Elton John is a first-time father at the age of 62, which means that when the kid’s 18, Sir John will be a tottering 80-year-old and most likely dead before he gets to see any grandchildren. But congratulations, man! I’ve never been one to rain on anyone’s parade! Says MSNBC:
Sir Elton John is holding close a new tiny dancer.
The piano man and husband David Furnish have become parents to a 7-pound, 15-ounce baby boy born on Christmas Day. The news was first reported Monday night by USMagazine.com and confirmed to The Associated Press by John’s Los Angeles-based publicist.
Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John was born in California via a surrogate, whose identity is being protected by the new parents.
Zachary is 62-year-old John’s first child with the 48-year-old Furnish. The couple married in 2005.
In a joint statement, the new parents told USMagazine.com that “Zachary is healthy and doing well” and they are “overwhelmed with happiness and joy at this very special moment.”
The cool part about little Zachary having two daddies is that he’ll never have to hear an argument of how Daddy wasn’t very supportive of Mom during the labor and instead spent the time cavorting with Kandi the stripper at Kittens Gentlemen’s Club. Don’t even get me started on that.
