Mick Jagger and his fiancée Melanie Hamrick posed for photographers on the red carpet at the New York City Ballet Fall Fashion Gala in a rare appearance for the pair
Mick Jagger and his fiancée Melanie Hamrick looked loved up as they made a rare red carpet appearance. The private couple looked in love as they walked the carpet at the New York City Ballet Fall Fashion Gala.
The Rolling Stones rocker, 82, walked the red carpet in the United States alongside his fiancée Melanie, 38. The former dancer wowed in a stunning red satin gown with a thigh high split whilst Mick looked dapped in a black blazer and a floral shirt.
The pair looked loved up as they walked a rare red carpet together after meeting backstage at a concert in 2014, when she was touring with New York City’s American Ballet Theatre.
She was with the dance company for 15 years before she retired from dancing in 2019 to focus on her love of writing fiction, which she now does as a career, and raise her and Mick’s son Deveraux.
Melanie had previously been quizzed about the couple’s romance and the age gap. Of their romance, she shared to The Times: “Everyone’s going to have their opinion. If you think about others’ opinions, no matter where you are in life, you’re going to have a problem and you’re going to analyse it.
“Am I happy? Yes. Are the people in my life happy? Yes. Am I hurting anyone? No. Okay, they can mind their own business.” Joking about their age gap in another interview, she added: “He’s younger than me!
“He’s amazing; he really is … I feel very secure in my relationship. There will always be rumours, but I know what Mick and I have, so I don’t pay attention to them.”
Earlier this year, Melanie confirmed the pair had got engaged “two or three years ago” but were in no rush to tie the knot. She said: “Maybe one day we’ll marry, maybe not. We are so happy in our current life that I would be too afraid to change anything. We try to support each other, be there for each other, and make sure everyone is happy. That’s all that matters to me and all I strive for.”
When the pair first met backstage at his concert, Melanie didn’t think anything about them dating. “Maybe a spark, but nothing incredible, like, ‘Come on, I’ll blow your mind and we’ll travel the world,” she recalled of their first meeting, “We didn’t even exchange phone numbers. At the time, I wasn’t in a relationship, but he was.”
The pair also chatted about the son Deveraux Octavian Basil they share together, revealing he’s just like his dad. Melanie explained: “It’s amazing. It’s natural. It’s in his genes. He just, like, moves. No one taught him.
“No one influenced him. He moved like that before he even saw one of his dad’s concerts. It’s still there.”
