Mick Jagger, 72, to become father for eighth time

Mick Jagger’s representatives have said that the rock legend is expecting his eighth child.

They confirmed a report by People magazine and other media outlets that Jagger’s girlfriend, Melanie Hamrick, 29, was pregnant, the Guardian reports.

Jagger, the 72-year-old frontman of the Rolling Stones, has seven children – Georgia, James, Jade, Elizabeth, Lucas, Karis and Gabriel – who range in age from 45 to 17. He is also a grandfather of two.

W magazine, which reports on fashion and celebrities, says Hamrick is a ballerina who has performed with the American Ballet Theatre in New York.

In May, fellow Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood became a father again at 68 after his wife, Sally Humphreys, gave birth to twin girls.
