Elton John & David Furnish

Elton John has been creating music for almost six decades now, but behind his flamboyant persona lies a more laid-back and loving partner. If you haven’t been in the loop about the English singer’s life, he has been married to David Furnish since 2014. However, they officially became civil partners 9 years earlier in 2005. Before all of that happened, though, John and Furnish had to start from scratch.

The two were complete strangers when they met in 1993. The singer had just got out of a rough patch in his life and was ready to surround himself with new faces. He decided to throw a party, and lo and behold, Furnish was there among the crowd. The two instantly clicked, and the rest was history. Today, the two are busy taking care of their children’s needs, including educational insurance.
