Elton John becomes a dad on Christmas Day

December 28, 2010 by Paul Banas Leave a Comment

Another older dad, Elton John becomes a dad at 62, reported USMagazine.com. The baby boy, Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John, was born on Christmas Day to a surrogate. Elton John and his partner, David Furnish, married in 2005.   

The piano man and husband David Furnish have become parents to a 7-pound, 15-ounce baby boy born on Christmas Day.

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.”

While Elton John is godfather to 10 children, as reported by Wikipedia, Zachary is his first child, after a failed attempt to adopt a Ukrainian orphan in 2009.
