Sir Elton John’s new baby son Zachary is ‘living like royalty’ in his own £1.3million apartment adjoining the singer’s exclusive Los Angeles pad.

The Mail on Sunday has learned that Sir Elton, 63, and his partner David Furnish have appointed a top Hollywood interior designer to turn the flat beside their luxury home into a dream nursery.

‘From what I understand the baby and his nannies are living in one apartment and Elton and David are living in another.’

The couple have hired ‘interior designer to the stars’ Martyn Lawrence-Bullard to decorate the baby’s apartment. Lawrence-Bullard, who also masterminded Sir Elton’s flat, was overheard telling a friend: ‘I am still decorating it. It is not quite finished yet.’

A source at the building, the 32-storey Sierra Towers, said last night: ‘It seems a slightly odd arrangement when you have waited so long to have a child. It certainly gives a new answer to the question: what do you give the baby who has everything? His own flat, of course.

‘Everyone in the building has been talking of nothing else but the baby all week.

‘Apparently he is seriously cute with wispy blond hair. He is in his own apartment with a Filipino lady and an African-American nurse, who are with him 24/7.’

I can’t even comprehend having my newborn baby in a separate apartment - these two aging queens are disturbingly detached “parents”

Sick people all the way around.

I wonder what prominent conservatives they'll con into being godparents.

two nannies ninnies round-the-clock

There, fixed!

That poor child will grow up without the unique and irreplaceable love of a mother.

And with two very screwed up “fathers.”

It was a play on words, I assume :)

Perhaps a famous conservative radio show host who has an abysmal track record on marriage and let his bride pressure him into paying Elton a million bucks to sing at his wedding.

Perhaps you lead such a stellar, fault free, sinless life that you can have the same influence Rush has had.....and make a fortune dong it.

Jealous or envvious much?

He does seem unclear on the concept of parenthood. The whole reason babies are cute is so that parents WILL drag themselves out of bed at 2:30 am to feed them, WILL put up with their collicky crying for hours on end, WILL NOT leave them out in the snow when they throw up on their brand new sofa, WILL forego other pleasure to spend time with them, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

The hardship, the struggle, the forgiveness and the sacrifice are what bond us to our children. Elton will never have this bond without paying his dues.

They should have named the kid “Victor Timothy,” or “Vic Tim” for short.

gotcha

I’m more perfect than he is.
