Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger is engaged to Melanie Hamrick.
Melanie Hamrick, Jagger’s longtime partner, confirmed in a new interview with Paris Match that the two have been secretly engaged for years.
The 37-year-old former ballerina revealed that the music icon popped the question “two or three years” ago. But despite the big step, she says the couple is in no rush to head down the aisle.
“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,” she told the outlet.
The 81-year-old 'Paint It Black' crooner and Hamrick have been together since 2014, when they met in Japan.
He was on tour with his band while she was traveling with the American Ballet Theatre. Two years later, the couple welcomed their son Deveraux - Jagger’s eighth child.
In a 2019 interview with The New York Times, the ballerina shared a glimpse into life with their son, revealing he "dances a ton".
"I don't have him in classes yet. He plays the ukulele and makes up songs. He's got the gene. Definitely. I really want him to take tap. For a little boy to make some noise with his feet? He loves music classes," she added.
Despite the 44-year age gap between her and her partner, Hamrick insists it's not something she dwells on.
"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,” she told The Times in September 2024.
The engagement news comes after months of speculation, which began in 2023 when Hamrick was spotted wearing a sparkling diamond on that finger. At the time, she cheekily addressed the rumors in an interview with PEOPLE.
“I mean, I have to giggle because did Mick give me the ring? Yes. Is it for that finger? Yes,” she said. “But are we, like, horny teenagers where we’re giving each other…? In my mind, it’s a promise ring. We’ll be immature and call it a promise ring.”
Jagger has only walked down the aisle once before - with Bianca Jagger, whom he married in 1971 and divorced in 1978. The two share a daughter, Jade Jagger, now 53.
Over the years, the rock legend has been romantically linked to several high-profile women, including Marianne Faithfull, Jerry Hall, and the late L’Wren Scott.
In addition to Deveraux and Jade, Jagger is also dad to Karis, 54, Elizabeth, 41, Georgia May, 33, James, 39, Gabriel, 27, and Lucas, 25.
