The 63-year-old singer and his 48-year-old partner David Furnish welcomed their first child together on Christmas day in California – a son named Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John. The baby’s surrogate mother will remain out of the public eye, although Elton and David presented the little boy in this week’s edition of American magazine Us Weekly.
It appears Zachary has inherited his father’s passion for music, as the boy adores having his parents serenade him.
"He's a content little guy... He's very peaceful... He just loves to be nurtured, cuddled, and sung to," beamed David to the publication.
Elton is pleased to say that his beloved son is displaying the signs of being particularly good looking. He joked the little boy looked like late British Prime Minister Winston Churchill when he was first born due to his wrinkled-up face. The singer is also taking great interest in charting Zachary’s hair growth.
“I think he’s getting more handsome by the day. When babies come out, they all look a bit like Winston Churchill, their faces all scrunched up! And every day his hair is growing. It was quite dark when he came out, and now it’s going blond,” he told the British edition of OK! magazine in a separate interview.
