Mick Jagger is expecting his eighth child at the age of 72, his spokesperson confirmed Friday.

The Rolling Stones star's girlfriend Melanie Hamrick, a 29-year-old American ballet dancer, is pregnant with the couple's first child together.

They met in 2014 shortly after the death of his long-time fashion designer girlfriend L'Wren Scott and began dating shortly after.

Jagger is already father to seven children aged between 17 and 45, as well as a grandfather and great-grandfather. His granddaughter Assisi Jagger—daughter of Jade Jagger—welcomed the star's first great-grandchild in May 2014.

Fellow Stone Ronnie Wood, 69, is also a father again. His wife Sally Humphreys, 38, gave birth to twins in May.
