Hmmm, we’re still getting our heads around this one. Rufus Wainwright has announced that he’s become a father, with Leonard Cohen’s daughter having given birth to their son on February 2nd. The child will be brought up by Wainwright, his partner Jorn Weisbrodt and Lorca Cohen.
In an announcement on his website Wainwright says “Darling daughter Viva Katherine Wainwright Cohen was born on 2 February 2011 in Los Angeles, California. The little angel is evidently healthy, presumably happy and certainly very, very beautiful. Daddy #1 would like to offer everyone a digital cigar and welcome the little lady in with a French phrase from his favorite folk song, À La Claire Fontaine: ‘Il y a longtemps que je t’aime, jamais je ne t’oublierai.'”
It is unclear whether the child was conceived in the traditional sense or with a modern ‘turkey baster’ style approach.
