Rock legend Sir Mick Jagger has spent more than six decades commanding stages worldwide, but this week, the Rolling Stones frontman set aside the spotlight for a far more intimate celebration, his youngest son’s 8th birthday.
Jagger, 81, and his partner, American ballerina Melanie Hamrick, marked the milestone for their son, Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger, with a private family gathering that blended warmth, music, and laughter. Known to fans as “Devi,” the youngster is Jagger’s eighth child, born in December 2016, and has quickly become a cherished presence in the rocker’s later years.
While Jagger is often busy touring with the Stones who recently announced new projects and future live plans, friends close to the family revealed that he made it a priority to carve out time for his son’s special day. “No matter how busy he gets, Mick makes sure to be there for the kids,” said one source. “Devi brings him so much joy, it’s like he’s rediscovered fatherhood in a new way.”
The birthday was celebrated with a close-knit circle of family and friends, avoiding the flash of paparazzi and public headlines. Photos shared by Hamrick on social media showed a beaming Deveraux surrounded by balloons and a custom cake, while Jagger himself appeared relaxed and playful, far removed from the stadium spotlight.
For Jagger, who became a father for the first time in 1970, fatherhood has stretched across multiple generations. His eldest daughter, Karis, is now in her 50s, while Deveraux, the youngest, is still in primary school. The age gap has often been a subject of public fascination, but insiders insist Jagger embraces each role with equal dedication.
As the Stones continue to write new chapters in rock history, moments like this serve as a reminder that beyond the roaring crowds and timeless hits, Mick Jagger remains a family man at heart. For Deveraux, turning eight wasn’t just about cake and gifts, it was about being celebrated by a father who, even after a lifetime in music, still knows the value of being present at home.
