Mick Jagger, 81, is engaged to Melanie Hamrick, aged 37, stating, "Perhaps day we will marry, perhaps not."
Yes, it's true! Mick Jagger, the legendary Rolling Stones frontman, and Melanie Hamrick, a retired ballerina, have been engaged for about two or three years. Melanie recently confirmed this during an interview, adding that while they're thrilled with their current life together, they aren't in a rush to tie the knot. She humorously mentioned, "Maybe one day we'll marry, maybe not," emphasizing their happiness as it is.
The couple first met in 2014 while both were touring in Japan, and they share an 8-year-old son, Deveraux. Despite their 44-year age gap, Melanie has expressed that they focus on their happiness and don't let outside opinions affect their relationship. It's a love story that defies convention but clearly works for them!
“Maybe one day we'll marry, maybe not," she continued. "We are so happy in our current life that I would be too afraid to change anything."
And while Melanie, 37, is excited to spend forever with Mick, 81, she also admitted that their love story was sort of a slow burn. After all, Mick was still dating the late model L'Wren Scott when they were introduced in Japan, where the Stones and the American Ballet Theatre were both touring at the time.
"We didn't even exchange phone numbers," Melanie admitted. "At the time, I wasn't in a relationship, but he was.” Acknowledging that there was "maybe a spark," she added, "But nothing incredible, like, 'Come on, I'll blow your mind, and we'll travel the world.'"
Mick Jagger was married to Bianca Jagger from 1971 to 1978, and they share a daughter, Jade, who is now 53. Beyond his marriage to Bianca, Mick has fathered seven other children with various partners: Karis (54), Elizabeth (41), James (39), Georgia May (33), Gabriel (27), Lucas (25), and his youngest, Deveraux, who is 8 years old. Tragically, he also had a stillborn daughter, Corrina
Mick's family tree is as dynamic as his legendary career! It's fascinating how he balances his role as a father alongside his iconic status in music.
And throughout their romance, the pair have faced speculation over their 44-year age gap an aspect of their love story that Melanie insists she would otherwise not feel the need to address. “I don’t think about it," she shared in September. "Everyone’s going to have their opinion. If you think about others’ opinions, no matter where you are in life, you’re going to have a problem and you’re going to analyze it."
Melanie Hamrick's approach to handling public scrutiny is refreshingly straightforward. She chooses to "put the blinders on" and focus on what truly matters her happiness and the well-being of those close to her. Her statement, "Am I happy? Yes. Are the people in my life happy? Yes. Am I hurting anyone? No," is a powerful reminder to prioritize personal contentment over external opinions. It's a philosophy that resonates deeply, don't you think??
