Elton John’s Grown Sons are Handsome and Humble
Sir Elton John and his husband, David Furnish, have been together for over two decades. The couple also share two sons, Zackary and Elijah, who they are trying to raise to be humble and appreciative of the value of money.
Raising Children with Humility
Despite their busy lifestyle, the couple wanted to be hands-on with their children. “We don’t want to put the raising of children into the hands of nannies and housekeepers,” said Furnish. Becoming parents was the best decision for the couple, and moving forward, their main goal is to raise their sons to be happy and healthy.
Fostering a Connection with Money and Values
Since becoming a parent, John opened up about how his perspective on life changed and some of the integral things he and his husband would like to instill in their children. John and Furnish have been teaching their children the value of money and the work needed to earn it.
Teaching Children about Money and Fame
From when the boys were toddlers, John has tried to teach them the value of money. At five and three years old, Zachary and Elijah might not have understood how famous their parents were, but one thing John and Furnish did was teach them about spending and saving money.
Family Time and Normalcy
John and his husband usually keep their sons out of social media, but the “Rocket Man” singer shared a rare photo of Furnish, their sons, and their godmother, Lady Gaga. The singer expressed how he was sad to have missed out on the moment to pose with them but still sent his love.
Celebrating Family Bonds and Milestones
John and his partner just celebrated Elijah’s 11th birthday and commemorated the special event with a picture on Instagram. “You fill our hearts with so much love and laughter. We love you. Papa and Daddy xo” wrote the singer. John is also set to be celebrating his 77th birthday on March 25, 2024!
