Is Mick Jagger Set to Welcome Baby Number Nine at 80? Find Out Now!
Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger may be 80 years old with eight children, but his days as a baby daddy may not be over just yet. Close friends of his fiancée, Melanie Hamrick, have revealed that she is eager to have another child with Mick, which would mark his ninth. According to a source, Melanie adores Mick and believes he is a fantastic father. It wouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone if an announcement is made soon.
The couple currently enjoys raising their seven-year-old son, Deveraux, nicknamed Devi, together and are considering giving him a sibling, if fate permits. Mick is currently on tour with the Stones in the U.S., with Melanie and Devi accompanying him. The ’24 tour of Hackney Diamonds will hit Las Vegas tomorrow and conclude in California in July.
In an interview last year, Mick expressed a hint of weariness when it comes to raising babies, mentioning that it’s something you can get out of practice with. He humorously remarked, ‘It’s not like riding a bike.’
Deveraux was born in 2016, making him 17 years younger than Mick’s next youngest child, Lucas, whom he shares with model Luciana Giminez. Mick shared insights on parenting, noting that each child has their unique personality, and as a parent, you can help shape them to a certain extent. He finds joy in having children, regardless of age, but laments the challenges of balancing work and parenting responsibilities.
Last December, Melanie posted photos on Instagram of Mick, herself, and Deveraux celebrating their son’s birthday, expressing her love for Devi in a heartfelt message. Despite Mick only being legally wed once to Bianca Jagger, his enduring, though unofficial, relationship with model Jerry Hall was often referred to as a marriage. Their bond remains strong post her split from media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
His current relationship with former ballet dancer Melanie Hamrick seems to be a harmonious one, with no intentions of formalizing the union in marriage. Hamrick, who released a ballet-themed novel last year, is described as a perfect match for Mick and a calming presence in his complex family dynamic.
Mick’s brood comprises Karis, Jade, Lizzie, James, Georgia May, Gabriel, Lucas, and Deveraux, from various relationships, showcasing the expansive nature of his family. Despite his rockstar status and age, Mick Jagger seems to continue embracing fatherhood with open arms, and who knows, another addition to his growing family might be just around the corner.
