Mick Jagger is celebrating his son Deveraux’s seventh birthday in some very rare family photos. The rocker’s girlfriend, Melanie Hamrick, shared a collage of the couple in honor of their toddler’s big day on Friday.
“December eighth !!!!!!! Glad Birthday sweet, energetic, silly, smart, wild and beautiful Devi! I can’t imagine you’re 7 !!!” the 36-year-old gushed via Instagram.
“We love you greater than anything! ❤️You truly are my sunshine ☀️,” she added.
Within the photos, the Rolling Stones frontman, 80, looks relaxed and completely happy. In a single snapshot, the trio are sitting with an exquisite country background because the sun sets. One other pic appears to be a throwback and shows the proud parents holding up Deveraux as he touches his famous dad’s chin.
In October, the musician opened up about parenting his youngest son.
“You get a bit out of shape — it’s not like riding a motorbike,” he told the Guardian. “The more children you’ve got, the more laissez faire you get about them, to be honest.”
“And it is determined by the kid,” the daddy of eight continued. “They’ve their very own personalities and you’ll be able to mold them to a certain extent, but you see their likes and dislikes and encourage them do things they gravitate towards. It’s fun to have children, at any age. But when you’re working, and at all times away, you don’t get to enjoy it as much.”
When Deveraux was born, Jagger wasn’t “working a lot.”
“I used to be in a position to spend more time. After which we had the lockdown — he’s only 6, and two of those years I did almost nothing [with the band],” he explained.
The Stones have since released one other album, “Hackney Diamonds,” and might be hitting the road over again. From April through July next 12 months, the 1989 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees will play stadiums and festivals throughout North America to advertise their latest music.
Jagger has 4 children with Jerry Hall, his partner from 1990 to 1997: daughters Elizabeth, 39, and Georgia May, 31, and sons James, 38, and Gabriel, 25.
His eldest child is daughter Karis, 53, whose mother is the performer Marsha Hunt. With Bianca Jagger, the one woman he ever married, Mick has daughter Jade, 52.
He and model Luciana Gimenez welcomed son Lucas in 1999, and Deveraux arrived in 2016.
In September, Jagger raised eyebrows when he hinted that he won’t be leaving his $500 million fortune to his many kids.
“The kids don’t need $500 million to live well. Come on,” he told the Wall Street Journal. “You perhaps do some good on this planet.”
