Lady Gaga Will be Godmother to Elton John's Son

By AOL Music Editors Posted Apr 5th 2011 12:25AM

Elton John has confirmed that Lady Gaga is the godmother of his son.

In his appearance on 'Saturday Night Live' this past weekend, the 'Rocket Man' joked about parenthood during the opening monologue, saying he still hasn't "lost the baby weight" and let it slip that Gaga is the godmother. John and partner David Furnish recently became parents to son Zachary, who was born this past Christmas.

"For those of you concerned that we are unusual parents, don't worry," said John. "It's not like we are the only two people involved in the child's life. His godmother is Lady Gaga. That is true. It's not a joke. Lady Gaga is his actual godmother, which is ironic, because I've always said that Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids. And Gaga loves Mars. She says Mars has good schools and great discos."

For a while, John was hush on the identity of his son's godmother, but Furnish never denied that it's Gaga when asked earlier this year. "She's all about inclusiveness and tolerance," said Furnish. "She believes that you can be whoever you want to be and that we don't have to live in a world of conformity and that we can all [benefit] from individuality. That's the best message in the world. The freedom to be who you are, do what you want and love who you want to love."

Gaga even remained silent on the godmother question in a recent BBC Radio 1 interview. "I don't really want to reveal anything," she said. "They're going to make many lovely announcements about their beautiful son Zachary. I'm too much of a lady to talk about that on the air."

not even a possibility of this kid being messed up, is there?

Zach is a VERY lucky kid! Hopefully a child will chill Elton. He seems to be more cranky in his old age.

Let the freak-a-thon begin.

It is a shame that nothing normal surrounds this family.

By Bobby

Wouldn't you know...two of a kind. You would think he would want to give his son the best chance starting out. One more potentially messed up kid.

O-M-Gag

By POOR KID

Why not just two god fathers?????

By Kry

I'm disappointed in you, Elton.

By K

Do they even know what a Godmother or Godfather is? He/she is supposed to be the person helping the child grow in the Catholic Christian Faith. What a mockery they make of this. A poor child being raised by gay men and godmothered by a lesbian. I'm not trying to judge, but it's not looking good...

By Christie

Oh really, you're not trying to judge? Could've fooled me.
Perhaps this child will be raised to be tolerant and accepting of others. Sounds great.
My "good christian" godfather touched me starting at age 6, so there you go.

FYI Christie, we are accepting of all sorts. Don't believe everything you see on TV. And as for the good Christian godfather who touched you, I hope for his sake he repents, because it's not looking good for him either. And I hope you can learn to forgive and live without a hardened heart. But don't categorize us all the same because of what one foolish person did to you. I'm sad and sorry this happened to you, but that's not how we all are. All I was saying is that calling lady gaga a godmother is a mockery and a title she shouldn't carry because she does not set the example of a godmother. And your Godfather doesn't set the true example of one either. Peace be with you.

Who are you to say whether or not she should carry that title? Again, you are JUDGING when it is not your place to do so. She could be very inspirational, accepting and loving to that child. You do not know.

That said, I appreciate your other sentiments.

By Bonbon

Does that mean if something happens to them she get's custody? that is sick, Elton has so many friends why pick her? they are not even long time friends, poor Zachary.

By Jerry

I want Sir Elton John to pull down my pants and put me over his knee for a spanking! I know I'd cry out cuz his palm would sting so he could hold one hand over my mouth and spank me with the other! And NO I am not gay so don't post and say that I am!!!
