Elton John, Husband David Furnish Welcome Second Son Elijah Joseph Daniel
January 16, 2013

There's a new addition to Sir Elton John's circle of life! The legendary musician, 65, and husband David Furnish are the proud parents of a brand-new baby boy, Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John, they announced to Britain's Hello! magazine on Tuesday Jan. 15. Born via surrogate in Los Angeles last Friday Jan. 11, Elijah arrived weighing a healthy 8lb 4oz.

The rock 'n roll tyke joins big brother Zachary, whose December 2010 birth was first revealed exclusively by Us Weekly. "Both of us have longed to have children, but the reality that we now have two sons is almost unbelievable," John and Furnish, 50, tell HELLO! "The birth of our second son completes our family in a most precious and perfect way. It is difficult to fully express how we are feeling at this time; we are just overwhelmed with happiness and excitement."

After 12 years together, the "I'm Still Standing" singer wed Furnish in 2005, and have longed to get a sibling for their firstborn. "I think it's difficult to be an only child, and to be an only child of someone famous," John said. "I want Zachary to have a sibling."

"For many years we have talked about fulfilling one of our greatest wishes by becoming parents," John told Us shortly after Zachary's Christmas Day 2010 birth, also via surrogate. "And now this wish has been granted to us, we feel so blessed and lucky."

I also agree it's the age, not the sexual orientation. They should be grandparents by now. I've never understood celebrities who've decided to become parents after 50.

REALLY ?!!! He needs to stop, both of them need to STOP ! They have no business having another child. And it has nothing to do with being gay or any of that c r a p. it has to do with the fact that Elton is sixty fr iggen five ! And his man is 50 ! That is NOT fair to a child. Elton will be lucky to live long enough to see the kid graduate high school !!!!! Completely selfish selfish SELFISH to do that to a child. Honestly the selfishness of people who do this is criminal and it makes me sick !!!!!!

They did not adopt either one of their babies they are biological maybe one and one of each? With a suragate mother. So these boys are the sons of one of them (or like I said maybe they both are biological dad to one each.) hope they are happy but seems very unfair to the children to have them when you are already up there in years!!!

C c a you have your beliefs and are very much entitled to them. However there is no sin in 2 people that love each other raising a happy family. In reality your sinning when you choose to look down upon others for their own personal choices.
