Keith Richards Becomes a Grandfather for the 9th Time
Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, 82, has become a grandfather again after his daughter Theodora, 41, revealed on social media that she secretly gave birth to a baby boy named Tarka Nathaniel Richards Burnett. Theodora announced that Tarka was born on April 9, 2026, choosing to reveal the birth publicly only when he was almost five months old.
Theodora is Keith Richards’ daughter with his wife Patti Hansen and works as a model. The baby’s father is her partner, Oscar Burnett.
- Tarka Nathaniel Richards Burnett was born April 9, 2026, and the birth was kept private for almost five months.
- Theodora and Oscar Burnett already have an older son, Augustus, born in May 2024.
- Keith Richards became a great-grandfather for the first time in May 2026 when his granddaughter Ella, 30, welcomed a daughter named Luna.
What Theodora Richards Said About the Birth
In her social media post announcing Tarka’s arrival, Theodora wrote that he has been “rocking our lives now for almost 5 months.” She added that she and Oscar “could not be happier that this family keeps growing and loving as hard as we do.”
Friends and Family React to the News
Leah Wood, daughter of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, congratulated the family on the arrival, calling it “the next chapter to a very cool legacy.” Model Poppy Delevingne, 40, who welcomed her own daughter last year, also left a congratulatory comment on Theodora’s post.
How Many Grandchildren Does Keith Richards Have?
Coverage of the announcement gives conflicting counts of Keith Richards’ grandchildren: one headline states this marks his eighth grandchild, while the accompanying article text describes it as his ninth. Either way, Tarka’s arrival adds to a family that also grew in May 2026, when Richards became a great-grandfather for the first time through his granddaughter Ella.
