Rock Royalty Grows: Keith Richards Celebrates Seventh Grandchild!
In a delightful twist to his storied life, Keith Richards, the legendary guitarist of The Rolling Stones, has added another branch to his family tree. His daughter, Alexandra Richards, recently announced the arrival of her fourth child, a son named Elvis Nova Naudé, born on February 17, 2025. Sharing the joy on Instagram, Alexandra posted a series of charming black-and-white images capturing tender moments with her newborn, alongside her husband, Jacques Naudé. The couple’s growing family now includes their three-year-old daughter, Arlowe Mae, and Elvis, adding a fresh layer of joy to the Richards family dynasty.
Richards, now 81, has gracefully navigated the complexities of family life while maintaining a low profile, particularly when it comes to his children. Alexandra, who follows in her father’s footsteps but prefers to keep her life somewhat private, has previously expressed her cautious approach to social media, sharing only meaningful moments. In an interview with the New York Post, she remarked, “It’s a scary world, too, so it’s also fear that makes me not want to overly post.” This sentiment echoes the sentiments of many public figures who grapple with the balance between sharing and safeguarding their personal lives.
The Rolling Stones icon has five children, reflecting a rich tapestry of family history that includes his late son, Tara, who tragically passed away during infancy. His first three children—Marlon, Angela, and Tara—were from his relationship with model Anita Pallenberg, while his youngest daughters, Theodora and Alexandra, were born to his wife, model Patti Hansen. The family dynamic is anything but conventional, with Richards describing himself as “blessed” to have a large, loving family where everyone gets along, despite the complexities of blended families.
Moreover, the arrival of baby Elvis comes at a time when multi-generational families are becoming increasingly common. According to a 2022 report from the Pew Research Center, about 20% of children in the U.S. live in multi-generational households, a trend that reflects changing societal norms surrounding family structures. As Keith Richards continues to rock stages worldwide, he also rocks the role of a proud grandfather, now officially a grandparent of seven. With each new addition to his family, he builds a legacy that transcends music, echoing the profound connection between love, family, and creativity.
