The legendary Rolling Stones frontman continues to get satisfaction from fatherhood: He became a dad for the eighth time at 73 when he and ballerina girlfriend Melanie Hamrick welcomed son Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger on Dec. 8, 2016.
Mick is also dad to daughter Karis Hunt Jagger (Nov. 4, 1970) with Marsha Hunt; daughter Jade Sheena Jezebel Jagger (Oct. 21, 1971) with first wife Bianca Pérez-Mora Macias; daughters Elizabeth “Lizzy” Scarlett Jagger (March 2, 1984) and Georgia May Ayeesha Jagger (Jan. 12, 1992) and sons James Leroy Augustin Jagger (1985) and Gabriel Luke Beauregard Jagger (1987) with longtime partner Jerry Hall; and son Lucas Maurice Morad Jagger (1999) with Luciana Gimenez.
Meanwhile, the granddad of five is also a great-grandfather to daughter Jade’s two granddaughters.
“It’s very hard to be a good father, it doesn’t matter what your profession,” Mick said in an interview years ago when asked if it was difficult to be a good dad and a rock ‘n’ roll star. “I think it’s very hard to be a good parent. It’s a lot of work—you need a lot of time. I see my children on the road, but they behaved so badly [laughs] because they have everything open. And I see their behavior and I think, Oh, they’re just behaving like me.”
For instance, they didn’t want to go to bed when they were told, or get up when they were supposed to. “They get into this rock ‘n’ roll routine,” he said. “And I think, ‘Oh my god, 6 and you’re already doing it.'”
