Congratulations are in order for Canadian-America singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright!
Rufus and his longtime partner, Jorn Weisbrodt, are the proud new parents of a baby girl.
“Darling daughter Viva Katherine Wainwright Cohen was born on February 2, 2011 in Los Angeles, California to proud parents Lorca Cohen, Rufus Wainwright and Deputy Dad Jorn Weisbrodt,” Rufus announced in a post on his personal website on Friday. “The little angel is evidently healthy, presumably happy and certainly very very beautiful.
“Daddy #1 would like to offer everyone a digital cigar,” Rufus, 37, continued.
The baby’s mother, Lorca Cohen, is the daughter of legendary singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, who penned “Hallelujah.” Rufus recorded a version of the famous ballad, which was featured on the soundtrack for the animated blockbuster, “Shrek.”
