Elton John’s kids are all grown up!
The teenagers — whom the musician shares with husband David Furnish — posed with their parents for a new family portrait obtained by People.
Zachary, 15, and Elijah, 13, both sported simple black T-shirts and matching black loafers for the photo shoot, which was shot in their home library.
John, 78, took a more stylish approach, rocking a dark purple suit with blue glasses and sneakers, while Furnish, 63, wore a green suit and a light blue shirt.
Also pictured were their two dogs: Labradors Joseph and Jacob.
According to UK’s The Telegraph, the portrait was shot three days before Christmas by photographer Catherine Opie and will be on display at London’s National Portrait Gallery.
“To have our family photographed by Catherine Opie and on display at the National Portrait Gallery is a huge honor,” John and Furnish told the outlet. “We are huge admirers of her work and proud to have her beautiful and poignant images in our collection.”
Opie also gushed about the experience, telling the Telegraph that it was “truly an honor” to work with the family, adding, “For me, it represents the humanity of what family can be.”
Additionally, Victoria Siddall, director of the National Portrait Gallery, released a statement.
“It celebrates not only Sir Elton John’s extraordinary achievements in music but also the vital humanitarian and philanthropic work that he and David have undertaken in recent decades, and the family they have built together,” she explained.
John and Furnish originally met through mutual friends in 1993 and entered a civil union in 2005.
Since then, they welcomed their two children via surrogate and officially tied the knot on Dec. 21, 2014.
The “Tiny Dancer” singer later called fatherhood “the greatest thing” during his guest appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in 2016.
“If you’d had said to me 10 years ago I’d be sitting on your show married to the man I love and have two beautiful children I would have said, ‘You put acid in my drink,’” he joked at the time.
“But life throws you challenges and life throws you curveballs — great curveballs — and these two children have come along at a time I never thought I’d have children. There’s no words to describe how much we love these boys. They’re just amazing.”
In 2019, the legendary musician said that he tries to leave his stage persona behind when he’s home with his sons.
“They know what daddy does, but I never bring Elton home. I try to leave Elton on the stage,” John told reporters at the time.
“They know that daddy is famous but … they’re quite grounded, as far as that goes. They love their daddy’s music, but they also like a lot of other people’s music.”
