First it was Neil Patrick Harris and partner to become dad this year but now it’s definitely Elton John’s turn to try the parenting thing. The legendary singer and David Furnish finally became first-time fathers after they welcomed their son on Christmas Day itself.

Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish John is born by a surrogate in California and weighs 7 pounds and 15 ounces. The two expressed their happiness at finally having the little bundle of joy in their life. In a joint statement, they said that they are very happy parents and that Zachary is a really healthy baby.

Back in 2009, the couple first expressed their wish in being fathers to a 14-month old Ukrainian born who is infected with HIV. Unfortunately, certain laws stopped them from adopting the baby. The conditions they were unable to fill are that John and Furnish needs to be married (not civil) and that they both need to be under 45.

Since John is already 62 and they obviously did not meet the first criteria, they were stopped from being adoptive parents to the baby. The two, however, offered to give financial support to the child.
