The Rocket Store is well-known in the area for sourcing ingredients from local suppliers.
In an interview with Hello! magazine, Assisi discussed becoming a young mother in 2014.
“The women in our family just tend to have children young, it runs in the genes… I grew up quite quickly and wouldn’t have considered having a child if I was doing what my friends are doing at this stage, messing around,” she said.
Jagger has eight children from different relationships, five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Assisi recalled her grandfather Mick’s reaction to her being pregnant to Hello!: “He said, ‘Well done,’ and I said, ‘I didn’t have to try too hard.’”
