Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Main claim

Mick's chick. Luciana Morad is famous for one reason. Yes, our feisty heroine is mother to Mick Jagger's lurve child. Inevitably dubbed a "Brazilian bombshell", La Morad is hardly given to the wallfloweresque hiding of her condition under maternity shifts. Indeed, with her tendency to bare her bump and much else at carnival, while displaying a hands-on attitude towards the press, she has barely been out of the news since the story broke last year. Now Luciana has proved she is indeed mother to the rock dinosaur in question's seventh child with a set of positive Jagger DNA tests. She is said to be claiming a mere pounds 5m for childcare, plus negotiating the biggest offer for first pictures. Oh dear oh dear. Makes Posh and Becks look like amateurs.

Appearance

Plump-cheeked Corr. Bianca Jagger meets Brookside's Lindsey Corkhill. Catherine Zeta Jones's samba-dancing second cousin.

Missing link

The genetic fusion between one wrinkly rocker and an obscure South American model has made history and 1,000 photo opportunities. Emma Noble could hardly have milked, er, handled, it better. Morad, 29, attended a Stones gig in Rio and met up backstage with the rubber-lipped one, 56. A fling ensued. And so did a divorce.

Mother love

Luciana hails from Rio de Janeiro, used to date someone called Dr Matthew Tracey who comments, "I wish her nothing but the best", and is now mother to a dark-haired baby named Lucas Morad Jagger. She has recently moved to New York. The father of seven received news of the latest product of his loins on his 56th birthday while resting in his French chateau.

Sins of the father

This is a wearily familiar tale, readers. Almost 30 years ago, Jagger was also a little careless with his chromosomes, and found he had a daughter called Karis. Six more Jaggerlets by three more mothers followed.

Fame prospects

With a fine Jagger kisser, a few million in the bank, and a framed DNA certificate in the loo, mum-and-son team could go even further. Luciana should employ Max Clifford, cover an old Stones hit, and befriend Carla Bruni. Hello, Hello!
