Mick Jagger and Melanie Hamrick Officially Engaged
In celebrity news, rock legend Mick Jagger, the iconic frontman of The Rolling Stones, is engaged to his longtime partner, Melanie Hamrick. After years of speculation, Hamrick confirmed their engagement, revealing that the couple has been quietly betrothed for several years. While confirming the engagement to French media, the 81-year-old music icon and his 37-year-old fiancée, a former ballerina, indicated there’s no immediate rush to the altar.
Uncertainty Surrounds Wedding Plans
Despite the engagement, wedding bells may not be ringing soon for the pair. “Perhaps a wedding will happen one day, perhaps not. We are content with our lives as they are, and I would be hesitant to alter anything,” Hamrick stated.
Discussing her connection with the celebrated musician, who is 44 years her senior, she noted, “We strive to support each other, be present for one another, and ensure everyone’s happiness. This is my priority and objective.”
How They Met: A Transcontinental Romance

“Promise Ring” Speculation
In 2023, Hamrick was observed wearing a diamond ring, intensifying engagement rumors. However, she refrained from confirming an engagement at that time.
“I consider it a promise ring. We jokingly refer to it as a promise ring,” she disclosed to People magazine then.
Initial Spark and Relationship Development
When questioned about an initial romantic spark upon meeting the “Satisfaction” vocalist, she admitted, “Perhaps a spark, but nothing overwhelming, like, ‘Wow, you’ll change my life and we’ll travel the globe.’ We didn’t even exchange contact details initially. At that time, I was single, but he was in a relationship.”
Jagger’s Extensive Family
Jagger has eight offspring with five different women. His eldest daughter, Karis, 54, is with actress Marsha Hunt.
He has a daughter, Jade, 53, with his former wife Bianca Jagger, to whom he was married from 1971 to 1978.
With Jerry Hall, to whom he was engaged from 1990 to 1997, Jagger has four children: daughters Elizabeth, 41, Georgia May, 33, and sons James, 39, and Gabriel, 27.
In 1999, his son Lucas, 25, was born with model Luciana Morad Gimenez. In 2016, Jagger and Hamrick welcomed their son, Deveraux, now 8.
Jagger’s past relationships include Marianne Faithfull and L’Wren Scott. Scott tragically passed away in 2014 at the age of 49.
Hamrick’s Post-Ballet Career
Following her ballet career, Hamrick has transitioned to writing erotic novels.
“’Fifty Shades of Grey’ definitely served as inspiration,” Hamrick told The Post in August, adding she felt the genre was “lacking ballet elements.”
When asked about her favorite Rolling Stones songs, she enthusiastically mentioned: “Well, I adore ‘She’s a Rainbow,’ as it was my preferred piece in the ‘Porte Rouge’ choreography. And I also love ‘Whole Wide World’ from the new album [‘Hackney Diamonds’].”
Competitive Spirit with Jagger
She playfully described her competitive interactions with the “Sympathy for the Devil” singer, despite their 44-year age difference.
“He maintains excellent physical condition,” she remarked. “However, my competitive nature emerges, and I think, ‘How long did you exercise on the bike? I’m going to exercise longer!’”
