He might be a music legend to the world, but to his eight children, Mick Jagger is simply ‘dad’. The rocker recently vacationed in Italy – and his 27-year-old son Lucas had the most relatable reaction of a child disapproving of their parent’s fashion.
Lucas, who is Mick’s only child with Brazilian model Luciana Gimenez Morad, took a jab at the rock and roll star’s wardrobe after he wore a black baker boy cap in several photos while exploring the Italian countryside. “The hat on slide 8 needs to be removed from ur wardrobe,” Lucas commented on his dad’s Instagram post on 6 June.
In the photo in question, Mick paired the cap with black trousers and a leather bomber jacket over a jumper while posing in front of a mountainous landscape. While Lucas was not a fan, others were quick to defend the rocker’s fashion choice. “This sounds like my son,” one person replied to Lucas, while another remarked: “Our kids never appreciate their parents’ boomer style.”
Italian getaway
The Rolling Stones front man spent a “working break” in Italy, where he explored the coastal scenery and appeared to show off his Italian while filming a video of him approaching a helicopter perched on a mountain and ready for take off. “Ecco tutti,” the rocker said, which translates to “here they all are” in English.
In another clip, the musician got behind the steering wheel of a car and expertly drove down a very narrow side street. “My dad posting a photo dump,” Lucas quipped in the comments section.
Mick’s 8 children
Lucas is one of Mick’s eight children from five relationships across his life. The musician welcomed his eldest daughter Karis, 55, with actress Marsha Hunt in 1970. He then went on to have daughter Jade, 54, with his ex-wife, Bianca Jagger.
Mick also shares four children with his ex-partner Jerry Hall: daughter Elizabeth, 42 and Georgia May, 34, and sons James, 40, and Gabriel, 28. In 2016, he welcomed his eighth child, Deveraux, with his current partner Melanie Hamrick.
Mick’s second eldest daughter Jade opened up to HELLO! about her unconventional childhood as the daughter of a rock and roll star, recalling she spent a lot of time travelling. “‘It wasn’t a conventional childhood, but to me it felt normal because it was all I knew,” she said. “I spent so much of my time travelling and even now I feel that deep down. Sometimes I describe myself as a bit of a gypsy.”

Jade admitted that while the Jagger surname had been a “challenge” at times for her, it’s different for the younger generation in the family. “Interestingly, the younger generation doesn’t really associate the name with family history or legacy anymore; for them, it’s more about things like the song ‘Moves Like Jagger’. That’s actually lightened the pressure quite a bit compared with how it used to feel,” she said.
“Everyone handles this kind of legacy differently, but I’ve found that self‐acceptance is the key to handling it in a healthy way.”
