Hallelujah! Rufus Wainwright has baby with Leonard Cohen's daughter

A year after revealing his 'paternal feelings' Rufus reveals that Lorca Cohen has given birth to a baby girl who will be brought up by both of her parents, as well as Wainwright's partner

With a bit of luck her singing voice might take more after her late grandma... :-)

A few years ago I went to see Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion....their little daughter was running around near the merch desk being cared for by a nanny. A great burden of expectation also surrounds this young lady....apart from Woody, Arlo et al on her mother's side, she's also John Steinbeck's great niece

"she said to her dad: 'You know, it's pretty amazing watching how the baby became a person.' Leonard looked at her and replied very drily, as only he could: 'You know, it's pretty much the only amazing thing there is.'"

That is such a classic Leonard Cohen quote.
