In 1980, John Lennon dedicated the song Beautiful Boy to Sean, his only son with Yoko Ono, who was just five years old at the time. In the beautiful verses of this musical dedication, the singer told his son that "life is what happens while you are busy making other plans."
Today, Sean Ono Lennon is 50 years old and has become a father with his 39-year-old wife. "Well... Charlotte and I want to announce that indeed we have created a human being. His name is Aurelius! Thank you!" the musician announced on social media alongside a lovely family picture. In the photograph, his wife, the American singer and model Charlotte Kemp Mulh, poses with the newborn.
In another Instagram post, Sean shared an image where both are holding the baby. However, the most surreal one is a picture in which Charlotte poses on the street with the baby in a carrier while holding a crustacean. "We have made a human! I am convinced that DNA is an alien quaternary code with a will of its own. The lack of sleep only adds more surrealism to the matter... Advice on burping techniques welcomed. I have been playing Aphex Twin and Stravinsky for him. Meconium is crazy," he wrote.
This is the couple's first child, who have been together since 2007, and would also be John Lennon's first grandchild, who died on December 8, 1980, at the age of 40, after being shot multiple times by Mark David Chapman outside the Dakota building in New York. For his mother, Yoko Ono, this is her first grandson. The Japanese artist is a grandmother to two granddaughters from her eldest daughter Kyoko Chan Cox, from her first marriage to American filmmaker Anthony Cox.
Sean and Charlotte have not only been together for almost 20 years but also seem to understand each other perfectly, as evidenced by their posts on their social media accounts. Both musicians share the same sense of humor and way of expressing themselves.
These days, their social media accounts have been filled with congratulations from celebrities, including Patti Smith, Willow Smith, and Paris Hilton. Although no comment is as noteworthy as that of his brother Julian, John Lennon's son with his first wife, Cynthia. He commented with a heart on Sean's post, and Sean responded to the comment with a simple and affectionate phrase: "Uncle Jules!"
The eldest of the Lennon siblings never married or had children, partly due to the difficult relationship he had with his father, who was at the peak of his career when he became a father.
