Mandrake can disclose that the Rolling Stones singer has become increasingly close to Molly Miller Mundy, the aristocratic 23-year-old daughter of one of his old friends.
"I'm thrilled it's not Paul McCartney," says her father, Mark Miller Mundy, who is apparently not a Beatles fan.
Mark, a record producer who has worked with Sir Mick's former girlfriend Marianne Faithfull, declines to comment further on the friendship, which I understand has been developing over some months.
Sir Mick's three-year relationship with L'Wren Scott, a 6ft 4in American former model, is believed to have become a little awkward since she told him that she wanted to bear his eighth child.
One of his close associates told me last year that L'Wren, who is a mere 23 years his junior, was adamant that Sir Mick should marry her first.
Molly, who bears a striking resemblance to Sophie Dahl, with whom Sir Mick had an affair when she was a voluptuous 24-year-old model, works for Nicky Haslam, the interior designer.
She reportedly worked on a property in the same street in Chelsea where Sir Mick owns a house.
"She's great fun, personable and chatty," says a friend of Molly, who is one of Prince Harry's Gloucestershire set.
"She's popular with the opposite sex and particularly with older men because she's very confident."
Ronnie Wood, 61, the Stones guitarist, recently had an affair with Ekaterina Ivanova, a 19-year-old Russian art student.
A close friend of Sir Mick said last night that he knew Molly through his friendship with Haslam.
The part about Molly's Dad being glad it ain't Macca made me crack up!!!!!!
Looks like the giraffe has been Nolte'd...
