Baby number 8! Mick Jagger is set to become a DAD again at 72
According to emerging reports, Rolling Stones frontman, Mick Jagger, is set to become a dad for the eight time at the age of 72.
With People magazine speculating over whether Sir Mick and his 29-year-old partner, Melanie Hamrick, were indeed expecting, a representative for the British rocker confirmed the news this week.
Speaking to The Sun, a source close to the couple explained that while Mick and Melanie were thrilled by the news, they intend to take the development in their stride.
"She knows what a great relationship Mick has with all of his children and can't wait for him to be a dad again," they said. "They are taking the news in their stride."
Paying tribute to the ballerina who began dating the Rolling Stones frontman following the death of his partner, L'Wren Scott in 2014, the source added: "She's very bright, intelligent, sparky and has her own ideas about how she wants to lead her life."
With some corners of society raising an eyebrow at the expectant father's age, the insider insisted: "This is great news. It will be Mick's eighth child and nothing fazes him. He's been incredibly supportive."
The news comes just two months after Mick's bandmate, Ronnie Wood, welcomed twins at the age of 68.
