Keith Richards, the iconic Rolling Stones guitarist, has hit a new milestone. At 82, the father of five and grandfather of seven shared unexpected baby news. No, he’s not going to be a dad again; this news is even bigger. Keith Richards’ granddaughter, 29-year-old model Ella Richards, is expecting her first baby with boyfriend Sascha von Bismarck. That means Keith will be a great-grandfather. That’s a title that not many people achieve in their lifetime, so it’s particularly exciting for Mr. Richards.
