According to an Instagram account under the name of Elizabeth Jagger, one of the Rolling Stones rocker’s previous children, Sir Mick Jagger, has chosen a rather dramatic name for his latest addition, who was born on December 8.

Although it is not verified, Lizzy’s Instagram account is followed by more than 50,000 people.

Introducing Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger! Proud sister Elizabeth Jagger uploaded the precious photo to Instagram.

It is believed Sir Mick chose the name for sentimental reasons.

Though widely referred to as ‘Joe,’ Basil was the name of Sir Mick’s late father who passed away in 2006.

As for the rest of the new tot’s name – Deveraux stems from the French word for ‘riverbank,’ while Octavian means ‘born eighth’ in Latin.

Sir Mick became a father again at the age of 73 with his partner Melanie Hamrick, 29, making her 44 years his junior.

Baby Deveraux is Melanie’s first child.

Melanie, 29, has been dating Sir Mick since 2014. The couple were reportedly “surprised and happy” after finding out that they were expecting.

According to The Mirror, Sir Mick flew some 3,500 miles from London to New York to be by the side of his ballerina girlfriend as she gave birth to baby Deveraux.

He told friends: “I need to be there for her.”

A source added: “He made sure he was there. He wouldn’t have missed it for the world.”

Nothing phases him! At 70-years-young Sir Mich became a great-grandfather.
