Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger has become father for the eighth time at the age of 73.
His girlfriend, American ballerina Melanie Hamrick, 29, gave birth to a baby boy in New York last Thursday, the singer’s publicist Bernard Doherty said.
The singer already has seven children whose ages range from 17 to 45. He has five grandchildren and became a great-grandfather in May 2014 when his granddaughter Assisi, daughter of Jade Jagger, gave birth to a baby girl.
A statement said Hamrick and Sir Mick were “both delighted” at the birth. It added: “Mick was at the hospital for the arrival.”
The music star started dating Hamrick after the suicide of L'Wren Scott in 2014, his partner of 13 years.
Sir Mick had his other children with Marsha Hunt, Bianca Jagger, Jerry Hall and Luciana Gimenez Morad.
