LONDON (AFP) - British pop star Elton John and his partner David Furnish have become parents for a second time, they confirmed on Wednesday.
The couple told Hello! magazine that they were "overwhelmed with happiness" at the birth of their son Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John, who was born in Los Angeles on Friday to a surrogate mother.
"Both of us have longed to have children, but the reality that we now have two sons is almost unbelievable," they said.
The couple's first son Zachary was also born via a surrogacy arrangement in California in 2010.
