Lady Gaga's Godson Breastfed Via FedEx

Elton John and David Furnish didn't reveal their potential parenthood to the world until young Zachary was born on Christmas Day, but four months later the famous two-dad pair provided a boost to breastfeeding lobbyists.

In an interview with Barbara Walters, Sir Elton revealed Zachary's diet includes breast milk from his surrogate mother. Since his birth in December 2010, the milk has been sent via FedEx to the Los Angeles area, where the family has lived since taking Zachary home from the hospital.

Putting the end to previous rumors about Zachary's godmother, Furnish and John confirmed Lady Gaga's role in his life. John had joked about Gaga being involved in a "Saturday Night Live" episode he hosted earlier in the month, but neither father previously confirmed her role in the baby's life.

According to MTV News, Furnish explained the selection of Gaga, discussing how Zachary will ultimately inherit John's musical legend and saying "she will be a good person to guide him through the ins and outs of the music business, 'cause she sure knows everything about the business now."

A surrogate mother delivered Zachary, who carries a hyphenated last name of both fathers (Furnish-John), on Christmas Day. As a breastfed child at more than four months old, he is among the minority in the UK, as studies have shown more than 50 percent of the country's infants are formula-fed by 10-weeks old. Furnish and John introduced Zachary to the world in a January issue of "US Weekly" magazine and later revealed they both contributed to the sperm donation, using a sperm mixing method.

Although John is 63 years old and Furnish is 48, the pair hinted there could be siblings for young Zachary in the future and also noted the surrogate and her family will continue to be a part of their lives as Zachary Furnish-John grows up.

John took part in the opening of Tribeca 2011, performing a concert in conjunction with the premiere of Cameron Crowe's documentary about his record with Leon Russell before the family heads to London as guests at the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
