"Both of us have longed to have children, but the reality that we now have two sons is almost unbelievable," the singer told Hello! magazine on January 15. "The birth of our second son completes our family in a most precious and perfect way. It is difficult to fully express how we are feeling at this time; we are just overwhelmed with happiness and excitement."

The couple welcomed Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John at 6:40 p.m. on Friday, January 11. The baby boy, who weighed in at 8 pounds and 4 ounces, was born in Los Angeles via a surrogate, according to the magazine.
