Mick Jagger, 82, considering another baby with girlfriend, 38, 'if fate allows'
The 82–year–old is currently engaged to former ballerina Melanie Hamrick, 38, and the pair have an eight-year-old son, Deveraux, known as Devi.
According to sources close to the couple, however, the pair may be thinking of adding another little one to their small family.
The Daily Mail reports that the pair have spoken about having another baby together 'if fate allows'.
They claim that the former rock lothario is a late convert to the joys of a monogamous relationship, thanks in part to his advancing age and Melanie's own charms.
'With people of Mick's age, the ability to go off and cheat is disappearing rapidly,' a source told The Mail. 'So all of these old rockers like Rod Stewart and Mick and Ronnie Wood are now settling down.'
Apparently, 'Melanie's secret' is that she's the 'smartest' of all his ex-girlfriends.
'Melanie's secret is that she bends like a ballerina to his every wish,' they explained. 'I would say that of all of his girlfriends, she has been the smartest of the lot. As the song goes, she gives him what he needs.'
The source added that Melanie 'likes being Mick's girlfriend' and doesn't make demands of him or pressure him to get married because it's not a priority for her.
What's more, the pair are 'very compatible' sharing a lot of interests – especially fitness – which makes them a great match.
Supposedly, another reason for Melanie's success is the way she's built bridges with The Rolling Stones' singer's exes.
Melanie recently attended Mick's birthday, where his former partner of 22 years, Jerry Hall, – and the mother of his four children – was in attendance, along with Luciana Morad, another ex.
One of Melanie's friends told the Mail that 'she gets on great with Jerry and with all of the exes' and she's also got to know Mick's kids, who all like her. More Trending
That said, the couple do apparently have one no-go area.
'One thing which she never does is talk about his age or about the age gap,' the Mail's source claimed. 'That does not exist as a topic.'
Metro has reached out to Mick and Melanie's reps for comment.

Netflix hit watched 250 million times returns — and 6 more shows to binge
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video After a two-year wait, Netflix's most-watched English-language show of all time is returning this month. Viewed an enormous 252.1 million times, Wednesday has been described as 'tons of fun' and 'captivating' by fans on Rotten Tomatoes, while critics heaped praise on Jenna Ortega's acting skills as the sardonic Wednesday Addams. The series comes second only to the first season of Squid Game in Netflix's global TV rankings, but the upcoming instalment could well steal the top spot. The show follows Wednesday Addams, who enrols at Nevermore Academy, a school for outcasts, after being expelled from her previous high school. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Season one saw the titular character adjust to her new life at Nevermore and grapple with psychic visions, all while investigating a string of supernatural murders. Now, Wednesday is returning to the Academy, but this time with her family in tow. Her brother, Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), arrives on campus, while mother Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has accepted a role at Nevermore. Meanwhile, the trailer revealed a 'jaw-dropping' twist that sees Wednesday trying to save her roommate Enid's (Emma Myers) life, and Lady Gaga will be joining the star-studded show with a cameo. Other new cast members include Joanna Lumley as Wednesday's grandmother, Steve Buscemi as Principal Dort and Billie Piper as the Academy's new head of music. The new season of Wednesday will premiere on Netflix in two parts, with part one landing on August 6 and part two on September 3 — but it's not the only hit series returning this month. From reality TV to comedy, thriller and romance, viewers across the genres are getting ready for their favourite shows to return. Fourteen famous faces will be taking on the SAS selection process in this gruelling reality TV show, joined by an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers. This year's line-up includes former footballers Adebayo Akinfenwa and Troy Deeney, dancer and reality star Louie Spence, Love Islanders Tasha Ghori, Chloe Burrows and Adam Collard and The Traitors winner Harry Clark to name a few. Simon Cowell will also be making an appearance on the show, but not as a recruit. Instead, he appears when calling former X Factor star Lucy Spraggan to help motivate her. Lucy has revealed that Simon, who walked her down the aisle during her wedding last year, was left fuming after the directing staff hung up on him. Where to watch: Celebrity SAS 2025 will premiere on Channel 4 on Sunday, August 3, with episodes airing every Sunday and Monday thereafter. Starring Seth Rogan and Rose Byrne, Apple TV Plus comedy Platonic follows a pair of former college best friends who get back in touch as they approach midlife. The pair fell out when stay-at-home mum Sylvia (Byrne) told the now recently divorced Will (Rogan) that she didn't think he should marry his fiancée. As they reconnect, their chaotic friendship begins to consume their lives. The show drew a lot of comparisons to 1989's When Harry Met Sally, but it isn't a rom-com. In fact, it subtly subverts the genre. Season one ended with a time jump, with Will engaged and Sylvia running her own event planning business. In season two, the pair once again grapple with making their co-dependent friendship work, now that Will is in a committed relationship. Where to watch: The first two episodes of Platonic Season 2 land on Apple TV Plus on August 6, followed by one episode weekly until October 1. Big budget reality TV show The Fortune Hotel has been likened to The Traitors for its cat-and-mouse premise. Hosted by Stephen Mangan, the show sees 10 pairs of players presented with 10 suitcases – eight are empty, one contains the £250,000 jackpot, and the other is the dreaded Early Checkout, which signifies that their time on the show is over. The contestants swap cases throughout the show, and must lie and deceive their way to getting hold of the £250,000 jackpot. The Fortune Hotel saw three pairings make it to a nail-biting final last May, and this month it's returning for round two. Metro columnist Adam Miller headed to The Gallivant Hotel in Rye last year to have a go at playing The Fortune Hotel for himself. 