tim Burton to direct the music video for her latest *Wednesday*-inspired single "The Dead Dance."
