The piano man Elton John and his partner, Canadian filmmaker David Furnish, have become parents to a seven-pound, 15-ounce baby boy born on Christmas Day, US Weekly reports.

Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John was born in California via a surrogate, whose identity is being protected by the new parents, RIA Novosti reports.

“Zachary is healthy and doing well” and they are “overwhelmed with happiness and joy at this very special moment,” the couple said in a joint statement.

Zachary is the 62-year-old singer’s first child with the 48-year-old Furnish. The couple married in 2005.
