Congratulations are in order — and overdue — for Mick Jagger and his longtime parter Melanie Hamrick, who are engaged.
Hamrick confirmed the news to Paris Match, revealing that the Rolling Stones frontman has been her fiancé for “two or three years.” On the topic of marriage, she shared, “Maybe one day we’ll marry, maybe not. We are so happy in our current life that I would be too afraid to change anything.”
Jagger and Hamrick, a former ballerina and choreographer at American Ballet Theatre, have been together since 2014. She says their love was a slow burn, as Jagger was still dating the late model L’Wren Scott when they met in Japan, where the Stones and the American Ballet Theatre were both touring at the time. “We didn’t even exchange phone numbers,” she recalled. “At the time, I wasn’t in a relationship, but he was.”
The couple share eight-year-old son Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger, and the sweet boy is often featured on his mother’s Instagram account.
Jagger has seven other children, welcoming his eldest daughter, Karis, 54, with actress Marsha Hunt in 1970. The year after, he married ex-wife Bianca Jagger and the couple welcomed their daughter Jade, 53. With his ex-wife Jerry Hall, Jagger shares four children — daughters Elizabeth, 41, and Georgia May, 33, as well as sons James, 39, and Gabriel, 27. He also shares son Lucas, 25, with model Luciana Morad Gimenez.
