Who is the Canadian filmmaker that Elton John married?

Who is the Canadian filmmaker that Elton John married? The answer is David Furnish.

David Furnish is a Canadian filmmaker, producer, artist manager, and former advertising executive from Toronto. He met Elton John in 1993, and the two began a long-term relationship that has also included extensive creative and charitable work together.

Furnish directed the documentary Elton John: Tantrums & Tiaras and has produced films including Gnomeo & Juliet and Sherlock Gnomes through Rocket Pictures, the production company he co-leads with John. He has also served as chairman of the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

The couple entered a civil partnership in Windsor on 21 December 2005, the first day civil partnerships could be performed in England and Wales. After same-sex marriage became legal there in 2014, they converted their partnership into a marriage and held a ceremony on 21 December 2014.

The distractors are people from different parts of John's life: Bernie Taupin is his longtime songwriting partner, John Reid was a former manager, and David Geffen is an entertainment executive. None is the Canadian filmmaker John married.
