Keith Richards has become a great-grandfather for the first time after his granddaughter Ella Richards announced the birth of her first child.
Ella, who turned 30 at the weekend, revealed the happy news on Instagram, sharing a sweet photo of herself lying beside her newborn daughter, Luna, on a blanket.
"30! Best birthday yet with our baby girl Luna," she captioned the image.
The baby makes the Rolling Stones guitar legend a great-grandfather.
Luna is Ella's first child with her long-term boyfriend, Sascha von Bismarck.
Burberry campaign star Ella confirmed her pregnancy back in March with a black-and-white photograph showing her growing baby bump.
Her latest post confirming the birth, was flooded with congratulations from her famous friends.
Princess Olympia of Greece wrote, "The most beautiful."
Socialite Daphne Guinness chimed in, "Happy Birthday! So so sweet."
Ella is the daughter of Marlon Richards, Keith's eldest son from his long relationship with the late model and actor Anita Pallenberg, who died in 2017 aged 75.
Her mother is former model and stylist Lucie de la Falaise.
Keith, who is a father of five and grandfather of eight, had been counting down to the birth ever since his granddaughter shared her pregnancy news in the spring.
Reacting to her announcement on social media, the rocker commented, "Sending love and looking forward to welcoming my first great grandchild!"
