Looking at this photo, you’d be hard-pressed to realize that the Jagger family is hardly slaves to marriage conventions.
It shows Texas supermodel Jerry Hall, who shared the photo online, cradling her newest grandchild in her right arm, while Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick – father of Jerry’s four children – looks over her, his right hand lovingly on her shoulder while he tenderly holds her left hand in his.
The swooning grandparents in the photo are joined by 31-year-old Georgia – the younger of Mick and Jerry’s two daughters – and James, their eldest son, father of the new addition to the family.
James, married to Anoushka Sharma, was born in 1985, two years before Sir Mick’s current girlfriend Melanie Hamrick, with whom he celebrated the birth of his eighth child, a son, Deveraux, seven years ago.

Jerry had ended their relationship after discovering his affair with Brazilian model Luciana Gimenez, who had given birth to Mick’s seventh child, a son, Lucas, earlier that year.
His union with Jerry – cemented, she thought, by a ceremony in Bali – was annulled by the Supreme Court in 1999, when Jerry ended their relationship after discovering his affair with Brazilian model Luciana Gimenez. I had Mick’s seventh child, a son, Lucas, earlier that year. But that’s all blood under the bridge – perhaps especially since the end of Jerry’s second marriage to media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
Surprise! Damien Hirst becomes a father again at the age of 58
He has brined a shark in a tank, dismembered cows and sold a diamond-encrusted platinum skull for $100 million. But now Damien Hirst has pulled off his biggest surprise.
I can tell you that Britain’s richest artist will become a father again at the age of 58. His girlfriend Sophie Cannell, who is 29 years younger than him, is expecting her first child.
“Sophie is looking forward to becoming a mother,” a source said. ‘She kept her bump hidden for most of her pregnancy, but now she’s happy to share the news.’
The former ballerina showed off her baby bump in a photo she posted online, in which she wears a bikini while sitting at the edge of a pool. “He’s a water boy,” she says.
If her child is indeed a boy, he will be Hirst’s fourth son. He is father to Connor, 28, Cassius, 23, and Cyrus, 17, with fashion designer Maia Norman. They split in 2012 after twenty years together.

He then hooked up with model Roxie Nafousi, 33, before enjoying a three-year romance with another model, Katie Keight, 31, which ended in 2017.
The art world’s former enfant terrible has been dating Cannell for five years and they live in his £36 million, 14-bedroom home in Regent’s Park, London, which even has its own stripper pole. They share the property with their beloved three French bulldogs, Pablo, Chapo and Blanco, and their new chihuahua.
Hirst has an estimated fortune of £300m and his sons are directors of his art production company Science (UK), which is worth £20.3m and had a turnover of £5.6m at last accounts.
The artist has yet to propose to Cannell, but he has showered her with gifts, including a £166,600 18-carat gold Rolex Pearlmaster watch studded with 713 gemstones.
Last year he immortalized his love for her when he created a sculpture based on her body as one of his four works for the new Mayfair restaurant Bacchanalia, inspired by Greek mythology.
Ben Miller, now a successful children’s author, actor and comedian, has revealed why he likes writing for a younger market: his books aren’t overly scrutinized by adults. “Kids don’t read reviews,” says Miller, who played DI Richard Poole in the hit BBC drama Death in Paradise. ‘From that perspective it is a brilliant world. You go to the schools – it’s such a fantastic antidote to all the adult cynicism, when you see how much children like the books.’
Jilly cock-a-hoop at Harry bonkbuster
Prince Harry’s story about losing his virginity in a field at the age of 16 to an older woman who he claimed treated him like a ‘young stallion’ amused Bonkbuster author Jilly Cooper.
Prince Harry said he lost his virginity in a field at age 16 to an older woman who he said treated him like a ‘young stallion’
Speaking at the launch party of her book, Tackle!, at Hatchards in Piccadilly, London, she tells me “it’s great to know” that she apparently had an influence on the California-based royal family.
Referring to the Duke of Sussex’s experience in the Gloucestershire field, Cooper said: ‘I just hope Harry enjoyed it.’
He made his name as a Formula 1 star, but David Coulthard has traded pit stops for pints. The Scot, 52, is one of the new landlords of The Brown Dog, a pub in Barnes, south-west London. “I love pubs,” he tells me.

‘I appreciate the service and the quality. They have to be warm and have familiar faces.’ He was joined at the launch party by famous faces including Gary Lineker and Sky Sports presenter Natalie Pinkham. However, punters shouldn’t expect Coulthard to be behind the bar. ‘I’m not going to pour a pint, I think I should leave that to the professionals.’
Guinness backs Haslam to express disdain over ‘boredoms’
Queen Camilla’s long-time friend Nicky Haslam has upset some admirers of the Prince and Princess of Wales by telling me they ‘couldn’t be less sophisticated’ and calling their dress sense ‘ordinary’.
Yet fashion icon Daphne Guinness is tickled by his annual “Common List,” his playfully snobbish compilation of things that got him in trouble over the past year.

“This made me laugh so much,” says Guinness. ‘He (Haslam) knew my Aunt Nancy (Mitford, the novelist), my whole family. You must always maintain a sense of humor. The seriousness of the current times is so annoying.’
Treading the boards alongside Sir Rex Harrison seems to have been a memorable experience for Martin Clunes.
The Doc Martin actor remembers the My Fair Lady star, who died in 1990 aged 82: ‘I was in the last play Rex Harrison did in England.
‘He was a difficult man. He was also very old. It was The Admirable Crichton, an endless play by JM Barrie. Really stupid. Rex was always in the dark. This was in The Haymarket in London.
He would say, ‘JM Barrie…I’d like to rip his balls off!’, which, since he rarely pronounced JM Barrie’s words correctly, seemed a bit unfair.”
