Welcome to the New Generation

The legendary Rolling Stones guitarist, Keith Richards, is hitting a new milestone at 82 – becoming a great-grandfather! His granddaughter, model Ella Richards, just had her first child, a daughter named Luna, adding another layer to the storied Richards family. Ella, who recently celebrated her 30th birthday, shared the heartwarming news with a snapshot of her and Luna, captioning it as the "best birthday yet." This joyful addition makes Keith not just a dad of five and a granddad of eight but now also a proud great-granddad.

Family Ties and Famous Friends

Ella embraced motherhood with her longtime beau, photographer Sascha von Bismarck. The couple has been the talk of the town, especially with Sascha's ties to the aristocracy and fashion icon circles, including his brother's connection to the iconic Kate Moss. Speaking of fashion, Ella's circle buzzed with celebrity well-wishers. Socialite Daphne Guinness sent sweet birthday wishes, while fashion influencer Camille Charrière and Lady Kitty Spencer chimed in with their congratulations.

“Happy Birthday so so sweet,” wrote fashion muse Daphne Guinness, reflecting the joy surrounding the Richards family’s latest addition.

Richards Legacy Lives On

Now a great-grandfather, Keith's family tree is as vibrant as his music career. His daughter Angela, also known as Dandelion, and son Marlon, continue the family legacy with their own children. Keith's journey through the rock and roll world, alongside his wife Patti Hansen, has been as storied as his family life. With two more daughters from this union, Theodora and Alexandra, the Richards clan is a testament to endurance, both on and off the stage.

In the grand tradition of the Stones, Keith's bandmate and co-rocker Mick Jagger also embraced the title of great-granddad back in 2014. The Richards-Jagger legacy remains unshakable, proving that even in the whirlwind of rock stardom, family remains at the core.
