Christmas Day daddies; Pierre Trudeau did it twice and now Sir Elton John and David Furnish have welcomed a son on Dec 25.
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 63-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.” So are the Toronto relatives.

While self-styled Christian moralists already are condemning the couple and calling the birth another publicity stunt, true Christians will celebrate the newly expanded family and wish young Zachary good health and happiness.
Congratulations men.
