Mick Jagger has become a dad-of-eight at the age of 73.
The Rolling Stone’s frontman’s girlfriend Melanie Hamrick, 29, has given birth to their first baby together, his publicist announced on Thursday 8 December.
A statement said: “Melanie Hamrick and Mick Jagger’s son was born today in New York and they are both delighted.
“Mick was at the hospital for the arrival. Mother and baby are doing well and we request that the media respect their privacy at this time.”
Jagger and Hamrick have been in a relationship since 2014 and have seen each other regularly over the past two years, despite living ‘independent lives’.
They announced Hamrick was pregnant in July, shortly after Jagger’s bandmate Ronnie Wood welcomed twins, making him a dad-of-six.
Jagger has seven children other children – Georgia, James, Jade, Elizabeth, Lucas, Karis and Gabriel – who range in age from 45 to 17. He is also a grandfather of two.
The baby’s gender and name have not yet been revealed.
Congratulations to the couple!
