CEBU, Philippines - Veteran British rocker Mick Jagger celebrated becoming a father again at 73 years old, his publicist said, as his Rolling Stones band look set to top the album charts for the first time in two decades.
The singer’s 29-year-old ballerina partner Melanie Hamrick gave birth to a son in New York on Thursday, according to a statement released on behalf the singer.
Jagger’s new son is some two and a half years younger than the singer’s great-granddaughter, who was born in May 2014.
Jagger already has seven children ranging in age from 17 to 46 from four previous relationships: Karis, Jade, Elizabeth, James, Georgia, Gabriel and Lucas.
He has five grandchildren and, since May 2014, a great-grandchild after his granddaughter Assisi gave birth to a baby girl.
Jagger began dating Hamrick shortly after the suicide in 2014 of L’Wren Scott, his partner of 13 years.
On Sunday, The Rolling Stones’ new studio album “Blue & Lonesome” is expected to hit the top of Britain’s album chart.
The band’s first studio release in more than a decade — a collection of blues covers — was by far the top selling album in the midweek chart.
