The partner of Mick Jagger’s granddaughter has been missing for days in the U.K., prompting the famous family to ask for the public’s help.

In their initial statement, police said they were “growing increasingly concerned for the welfare” of Key.
The Devon and Cornwall Police and representatives for the Rolling Stones did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.
In a plea for help, Jackson’s mom, Jade Jagger, posted information about Key’s disappearance on Instagram on Monday, Jan. 26. In response, some followers asked for more details to help in the search, while others offered their support.
Another person wrote, “Thinking of Assisi, Alexander and their daughters. I hope Alexander turns up safe.”
Key and Jackson have been together since 2010, Hello! magazine reported. They welcomed their first daughter in 2014.

When Jackson’s rockstar grandfather learned of her first pregnancy, he was quick to congratulate her.
“He said, ‘Well done,’ and I said, ‘I didn’t have to try too hard,’ ” Jackson told the magazine ahead of the birth of her first child. (The rocker is the father of eight children.)
