Elton John‘s baby boy has arrived! After a week of rumors circulating he and husband David Furnish had welcomed a second child together, the singer has announced the happy news himself.

Revealing the birth announcement to the UK’s Hello! magazine, Elton John let it be known Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John was born at 6.40pm on Friday January 11, 2013, weighing 8lb 4oz.

The dapper dads, seen here at last year’s Golden Globe Awards, are also parents of 2-year-old son Zachary.

The 65-year-old Rocket Man singer shared in a statement:

“Both of us have longed to have children, but the reality that we now have two sons is almost unbelievable. The birth of our second son completes our family in a most precious and perfect way. It is difficult to fully express how we are feeling at this time; we are just overwhelmed with happiness and excitement.”

So sweet! You may recall Zachary was born via surrogate, and it is believed Elton John and David Furnish chose the same California-based woman to carry Elijah. Coincidentally, that same woman also gave birth to Camille and Kelsey Grammer’s two children during their marriage!

(I’m going with the term “womblings” to describe the interesting connection between the Furnish-John boys and the Grammer kids. Sound good?)

Elton John and David Furnish have welcomed their second child, a boy name Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John.

Ellijah joins big brother Zachary, 2, and was welcomed via a surrogate just as his brother was. He was born January 11, 2013.

“Both of us have longed to have children, but the reality that we now have two sons is almost unbelievable," the “Rocket Man” singer, 65, said on his official website.

He linked to an exclusive feature on Hello!’s website, announcing the birth of Elijah.

“The birth of our second son completes our family in a most precious and perfect way. It is difficult to fully express how we are feeling at this time; we are just overwhelmed with happiness and excitement."

John said last summer “I think it’s difficult to be an only child, and to be an only child of someone famous," adding, "I want Zachary to have a sibling."

John and Furnish, 50, got married in 2005 after 12 years together.

Elton John has officially confirmed the birth of his second son, and revealed the name of the addition to his growing family.

The 'Rocket Man' singer has revealed that their second son is named Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John, and was born on Friday in LA.

Elijah was born through a surrogate mother, the same woman who carried their first child Zachary, and weighed 8lb 4oz.

Elijah will be a little brother to Zachary, who was born in December 2010. Elton said in interviews last year that the couple would 'definitely' have a second child, telling the media, "At what stage we don't know, but we definitely will."

Now he has told Hello!, "Both of us have longed to have children, but the reality that we now have two sons is almost unbelievable.

"The birth of our second son completes our family in a most precious and perfect way. It is difficult to fully express how we are feeling at this time - we are just overwhelmed with happiness and excitement."

He has previously said that he didn't want Zachary to be an only child, saying, "I think it's difficult to be an only child, and to be an only child of someone famous," he said. "I want Zachary to have a sibling."
