Elton John & David Furnish

Now hailed as one of the best-selling musical artists of all time, Elton John did not initially experience the same kind of luck in his love life. Briefly married to a woman in the ’80s, it wasn’t until the dissolution of that union and Elton coming out as gay that he found real love.

Enter David Furnish, a former advertising executive and Canadian filmmaker. Not only was David already an affluent and grounded individual, his unfazed attitude towards Elton’s fame also endeared him tremendously to the musical superstar. The loving couple split their time between raising their family and running their countless philanthropies to aid various causes dear to them.
