Mick Jagger and his 29-year-old girlfriend are expecting a child

Seventy two years old and he’s still getting some satisfaction.

Good for Mick!

This will be his 8th child. His first with girlfriend Melanie Hamrick.

The Sun reports that the couple is “over the moon,” “surprised and happy” about the news.

“This is great news. It will be Mick’s eighth child and nothing fazes him. He’s been incredibly supportive. She’s very bright, intelligent, sparky and has her own ideas about how she wants to lead her life. 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 are taking the news in their stride.”

Mick and Melanie have been seeing each other since 2014. According to the source, “they’ve seen each other a lot, they like each other a lot but they still want independent lives. Mick’s relationship with Melanie works for both of them. Melanie is very American and doesn’t want to move to London, even though they’ve been seeing each other regularly over a long period of time now. Mick likes the arrangement they have and doesn’t want to be in another formal relationship. But the most important thing is how much he loves his children and he has great relations with them. He will support and love this child.”

Of course Mick likes the arrangement. After all, this woman used to be his secret girlfriend. I have no doubt that Mick loves his kids but I’d never call him a monogamist.

Congrats Mick and Melanie!
