Personal Life and Age Gap
Melanie Hamrick and Mick Jagger, 82, began their relationship in 2014 after meeting at a Rolling Stones concert in Tokyo. They welcomed their son, Deveraux, in 2016. Hamrick, who was 26 when she met Jagger, addressed the age difference between them in a 2024 interview with The Sunday Times. She expressed a philosophy of not dwelling on external opinions, stating, "I don't think about it." She elaborated that focusing on others' judgments can lead to problems and overanalysis.

No. OK, they can mind their own business."
