It's wedding bells time for Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger as he recently got engaged to his partner Melanie Hamrick. Mick Jagger who is 79 years old will be marrying his long-time 36-year-old girlfriend Melanie Hamrick. Melanie Hamrick is a ballet dancer by profession. Jagger and Hamrick are in a relationship for several years.The couple also has a child together. In 2016, they were blessed with a son, Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger. These rumours gained attention because the woman was seen wearing a sparkling ring and, sources close to the couple have told the British media that it is indeed an engagement ring.
"Melanie was at the American Ballet Theatre and told her friends she was engaged to Mick," reported a US media portal adding that "Her family also understands that they are engaged and are thrilled."
However, the plans do not appear to be immediate, with the idea being that the wedding will be delayed a little longer. For her, the mother of one of the couple's children, the significance of the engagement is very important, which is why they would have taken this step even though they do not wish to be wed anytime soon. A few months ago, in November, Hamrick laughed off the wedding rumours.
"I have to laugh because, did Mick give me the ring? Yes. Is it for that finger? Yes. But are we like teenagers giving it to each other? In my mind, it's a promise ring. We'll be immature and call it a promise ring," Jagger's now fiancee said in June 2023.
This is another step forward in the Rolling Stones frontman's life. He has fathered eight children with five different women. Although the confirmed date of the wedding has not yet been announced, because they may not even know it themselves, people are really looking forward to their wedding.
