Elton John and David Furnish Pick Lesbian Couple as Godparents to Son

New parents Elton John and David Furnish have named two close friends, a lesbian couple, to be their son's godparents.

Magazine editor Ingrid Sischy and her partner, Sandy Brant, will be godmothers for Zachary Furnish-John, who was born on Christmas Day to a surrogate mother.

The four have been friends for years and vacation together regularly. An unnamed source told the Daily Mail that Sischy and Brant were among a small handful of people Furnish and John entrusted with the details of the surrogate pregnancy.
