Legendary rockstar Mick Jagger and his longtime girlfriend Melanie Hamrick have officially confirmed their engagement, although it appears that wedding bells may not be ringing anytime soon. In an interview with Paris Match on April 9, 2023, Hamrick, who is 37 years old, revealed that they have been engaged for "two or three years." Despite this engagement, there are currently no plans for the couple to tie the knot. Hamrick 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.”
This latest news about the couple’s engagement isn’t entirely unexpected, especially considering that Hamrick was seen wearing a stunning diamond ring from Jagger earlier in 2023. At that time, she addressed the ring during an interview with People, referring to it as a "promise ring." Hamrick playfully noted, “I mean, I have to giggle because did Mick give me the ring? Yes. Is it for that finger? Yes. 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.”
The love story between Hamrick and Jagger began in 2014 when they met at a Rolling Stones concert in Tokyo. At that time, Jagger was involved with the late model L’Wren Scott, who tragically passed away shortly after. The couple's relationship faced scrutiny from fans, largely due to their 44-year age difference. In a candid discussion with The Times last year, Hamrick expressed her thoughts on the public's opinions, stating, “I don’t think about it. 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.”
Jagger and Hamrick share a child, a son named Deveraux “Devi” Octavian Basil Jagger, who was born in 2016. This child is Hamrick’s first and Jagger’s eighth, adding to the rockstar's growing family. The couple seems to be enjoying their time together and nurturing their family life while navigating the complexities of their high-profile relationship.
As fans continue to watch this couple's journey, it remains to be seen whether they will eventually walk down the aisle or continue to embrace their current status. Regardless, Jagger and Hamrick appear to be content in their relationship, enjoying the moments they share together.
