Sir Elton John and David Furnish have one cute family!
The dads — who entered a civil partnership on Dec. 21, 2005, after spending more than a decade together — welcomed their first son Zachary Jackson Levon on Christmas Day in 2010, and their second, Elijah Joseph Daniel, on Jan. 11, 2013. Over the years, the legendary artist and his husband have given small glimpses into their life as a family of four as their sons have grown up.
“If you’d had said to me 10 years ago I’d be sitting on your show, married to the man I love and have two beautiful children, I would have said, ‘You put acid in my drink,’ ” John joked on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2016. “There’s no words to describe how much we love these boys. They’re just amazing.”
