Singer Rufus Wainwright is a father -- he, along with his partner Jorn Weisbrodt and Leonard Cohen's daughter, welcomed Viva Katherine Wainwright Cohen into the world on February 2.

The baby girl was born in Los Angeles via a surrogate -- Lorca Cohen, daughter of the musician Leonard Cohen, carried the child.

Wainwright released a statement on his website: "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, A La Claire Fontaine : 'Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, jamais je ne t'oublierai.'"
