Wait, what?! At 82 years old, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has been secretly engaged to his 38-year-old girlfriend, former ballet dancer Melanie Hamrick \u2014 and no one knew until now.\n Yes, you read that right. The iconic rocker has been quietly off the market for years, and the world is only just finding out. In a bombshell interview with Paris Match on April 9, Hamrick finally confirmed what fans and tabloids have speculated since 2023: \u201cMick proposed to me two or three years ago,\u201d she said. But here\u2019s the twist \u2014 they might not even get married.\n \u201cMaybe we\u2019ll get married one day, maybe not. We\u2019re so happy right now that I\u2019m afraid of changing anything,\u201d Hamrick told the magazine.\n Talk about plot twists. The couple had sparked rumors last year when eagle-eyed fans noticed a diamond ring on Hamrick\u2019s finger, but at the time, she downplayed it as a \u201cpromise ring\u201d \u2014 a term used to describe jewelry exchanged during the dating phase, without necessarily meaning engagement.\n The unlikely couple first met in February 2014 in Japan, where Jagger was touring with The Rolling Stones and Hamrick was performing with the American Ballet Theatre. They began dating that summer, but unlike many celebrity couples, they\u2019ve stayed almost entirely out of the public eye ever since.\n In 2016, they welcomed their son, Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger. By 2019, Hamrick had retired from the ballet and relocated from New York to the UK to focus on motherhood and family life. In December 2020, Jagger even bought her a luxury mansion near Sarasota, Florida \u2014 a quiet love gesture from one of the world\u2019s loudest rock stars.\n Despite the 44-year age gap, Hamrick says she doesn\u2019t care what the world thinks.\n \u201cEveryone has their own opinions. If you worry too much about what people think \u2014 at any stage in life \u2014 you\u2019ll get lost in it all and never stop overanalyzing,\u201d she told The Times in 2024.\n The couple rarely makes public appearances, but they were seen at an Oscars after-party in March 2025, and again when Jagger brought their son to the 2024 Paris Olympics. So while they may not be flaunting their love on red carpets or Instagram, their bond seems strong, stable \u2014 and refreshingly unbothered by public opinion.\n Mick Jagger, born in 1943, is still very much active with The Rolling Stones and continues to perform on global stages, defying both age and gravity. His estimated net worth? Around $500 million.\n In case you lost count, Jagger is already the father of eight children. Deveraux is the youngest, while his oldest child, Karis, is now 55. The others include Jade (54), Elizabeth (42), James (40), Georgia May (34), Gabriel (28), and Lucas (26). The man is a legend \u2014 in more ways than one.\n For all the headlines their relationship could generate, it\u2019s the quiet confidence and unconventional peace between them that\u2019s most striking. Hamrick isn\u2019t rushing down the aisle. Jagger isn\u2019t making a media spectacle. They\u2019re simply… together. Engaged. Happy. Private.\n In a world obsessed with labels and timelines, Mick and Melanie are writing their own script \u2014 and at 82, the rockstar might just be proving that age really is just a number.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wait, what?!
