Who is Mick Jagger’s 36-year-old former ballerina girlfriend, Melanie Hamrick? She just attended King Charles and Queen Camilla’s banquet, and shares son Deveraux with The Rolling Stones frontman
Mick Jagger definitely isn’t your typical 80-year-old. In between lounging on lavish yachts and releasing new music, the Rolling Stones rock legend also manages to find time for his love life with long-time girlfriend Melanie Hamrick.
Earlier this week, the couple was spotted enjoying a date night at the American Ballet Theatre Fall Gala in New York.
Here’s everything you need to know about the rock star’s 36-year-old partner of nearly a decade.
Melanie Hamrick was formerly with the American Ballet Theatre
The Virginia-born dancer started learning ballet from an early age, per People. She’s trained with renowned ballerina Alla Sizova as well as instructors Nicolai Morozov and Adrienne Dellas.
In 2004, she joined the American Ballet Theatre, performing in shows like Apollo and The Nutcracker. According to The New York Times, she retired from ballet theatre in 2019 after 15 years of work, and is now pursuing choreography.
She got a US$100,000 promise ring from Mick Jagger
Per British media, Hamrick received a US$100,000 promise ring from Jagger. “I have to giggle because did Mick give me the ring? Yes. Is it for that finger? Yes. But … In my mind, it’s a promise ring. We’ll be immature and call it a promise ring,” she told People.
She once wrote an erotic novel
Earlier this year, Hamrick published her first erotic novel titled First Position. The work of fiction follows a driven young ballerina, with some story elements “loosely based on some truths backstage” of Hamrick’s life as a dancer, per Vanity Fair.
