Who are Elton John’s children Elijah and Zachary?
SIR Elton John and his husband David Furnish have been together since the 1990s.
Their family has become larger than just the couple in recent years, with the pair having two children through an egg donor.
Who are Elton John's children?
Sir Elton John and his husband 's first child is 10-year-old boy Zachary and he was followed by his younger brother, 8-year-old Elijah.
The 72-year-old loves his role as a father and would never have seen himself in this role when he was younger.
“It’s fantastic being a dad. Ten years ago if you’d have told me that, I’d have said you’re crazy,” he told The Sun.
As much as he loves having children the Watford supporter has stressed that he won't be having any more.
“That’s it,” he says, “I mean, we’re too old to have any more. If we were 20 years, 15 years younger, we’d have probably had another one at least. But with the boys we’ve got enough on our hands.”
Zachary
Elton's eldest son, Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John, was born on Christmas Day in 2010 and plays for Watford Academy.
Elton and David used the same egg donor for both kids, but so far have not found out which of them is the biological father of either child.
David said: "We kept a scrapbook for Zachary with all his scans, emails with the surrogate and key moments from the surrogacy, and we are doing the same for Elijah."
Elijah
Elton's youngest son was born on on January 11, 2013.
The I'm Still Standing singer has described their surrogate as a part of their family and was certain he and husband David wanted to have the same person carry their second child after a pleasant experience the first time.
Elton gushed: "She is a wonderful, kind and loving woman."
Both he and Zachary walked out with Watford captain Troy Deeney ahead of the 2019 FA Cup final between Watford and Manchester City.
