Ever since Lady Gaga got engaged to Taylor Kinney, her boyfriend of three years, there have been speculations that the two are thinking about having children. Many are pointing to the singer's curvier figure, thinking she might be expecting a baby with her fiancé this year, but Lady Gaga herself quashed the pregnancy rumors at her Hollywood Bowl concert during the weekend.
On Sunday May 31, the "Born This Way" singer addressed the sold out crowd and told them that her changing figure is due to the fact that she is getting older.
"I'm getting a little older and many people think I'm pregnant but I tell them, 'I'm just almost [expletive] 30," she told the audience during her Cheek to Cheek concert with Tony Bennett.
The singer joked that she was having trouble maintaining the same youthful outlook as Bennett, 88.
"Tony's taught me [that] you can live your life and feel the same every day forever … Me on the other hand, I'm having a more difficult time with things," she said before patting her thigh and adding, "A little more here and there."
In July 2014, the singer was criticized for her figure when she performed in Las Vegas as part of her ArtRave tour. After the show, she posted a picture of herself on Instagram with the caption, "Curvy and Proud."
In September, she hit back at her critics once more as she uploaded a photo in the photo sharing app showing herself dressed in a beige swimsuit. The photo was captioned, "I'd rather be fat than shallow."
She then went on to say that it's what's inside that really counts and looking slimmer is all about how one poses for the camera, saying, "Just ask the supermodels!"
The "Applause" singer has not always been so confident about her looks. In 2013, Lady Gaga started a movement called Body Revolution 2013 after revealing that she struggled with anorexia and bulimia since she was a teenager.
On her website, the singer said that she hoped to inspire bravery and encourage her fans to celebrate their bodies and to accept and love themselves.
