It's another boy for Elton John and husband David Furnish!

The longtime couple welcomed their second son together, Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John, on Friday, the singer announced on his website

Meaning, the little guy was born barely a day after John's rep was busy doling out denials that their second child had arrived. Which, technically, he hadn't.

Oh, well, but he's here now! Elijah was born via surrogate in Los Angeles at 6:40 p.m., weighing 8 pounds, 4 ounces, according to his ecstatic dads.

"Both of us have longed to have children, but the reality that we now have two sons is almost unbelievable," John and Furnish told Hello! "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."

E! News learned back in October that the couple were expecting a new addition to their family. They welcomed Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John on Dec. 25, 2010.

But no wonder they're done now—there aren't any boy names left! Congratulations to the proud parents!
