Sir Elton John and David Furnish seen here back in 1987 at Elton’s 40th birthday party are now parents. A child born unto them of wigs and glitter. So expect a lot of this in the near future: Tiny Dancer Onesies, Cradles In The Wind, The Bitch Is Back Burpers, and their special kid musical, Bennie and The Pets.
According to Us Magazine:
Sir Elton John and David Furnish have become parents to son Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John, the couple tells UsMagazine.com exclusively.
The baby boy, who was born Dec. 25 in California via a surrogate, weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces.
“We are overwhelmed with happiness and joy at this very special moment,” John and Furnish tell Us in a joint statement. “Zachary is healthy and doing really well, and we are very proud and happy parents.”
This is the first child for John, 62, and Furnish, 48. The couple married in 2005 after 12 years together.
A rep for the couple has stated that they intend to protect and respect the privacy of their surrogate, and will not be discussing any details relating to the surrogacy arrangements.
I’m just glad Elton gave his kid such a lovely and normal name. I’m sick of celebs saddling their children with names like Whizz Bang Sparklepants or something equally silly.
Note to self: get rich before you are 40 so you can have an outfit that badass at your birthday party.
