Meet Elton John’s Baby

Meet, Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John! Woowee, that’s a long ass name.

Who is this kid? Well, you can tell from the photo to the left that he is the one and only son of Sir Elton John and David Furnish, born via a surrogate on Christmas Day, 2010.

Pictured here a mere 10 days after Zachary’s birth, US Weekly tells the story of the dramatic birth of this couple’s first child.

“I’ve never felt anything like it in my life,” John tells Us Weekly. “You’re so awestruck. What can you say? You take it in. The feeling, the joy, the warmth of his body, his breathing…I will never forget that experience ever.”

According to the couple the birth was very “dramatic.” Elton explained: “Suddenly, at 2:15am on Christmas Day, we were woken up. They said, ‘Quickly! The baby’s coming!’ We went in and stood behind the bed. Then the top of the head came out and David said, ‘My God, there’s the head!’

“Then he shot out like a rocket basically, so much so that the obstetrician sort of caught him! It was so dramatic and exciting, we didn’t have time to get emotional. Like there he was, talk about fast!” 

Zachary – you are a cutie! Congrats John and David.
