Keith Richards Welcomes First Great-Grandchild!

Legendary Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, aged 82, has embraced a new family role as a great-grandfather. This significant milestone follows the birth of his great-granddaughter, Luna, welcomed by his granddaughter Ella Richards. Ella, a model and the daughter of Marlon Richards, celebrated her 30th birthday by sharing the news of Luna's arrival with boyfriend Sascha von Bismarck, a photographer from a notable European aristocratic family. The announcement was met with warm wishes from friends and family, including notable figures from society and fashion circles.

Baby Luna's birth signifies a new generation for the renowned Richards family. Ella had previously announced her pregnancy in March, sharing a striking image of her baby bump, which elicited an emotional response from her famous grandfather. Richards had expressed his excitement then, stating he was "looking forward to welcoming my first great grandchild!" The news also comes as The Rolling Stones prepare to release their 25th studio album, "Foreign Tongues," in July, a period of new beginnings for the band and its iconic members.

Ella, who has occasionally shared insights into her family's unconventional dynamics, described her grandfather as "very quiet and sweet and loving," a stark contrast to his public image. She noted the "crazy creatives" and free-spirited nature of her family. Ella's career has also seen significant success, including a Burberry campaign and joining the Kate Moss Agency, guided by her godmother, Kate Moss. Richards is now the second member of The Rolling Stones to become a great-grandfather, following Sir Mick Jagger who achieved this status in 2014.
