| Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish have become parents to a son born to a surrogate mother in California.
Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John was born on Christmas Day, the UK musician told the Usmagazine.com website. "Zachary is healthy and doing really well, and we are very proud and happy parents," said the couple. They provided no details about the surrogacy arrangement. "We are overwhelmed with happiness and joy at this very special moment," the couple told the website in a statement. They said the boy weighed 7lb15oz (3.6kg). A representative for the couple said they intended to protect and respect the privacy of the surrogate mother, and would not be discussing any details relating to the surrogacy arrangements. Sir Elton and Canadian filmmaker Mr Furnish met in 1993 and were joined in a civil ceremony in 2005. Last year, the couple, who tried to adopt a 14-month old HIV positive boy from Ukraine named Lev. However, Ukrainian officials said Sir Elton, 62, was too old and his civil partnership with Mr Furnish, 48, would not be recognised as a marriage by Kiev. In December, Mr Furnish told the BBC that they were working to ensure Lev and his brother "have the best health care, education and family options available to them". |
