  • Mick Jagger Becomes a Great-Grandfather at 70

    Whoah! Mick Jagger, 70, has just become a great-grandfather. Can you think of a cooler great-granddad than the iconic rock star?

    The Rolling Stones‘ front man’s 21-year-old granddaughter, Assisi Jackson, has reportedly given birth to a baby girl. The child’s name has not been made public.

    “The women in our family just tend to have children young, it runs in the genes,” Jagger’s granddaughter told Hello! magazine.

    “I grew up quite quickly and wouldn’t have considered having a child if I was doing what my friends are doing at this stage, messing around,” said Assisi. “I don’t drink, I don’t smoke and I’m very settled.”

    A homeopathic business owner, Alex Key, 25, is the father, according to The Daily Mail. The couple live in a converted barn in Cornwall, about 250 miles from London.

    Jagger has seven children with four women, and four grandchildren. Assisi is the daughter of Jade Jagger, 42, and onetime partner Piers Jackson.

    Assisi’s mom, Jade Jagger, is the daughter of Jagger‘s first wife, Bianca Jagger, and had Assisi at age 20. Ironically, Jade is also pregnant with husband Adrian Fillary and a mother-daughter baby shower was thrown for the pair in March.

    That joint baby shower was thrown right around the 50th anniversary of the Stones’ first album and was hosted by Mick’s former common-law wife, Jerry Hall.

    The coolest new great-grandfather in the world may not want to be called grandpa, however.

    “I imagine it’s nice to be a great-grandad – although I’m not sure he likes the idea of getting old, or being called one,” said Assisi. “I call him Mick – I wouldn’t start calling him Grandpa.”

    One would imagine this news is a bit of joy for the rock-‘n-roll legend, who suffered a great loss when his longtime love, L’Wren Scott, took her own life in March.

    “I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way,” Jagger wrote on Facebook. “We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves.”

    Congratulations to the entire, extended Jagger family.

  • Mick Jagger Welcomes First Great-Grandchild

    Mick Jagger has a lot to be proud about! The 70-year-old rock star is now a great-grandfather.

    According to the Daily Mail, Jagger’s grand-daughter Assisi Jackson welcomed a baby girl over the weekend. The new baby is the first for Jackson and her boyfriend, chef Alex Key. The new addition to the family also makes Jagger’s daughter Jade a first-time grandmother.

    However, the little girl isn’t the only addition the famous family has been expecting. Jade and her husband Adrian Fillary are also expecting a little boy next month. During a brief interview with Hello! magazine, Jackson shared her sentiments of becoming a mother at 21.

    “The women in our family just tend to have children young, it runs in the genes,” Jackson said. “I grew up quite quickly and wouldn’t have considered having a child if I was doing what my friends are doing at this stage, messing around,” she added. “I don’t drink, I don’t smoke and I’m very settled.”

    Jade also shared her opinion of her daughter embracing motherhood. “She’ll be a perfect mum,” said Jade. “Assisi is a level-headed, sweet girl and I think it will give them both a lot of pleasure. It gives you an amazing purpose in life, to fulfill nature’s destiny.”

    The joyous announcement comes just two months after the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s girlfriend, L’Wren Scott committed suicide. On March 18, the Rolling Stones front-man took to Facebook with a heartwarming message about his lost love.

    “I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way.We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves.”

    Hopefully the little bundles of joy will be a breath of fresh air in light of Jagger’s most recent loss.

  • Jade Jagger Says Mick Jagger Will Be A Great-Grandfather

    Mick Jagger will have a new title this coming year…great-grandpa!

    Jagger’s granddaughter, Assisi Jackson, will be giving birth to her first child sometime in 2014 (a due date has not been announced), and will be making the 70-year-old rocker a great-grandfather. The babies father is 25-year-old chef, Alex Key.

    Jackson is currently 20-years-old, but will be 21 when she gives birth. She says that it is not uncommon for the women in her family to have children at a young age.

    “The women in our family just tend to have children young, it runs in the genes,” said Assisi. “I grew up quite quickly and wouldn’t have considered having a child if I was doing what my friends are doing at this stage, messing around,” added Assisi. “I don’t drink, I don’t smoke and I’m very settled.”

    Jackson’s mom and Jagger’s daughter, Jade Jagger, is very happy and supportive of her daughter and says she knows that she will make a good mother.

    “She’ll be a perfect mum,” said Jade. “Assisi is a level-headed, sweet girl and I think it will give them both a lot of pleasure. It gives you an amazing purpose in life, to fulfill nature’s destiny.”

    Jade also says that her father has not really made a big deal about becoming a great-grandfather. He is already a father to seven children, and four grandchildren, so adding a great-grandchild will not be much of a transition.

    “I think making Mick a grandfather obviously had a big impact, whereas, now making him a great grandfather is no longer particularly fascinating,” said Jade.
