The Rolling Stones frontman and his partner, 29-year-old ballerina Melanie Hamrick, welcomed a baby boy on Thursday in New York, a rep for Jagger, 73, confirmed to The Huffington Post. The spokesperson added both Jagger and Hamrick are “delighted.”

Jagger is father to seven other children Karis, Jade, Elizabeth, James, Georgia, Gabriel and Lucas and a grandfather of two, and a great-grandfather to one. Meanwhile, the new baby is Hamrick’s first child.
The music icon and Hamrick began dating in 2014 and announced their pregnancy in July, about two months after fellow Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood welcomed twins with wife Sally at age 68.
