Jagger, the 72-year-old frontman of the Rolling Stones, already has seven children — Georgia, James, Jade, Elizabeth, Lucas, Karis and Gabriel — who range in age from 45 to 17.

He is also a grandfather and great-grandfather.

W magazine, which reports on fashion and celebrities, says Hamrick is a ballerina who has performed with the American Ballet Theatre in New York. 

The pair reportedly met in 2014, the same year Jagger's former girlfriend, model-turned-fashion designer L'Wren Scott, took her own life.

In May, fellow Rolling Stone Ron Wood became a father again at 68 after his wife, Sally Humphreys, gave birth to twin girls.
