Keith Richards Welcomes Great-Granddaughter Luna: A New Chapter for the Rock Legend's Family
Keith Richards, the iconic guitarist of the Rolling Stones, has recently become a great-grandfather for the first time as his granddaughter Ella Richards shared the birth of her daughter, Luna, on Instagram. Ella, who celebrated her 30th birthday, posted a heartwarming photo of herself with Luna, marking a special moment for the legendary rock family.
Luna is Ella's first child with her partner Sascha von Bismarck, a photographer and member of an aristocratic family. The couple received an outpouring of congratulations from friends and well-wishers, including Princess Olympia of Greece and socialite Daphne Guinness. Ella's older sister, model Alexandra Richards, also joined in the celebration of Ella's milestone birthday.
Ella is the daughter of Marlon Richards and Lucie de la Falaise, with Marlon being Keith Richards' eldest son from his relationship with Anita Pallenberg. Keith, who is a father of five and grandfather of eight, expressed his excitement about becoming a great-grandfather when Ella announced her pregnancy earlier this year.
Sascha von Bismarck, Ella's partner, hails from a prominent European aristocratic lineage, with ties to the von Bismarck family. The couple confirmed their relationship in 2023, and Ella has spoken fondly of Sascha's photography skills and their creative collaboration.
Ella's upbringing was described as bohemian and unconventional, with a family known for their artistic and free-spirited nature. She made a splash in the fashion world at a young age, walking in New York Fashion Week and starring in Burberry campaigns alongside industry icons like Kate Moss. Ella's godmother, Kate Moss, has been a guiding figure in her career, offering support and advice.
With the arrival of Luna, Keith Richards joins his Rolling Stones bandmate Mick Jagger as a great-grandfather. The Stones are gearing up for the release of their upcoming album, "Foreign Tongues," featuring collaborations with music legends like Sir Paul McCartney and paying tribute to their late drummer, Charlie Watts. The family news adds to the excitement surrounding the band's upcoming projects, highlighting a new chapter for the rock legends.
