Mick Jagger welcomes his eighth child at 73

For this man, age is just a number

Sir Mick Jagger has long been proving to us that age is just a number. This time he has gone one step further and became a father for the eighth time at the age of 73.

Already a father to seven children, whose ages range from 17 to 45, Mick became a great-grandfather to Jade Jagger's daughter in 2014.

His 29-year-old American ballerina girlfriend, Melanie Hamrick gave birth to his eight child, a baby boy, in New York on Thursday.

BBC reports that Mick Jagger's publicist Bernard Doherty spoke up about this auspicious event and revealed that they were "both delighted" at the birth. He also reported that "Mick was at the hospital for the arrival." and further added, "Mother and baby are doing well and we request that the media respect their privacy at this time."

Hamrick began dating Mick Jagger after his partner of thirteen years, L'Wren Scott committed suicide in 2014.



The music star and Rolling Stones frontman has had a long list of famous exes with whom he has had children namely, Marsha Hunt, Bianca Jagger, Jerry Hall and Luciana Gimenez Morad.

Here's what Twitterati had to say:

Deeply disturbing that Mick Jagger, 73, has had a baby with Melanie Hamrick, 29. How can this possibly work? She's far too old for him.

Just when you think the world’s gone crazy you find out Mick Jagger had a baby with a 29-year-old ballerina & everything makes sense again.

Mick Jagger, 73 & his partner had a baby today. This child (his 8th) is younger than Mick’s great-granddaughter. I'll just leave that there.

Mick Jagger is 73 and he just had a baby with a 29 year old. I can't even get a text back.
