Mick Jagger, the electrifying frontman of The Rolling Stones, has long been a symbol of rock ‘n’ roll charisma and endurance. Born on July 26, 1943, in Dartford, UK, Jagger discovered his love for music early, singing in a church choir and soaking up musical influences from radio and television. A chance meeting with childhood friend Keith Richards reignited a mutual passion for rhythm and blues, leading to the formation of The Rolling Stones with Brian Jones in 1962. Their rise to fame was swift, especially after Jagger and Richards began co-writing songs, producing the band’s first global hit, “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.”

Initially, Jagger had other ambitions, studying business and contemplating careers in journalism or politics. However, as chronicled in Christopher Andersen’s biography Jagger, his commitment to music ultimately took precedence. Over six decades, The Rolling Stones became rock legends, releasing classics like “Paint It Black” and “Sympathy for the Devil,” winning multiple Grammy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award, and earning a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. With their growing fame came notoriety for wild antics, and Jagger’s personal life—particularly his romantic entanglements—often made headlines.

Throughout his life, Jagger has been romantically linked to a number of famous women, including Chrissie Shrimpton, Bebe Buell, Carla Bruni, Marianne Faithfull, and Marsha Hunt. He married Nicaraguan actress Bianca Jagger in 1971 and held an unofficial ceremony with American model Jerry Hall in 1990. One of his longest and most serious relationships was with fashion designer L’Wren Scott, whose tragic passing in 2014 deeply affected Jagger. In her memory, he used her estate to establish a scholarship in her name, reflecting the deep personal loss he endured.

Jagger found renewed happiness in 2014 when he began dating American ballerina Melanie Hamrick. Two years later, they welcomed their son, Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger, making Mick a father for the eighth time at the age of 73. Deveraux joined a blended family of accomplished siblings, including Jade, Georgia May, and Elizabeth Jagger. Hamrick, who had met Jagger during a ballet tour, has since shifted her focus from performance to choreography and writing. Her social media posts often feature their son, whose striking resemblance to his father has not gone unnoticed by fans.

Most recently, Hamrick has shared heartwarming glimpses of Deveraux celebrating his sixth birthday, including moments in a recording studio and at a theme park. One Instagram post from late 2022 even sparked rumors of marriage, as fans noticed a prominent ring on Hamrick’s finger. While neither Jagger nor Hamrick has confirmed any wedding plans, their evident joy in raising their son together suggests a fulfilling partnership built on love and stability. For a man whose life has often been defined by spectacle, Jagger appears to have found a quieter, more contented chapter with his young family.
