Mick Jagger Quietly Engaged to Longtime Partner Melanie Hamrick

Well, this isn’t your average rock ’n’ roll headline. Mick Jagger—yes, the Mick Jagger of Rolling Stones legend—is officially engaged. And not to some fleeting flame either. We’re talking about his partner of nearly a decade, Melanie Hamrick. The kicker? They’ve apparently been engaged for two to three years and just didn’t bother telling the rest of us.

So… When Did This Happen?

Turns out, the engagement wasn’t some grand, paparazzi-soaked proposal. In fact, it was the opposite—quiet, low-key, and tucked away from the flashing lights. Hamrick, a former ballerina turned choreographer and author, spilled the beans during an interview with Paris Match. She casually confirmed, “We’ve been engaged for two or three years.”

Imagine sitting on that kind of news for years and just casually dropping it in a magazine interview. That’s a power move if we’ve ever seen one.

Now, before you start checking your calendar for a royal wedding-style spectacle, don’t bother. Hamrick also said they’re not planning to tie the knot anytime soon. Or, well, maybe ever. “Maybe one day we’ll get married, maybe not,” she said with a shrug-you-can-hear-through-the-page kind of vibe.

And honestly, can you blame her? When you’ve got Mick Jagger on your arm and a beautiful child together, a wedding feels like just another event in the calendar—one that might not be entirely necessary.

Who Is Melanie Hamrick, Anyway?

Good question. If you haven’t been following their low-key love story, here’s a little refresher.

Melanie Hamrick, 37, had an impressive ballet career with the American Ballet Theatre before she stepped into the world of choreography—and then, unexpectedly, into the public eye as Jagger’s partner. The two first crossed paths in 2014 in Japan. He was on tour; she was performing. Fast forward to 2016, and their son Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger was born.

Yes, that’s quite the name. Deveraux isn’t just the only child Hamrick shares with Jagger—he’s also Jagger’s eighth. Eighth! The man has as many children as a small soccer team, and somehow he’s still going strong at 81.

That Ring, Though…

Eagle-eyed fans first noticed something sparkly back in 2023. Hamrick was spotted wearing a ring that screamed engagement, and naturally, speculation took off. She brushed it off at the time, calling it a “promise ring” or a “commitment ring”—which, honestly, felt like the kind of thing you say when you’re not quite ready to deal with the media circus.

But now we know: it’s the ring. Just, you know, with a three-year delay in confirmation.

If this whole thing feels very “off-the-grid romance,” it kind of is. They’ve managed to keep a surprisingly low profile, given Jagger’s rock-god status. And in an age when celebrity couples tend to over-share and over-gram every brunch and baby bump, their old-school privacy feels…refreshing.

Still Got the Moves

Meanwhile, Jagger isn’t slowing down. Far from it. The Rolling Stones are still on tour (because of course they are), and Mick’s still strutting across stages like he’s half his age. That signature swagger? Still very much intact.

And Hamrick isn’t exactly twiddling her thumbs either. She’s branched into choreography and published her first novel, First Position, in 2023. The book, set in the high-pressure world of ballet, gives readers a fictionalized peek into the world she once called home. Critics called it “sharp, heartfelt, and wickedly fun”—a bit like its author, apparently.

Will They Ever Get Married?

That’s the million-dollar question. And the answer? A solid maybe.

Hamrick’s take is clear: she’s not sweating it. Whether or not they ever exchange vows, the foundation’s already there—years of partnership, a child, and a life shared between continents.

Still, you can’t help but wonder: will we one day wake up to a quiet courthouse wedding announcement or a candid beachside ceremony photo? Or will they just keep doing their thing—engaged in spirit, if not by paperwork?

Honestly, either way, it works.
