The singer and his partner David Furnish welcomed the baby boy, who was born through a surrogate, on Christmas day. Elton said that they know they will have to deal with the daddy issue when he gets older.
Elton, 63, told The Mirror, 'Our child's life will be different. We're well aware that at school people will say, 'Hey you've got two dads. What's that all about?' This is something we are going to deal with.
'I'm sorry but I don't believe every child needs a mother and a father and that is the only way. How many marriages split up, how many children are unwanted? We love our child, we want him to be surrounded by love, and every problem we face will be together.'
He added that they are going to take care not to spoil their son, despite Elton's significant wealth.
