Mick Jagger is a great-grandfather


Sir Mick Jagger has become a great-grandfather for the first time.
The 70-year-old Rolling Stones rocker’s granddaughter Assisi Jackson and her boyfriend Alex Key welcomed a daughter into the world over the weekend, HELLO! reports.
The new arrival – whose name has not yet been announced – is the first grandchild for Assisi’s mother Jade, 42, who is due to give birth to a baby boy next month.
Assisi, 21, previously admitted her grandfather was delighted she was expecting a baby.
She said: "He said, ‘Well done,’ and I said, ‘I didn’t have to try too hard.’ "
However, she admitted the ‘Paint it Black’ star – who was left devastated in March by the suicide of his long-term girlfriend L’Wren Scott – was unlikely to be calling himself great-grandad.
She said: "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.
"I call him Mick – I wouldn’t start calling him Grandpa."
Despite her young age, Assisi insisted the time was right for her to have a baby.
She 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.
"I don’t drink, I don’t smoke and I’m very settled."
