Jagger's A Daddy, Again

Blood tests confirm that Mick Jagger is the father of Brazilian model Luciana Morad's son, the spokesman for the Rolling Stones' lead singer said Tuesday.

"I'm happy to confirm that the blood test was positive," said Jagger's spokesman, Bernard Doherty.

"But the tape stops here. Sorry I can't embellish, but it's a 'legal matter, baby,' as The Who once said," Doherty added.

Jagger, who earlier this month paid Jerry Hall a reported $16 million to end their marriage, acknowledged having an affair with Morad but had previously refused to say whether he was the father of the boy born in mid-May.

The test paves the way for Morad, 29, to seek a settlement from the 56-year-old rocker for their son, now three months old.

"We are expecting Mick to get hit hard in the wallet at any moment. That seems inevitable," The Daily Mail quoted a friend of Jagger's as saying.

She named the baby Lucas Morad Jagger. But Jagger had refused to acknowledge paternity publicly.

With Lucas, Jagger is now the father of a second child who is younger than his two grandchildren from Jade, his daughter with Bianca.

British newspapers said Jagger's lawyers told him of the DNA match Monday while he was celebrating his 56th birthday at his chateau in France.

Texas-born model Jerry Hall, Jagger's partner for 22 years, split with him over Morad's pregnancy.

Hall, 43, and Jagger announced this month that they were seeking to have their 1991 marriage on the Indonesia island of Bali annulled and had reached a financial settlement.

Hall and their four children, Elizabeth, 15, James, 13, Georgia May, 7, and Gabriel, 1, were also in France, the reports said.

Lucas is Jagger's seventh child. He also has Karis, 28, by singer Marsha Hunt, and Jade, 26, with his ex-wife Bianca.

News reports said Morad had the blood tests done in New York two weeks ago, and samples were sent to a London clinic.

Details of Jagger's settlement with Hall have not been announced.

British newspapers carried estimates ranging from $15 million to $50 million, after Hall yielded to Jagger's insistence that they were never legally married. His lawyers said the civil part of the ceremony in Bali was not completed.