'My nerves were shot. After we'd swapped our case with a rival team (who we felt had become visibly more nervous after the cocktail challenge), we were pretty confident we were holding the prize money. 'But so did everyone else. The next team pinched our case from us immediately and we were stuck with theirs, which, to my horror, felt noticeably lighter than the case we'd been clinging onto all day. Surely that could only mean one thing – we had the check-out card. 'After being a faux reality TV contestant for a matter of hours, I have a newfound respect for anyone brave enough to play these games for real and not buckle.' Read more about Adam's experience playing The Fortune Hotel. Where to watch: The Fortune Hotel returns to ITV and ITVX on August 6. We've had eight seasons of unorthodox dating show Love is Blind already, and last year a new UK version took to screens for the first time, hosted by Emma and Matt Willis. This month, the experiment (which sees couples get engaged before meeting in person) is returning. Following the couples over several weeks, the show sees them move in together, plan their wedding, and find out if their physical connection is as strong as the emotional one they had already developed. Season one was full of the usual drama, with three couples saying 'I do' (one of which recently announced their pregnancy) and another three deciding to walk away. Where to watch: Episodes one to four of Love is Blind UK Season 2 land on Netflix on August 13, followed by episodes five to eight on August 20 and episodes nine to 10 on August 27. Following his cameo in the recent Superman movie, which has soared at the box office this summer, John Cena is back as Chris Smith, aka Peacemaker, a vigilante who fights for peace at any cost. Originally a spin-off of The Suicide Squad film, which was released in 2021 to rave reviews, Peacemaker Season 2 will follow the vigilante hero as he discovers a parallel world where he can live out the life of his dreams — but it means he must confront his traumatic past. The show has been a hit wth TV fans, earning an impressive 93% Rotten Tomatoes score and praised by critics for its wild action scenes, clever twists and humour. Meanwhile, audiences have called it 'compelling', a 'joyride' and 'pure comic-book mayhem'. Where to watch: Peacemaker Season 2 lands on Sky Max and NOW in the UK and HBO Max in the US on August 21, with episodes airing weekly until October 9. It's been an almost two-year wait for the second season of this teen romance drama, which has been compared to Prime Video hit The Summer I Turned Pretty and Netflix comedy Never Have I Ever. If you like love triangles and will-they-won't-they romance, this one's worth checking out. Season one saw 15-year-old Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez) move from New York to rural Colorado after losing her family in a tragic accident. More Trending There, she meets the two Walter brothers, Cole (Noah LaLonde) and Alex (Ashby Gentry) — and you can probably take a good guess at some of the teenage drama that ensues. After heading back to New York over the summer, season two sees Jackie return to Colorado with a big decision to make. My Life With the Walter Boys has a disappointing 42% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with reviewers criticising its 'generic storylines', but audiences were much more enthused, awarding it a 71% score and hailing the series as 'wholesome' and 'very bingeable'.

BBC drama series praised as 'absolute perfection' by fans arrives on Netflix this weekend
One of the most raved about series of the 2020s is making its way onto Netflix this weekend and fans cannot wait. One of the most praised and gripping series that took the world by storm a few years ago is making its long awaited debut on Netflix this weekend. Normal People, the BBC drama that has been hailed by fans as a "masterpiece," will officially be available to stream from Sunday, August 3. Originally released in 2020 on BBC iPlayer, the 12-part series quickly became a cultural phenomenon, drawing both widespread critical acclaim and a passionate fanbase. Now, Netflix audiences will finally have the chance to revisit, or discover for the first time, the emotional and deeply affecting story that captivates the world. Adapted from Sally Rooney's best-selling novel, Normal People follows the intense and evolving relationship between two Irish teenagers, Connell Waldron and Marianne Sheridan, as they navigate the complexities of love, class and identity from their school days in Sligo to their university years in Dublin. The series spans more than a decade, following the main characters from their teenage years into adulthood. At the start Connell is the well-liked, quietly intelligent student while Marianne is the wealthy but socially isolated girl whose home Connell's mum cleans. When their paths cross again at university, the dynamic between them has shifted. Marianne has grown into herself, while Connell struggles to find his place, but despite these changes, the deep connection they share continues. As their relationship weaves in and out of romantic and platonic territory, the series earned widespread praise for its raw and honest portrayal of themes such as male mental health, sexuality and the emotional complexities of "friends with benefits" relationships. The show was an instant hit, and boosted the careers of Paul Mescal who plays Connell and Daisy Edgar-Jones who plays Marianne. Mescal went on to star in Gladiator II, and is playing Paul McCartney in the upcoming Beatles biopics, while Daisy has since starred in Where the Crawdads Sing and Twisters. The duo's chemistry and acting skills earned the show raving reviews with fans calling it a "masterpiece." Following the show's initial success on BBC iPlayer, Normal People received raving reviews and an impressive 91% Rotten Tomatoes score. Writing on Rotten Tomatoes, one fan of the series described Normal People as "deeply moving" expressing that the series "stayed with them long after watching." As another fan stated: "Real, raw and vulnerable. This highly emotional show had me hooked from the beginning." While other viewers added that the show is an "Irish masterpiece," and "absolute perfection." Another viewer praised the actors performance, writing: "Beautifully filmed with a great music score and pulled together by two extraordinary performances by Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones. You felt every moment with the characters and at the end you just want to go back and watch it all over again." Viewers will be able to watch Normal People on iPlayer from Sunday, August 3, on Netflix.

