Lady GaGa's childhood home - the Pythian condos in New York City

Singer/songwriter Stefani Germanotta, better known by her performing name Lady GaGa, was born on Thursday, March 20, 1986. Lady GaGa, grew up in New York City where she attended Convent of the Sacred Heart School, the same private all-girls school attended by Paris Hilton and her sister Nicky.

In 1993 when Stefani was seven years old, her parents Joe and Cindy purchased an apartment at The Pythian Condominiums. Built in 1927 and located on Manhattan's upper west side, The Pythian's Egyptian-themed facade is a real eye catcher. The Pythian, which was converted into apartments in the 1980's, is eleven-stories tall and has 88 apartments.

Lady GaGa's father is the owner of a Wi-Fi company in New York City.

Lady Gaga in no baby rush

Lady Gaga has no desire to become a mother in the near future as she wants to release "at least 10 more albums" before falling pregnant.

The Poker Face hitmaker admits she does want a family one day, but she is too busy focusing on her career to think about settling down.

Speaking on Britain's The Jonathan Ross Show, she says, "I'm a maternal person but I'm not feeling the urge to be pregnant. Some day I will but not now.

"Oh my gosh, the fans would kill me. I'm just not ready. I really want to make at least 10 more albums before I do something like that."

Gaga, who has had an on-off relationship with Luc Carl, also hints she is content in a relationship, adding, "You know I don't talk about my love life but I'm very happy."
