Four years old on February 10.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to see a photo of the little ones!
But of course they would prefer to keep them away from the internet, and rightfully so.

Adam has a 'friending everyone back' policy on Facebook and he posted a cute short vid of Cassius on his birthday.
And there's this (somewhat outdated, kids grow fast :) ) photo of Leonard and Cassius. I found it on the web but I don't remember the source, sorry.

Sorry about being inconsiderate. I found that picture in someone's collection and assumed it was public. I did't know it was from Adam's Facebook but I should have checked it before posting. :oops:

Very cute. Thanks for that. Heartening also to hear such a musical family sing 'Happy Birthday' so off key! :)
Listening to some of Adams songs, though very much his own voice, he's definitely got something of his father's voice.

Hello from Galway Ireland!

I am after tuning into Leonard Cohen Files....and I hear he is a Grandpa again...to
Viva Katherine...what a really lovely combination of names...My late mum was called
Katherine and my little niece and godchild also....so there is a connection in my life
therefore!

Such wonderful moments for the proud Grandad! and I hope he has had a great
rest and time to catch up with family and friends after his long treck on the
road over the past year!!

As I have not been on the web since before Christmas., a Very Belated
Happy 2011 to Leonard and his Wonderful family and health & happinness
to this lovely new Little One into his life.

Forever your loyal Fan in the West of Ireland

Let's get this ...straight.... Rufus the father of the child? Hmmm I really don't think so!
Anyway enough speculation,as long as mother and baby are in good health.

Oh I nearly forgot I have an exclusive photograph of the beautiful baby!
Not wishing to sound boastful but I have been told she looks a lot like me!

Well Kwills, I think you are in the minority!!!!! I personally think that Rufus is the biological father of Viva, and I know I'm not alone!!!! Time will tell!!!!
But whatever, we wish the best for Lorca and Viva!

From the Rufus Wainwright message board:

as Richard noted in the SF thread, Rufus came out and dedicated a BEAUTIFUL version of Kate's Southern Men to little Viva - "announcement to follow next week"

When is Hallmark going to create a Sperm Donor's Day card as I read somewhere that only fifty percent of the US population was married? "Viva" is the name of a beautiful Andy Warhol superstar who lived in the Chelsea in the '60s and is still alive and painting in California, I believe. She wrote a book about having a baby which was not as popular as her book about being a Superstar in Andy's movies. Perhaps little Viva is named for her.

Perhaps the name is nothing to do with Rufus, but rather a tribute to A.W. Wainwright, famous British fellwalker and writer? ;-)

Lorca's parents never married either which is weird when you consider all the wedding romanticism in Leonard's songs and all the brides and grooms who use songs like "Dance me to the End of Love" at their wedding.

It has been announced on Rufus Wainwright official website:

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. The little angel is evidently healthy, presumably happy and certainly very very beautiful.

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."

(from http://www.rufuswainwright.com/news/)

Wonderful news!!!!

That's a term or phrase I've never heard before... what is a "Deputy Dad"?
