David Furnish and Sir Elton John, partners for over two decades, are raising two sons, Zachary and Elijah, with an emphasis on humility and financial responsibility. While John has had a prolific career, he is now focused on his family, having transitioned from a brief romance with Furnish in 1993 to marriage in 2014.
The couple’s parenting journey began in 2009 with the adoption of Lev, an HIV orphan, and continued with the births of Zachary (2010) and Elijah (2013) via surrogates. John and Furnish prioritize hands-on parenting and teach their children the value of money through chores and allowances, ensuring they grow up with a sense of responsibility. Despite their wealth, they aim to maintain normalcy in their children’s lives, often spending time outside their mansion in the community.