Strictly star Wynne Evans confirms split from fiancée only weeks after proposal
Former Strictly Come Dancing star Wynne Evans has confirmed that he has split from fiancée Liz Brookes – only weeks after popping the question. The Welsh opera singer, 53, began dating events manager Liz, 50, last year, and proposed while on holiday in Morocco this June. Sharing a snap of himself popping the question to a stunned-looking Liz, Wynne announced via Instagram: 'Big news… I got engaged! 💍' Fast-forward a few weeks, and he and Liz have now apparently broken up. Taking to Facebook Live on Saturday morning, he described himself as more 'level-headed' than he'd been in years after 'having been in a bad place or a relationship that's not healthy for me.' Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. 'It's now calm,' he said, seemingly confirming the end of the relationship. Wynne's split from Liz was confirmed by a source for The Daily Mail, who said: 'Wynne and Liz broke off their engagement a few weeks ago.' The publication's source credits the 'pressure' of the new restaurant he has decided to open in his hometown of Carmarthen. He will also be starting his own radio show, set inside the restaurant. The Mail's source continued: 'The pressure of his new business ventures took its toll and they had a big fallout. Initially, there was a belief they would get back together when the ill-feeling died down, as they had split before and managed to patch things up. 'But with Wynne actively trying to date again and going public describing the relationship as 'not healthy', it's safe to say they've split for good this time.' Wynne and Liz first met when he performed at a corporate function for the firm where she worked. She was an audience regular at Strictly, where she watched him perform and cheered him on. They began dating after his divorce from his wife of 17 years, Tanwen Evans, with whom he shared daughter Ismay and son Taliesin. Liz stuck by the Go Compare frontman throughout the scandal which followed his Strictly appearance and live show controversy. They were initially reported to have split after he was caught joking about a 'spit roast' or 'threesome' with Strictly Live presenter and professional dancer Janette Manrana, 41. A source told The Sun that Liz had been 'humiliated by what happened when he was on Strictly'. This insider continued: 'She always knew he was a bit old school, and actually liked the fact he seemed rough round the edges. She just assumed it was all part of his charm.' They added: 'It's not clear exactly when they split, but friends say that when his latest lewd gaffe was revealed at the Strictly Live Tour launch she was relieved they were no longer together.' However, another source later told The Mirror that Liz was 'rallying around' Wynne, leaving him 'appreciative of all the love and support he is getting.' He apologised soon after being dumped from the Strictly Live tour, describing himself as 'deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate action caused.' During an appearance on ITV's This Morning, he described himself at his 'lowest ebb' over the scandal – which also included accusations of 'inappropriately touching' professional dance partner Katya Jones. Wynne and Katya addressed the furore as a 'silly joke' gone wrong, but Wynne was beset with more controversy, first after the 'spit roast' incident, and then again after mucking around with a sex toy in a video with EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick. 'I wanted to end my life. I would have if I hadn't been surrounded by people,' he said to hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard. 'I remember saying to my girlfriend, 'I have to kill myself. I have to because this is what they want.' 'You're full of these thoughts the entire time and it takes over your life.' In June, Wynne proposed to Liz while on holiday in Morocco. Announcing the news, he shared: 'This weekend in Morocco, somewhere between the couscous, the camels, and me limping around the souks like a man with no spatial awareness, I proposed to Liz — and she said yes! (No take-backs, I've checked.) 'She's clever, she's kind, she's got excellent taste in men. Absolutely no idea how I pulled that off, but here we are! Feeling very lucky, very happy, and just a tiny bit smug.' The post also included a photo of their hands holding glasses of champagne, with Liz wielding her engagement ring. A source told The Sun: 'It has been a tumultuous six months for Wynne, but Liz has been his absolute rock throughout. More Trending 'Finally, some wonderful news for Wynne and his inner circle to celibate and everyone is chuffed for them both. 'He secretly bought an engagement ring and squirrelled it away for their holiday and then popped the question over champagne.' They added: 'Liz has been incredible over the past few months, supporting him through thick and thin, and had his back throughout, but obviously Wynne is telling everyone she's a lucky girl!' has reached out to Wynne Evans' representative for comment.
