Love is in the air for Mick Jagger, the legendary 82-year-old rocker, and his fiancée, Melanie Hamrick, 38, as they made a rare and romantic red carpet appearance. This power couple, who usually keep their relationship under wraps, stole the show at the New York City Ballet Fall Fashion Gala, held at the David H. Koch Theatre. Mick, looking dapper as ever, sported a black velvet blazer over a vibrant floral shirt, paired with black trousers, sneakers, and eye-catching gold bracelets. Melanie, a former dancer with the American Ballet Theatre, shone in a stunning red satin gown with a cowl neck and a daring thigh slit, showcasing her graceful figure. Her elegant bun and simple yet glamorous makeup completed the look.
But here's where it gets interesting: Melanie, a talented dancer and now a fiction writer, retired from dancing in 2019 to focus on her writing career and spend more quality time with her son, Deveraux, whom she shares with Mick. The couple met backstage at a Rolling Stones concert in 2014, and their love story blossomed. In 2016, they welcomed their son, marking Mick's eighth child and a beautiful addition to his large family.
And this is the part most people miss: despite their 44-year age gap, Melanie and Mick are a testament to the power of love and happiness. In an interview with The Times of London, Melanie shared that she has learned to ignore the naysayers and that their ages are no longer a concern. She believes in living life on her terms and creating her own happiness.
Mick and Melanie's collaboration extends beyond their personal relationship. They worked together on the 2019 ballet Porte Rouge, where Melanie choreographed a ballet set to the iconic tunes of the Rolling Stones. Mick played a crucial role in ensuring the songs flowed seamlessly together.
