London
(ANI):
Sir
Elton
John
and
his
partner
David
Furnish
have
chosen
two
of
their
oldest
and
dearest
friends,
not
belonging
to
his
celebrity
coterie,
as
godmothers
for
their
two-week-old
son
Zachary.
The
couple
has
selected
Scottish-educated
magazine
editor
Ingrid
Sischy
and
her
lesbian
partner
Sandy
Brant
to
be
Zachary"s
moral
guardians.
“Elton
could
have
picked
anyone
from
the
world
of
showbusiness
to
be
godparents
but
he
chose
a
couple
of
dear
friends
who
will
take
their
role
seriously," the
Daily
Mail
quoted
a
close
pal
of
the
superstar
as
saying.
“Ingrid
and
Sandy
are
two
of
the
most
genuine
people
they
know.
They
were
among
a
handful
of
people
Elton
entrusted
with
the
details
of
the
surrogate
pregnancy.
Zachary
means
everything
to
Elton
and
David
and
they
have
chosen
Ingrid
and
Sandy
as
godmothers
for
the
traditional
reason:
to
take
care
of
the
child"s
welfare
in
case
something
happens
to
them,"
said
the
pal.
Another
friend
added,
“Elton
and
David
still
haven"t
decided
exactly
how
many
godparents
to
have.
They
want
to
have
a
member
of
David"s
family
and
they
may
still
choose
someone
else
who
is
high
profile."
Meanwhile,
Elton"s
spokesman
declined
to
disclose
any
detail
to
the
report
saying,
“I
don"t
have
a
comment.
It"s
a
private
matter."
