Elton John told a US TV audience that his son's godmother is Lady Gaga.

Elton has been talking about Zachary, the surrogate son produced for him and partner David Furnish by a woman in California, telling a US TV audience: "For those of you concerned that we are unusual parents, don’t worry, 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."
