Mick Jagger‘s dating life is almost as legendary as his groundbreaking rock career as frontman of The Rolling Stones.

Long before Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber’s love lives dominated social media conversation, Jagger regularly made headlines dating back to the 1960s with his very active and, at times, scandalous dating exploits. From his era-defining romance with ‘60s pop goddess Marianne Faithfull to his rocky relationship with American model Jerry Hall, Jagger was seemingly always looking for some satisfaction away from the stage … even when he wasn’t necessarily single.

Keep scrolling for a look back at Jagger’s legendary love life, including his engagement to current partner Melanie Hamrick:

Cleo Sylvestre

Prior to the release of The Rolling Stones’ debut single “Come On” in 1963, Jagger was involved with Sylvestre. While her time with Jagger was short-lived, Sylvestre got a boost from The Rolling Stones when they served as her backing band on her hit “To Know Him Is to Love Him.”

Sylvestre transitioned to acting by making her West End debut in 1967’s Wise Child. She later became the first Black actress to star in a leading role at London’s prestigious Royal National Theatre.

Chrissie Shrimpton

Chrissie — the younger sister of ‘60s It Girl Jean Shrimpton — was with Jagger for three years between 1963 and 1966, at the apex of The Rolling Stones’ early success.

Shrimpton looked back on her time with the “sweet [and] loving” Jagger in a 2012 interview with the Daily Mail, in which she recalled the difficulties of dating a global rockstar.

“We’d be walking down the street, and suddenly he’d see some Stones’ fans,” she remembered. “My hand would suddenly be dropped and he’d be walking ahead on his own.”

Shrimpton continued, “The fans used to attack me and throw things at me, and it was often really frightening. I can remember being in cars and having to hold the roof up because there were girls piling onto it and we thought we were going to be crushed.”

The pair were briefly engaged, before Jagger broke the news to Shrimpton that he wanted to live together without tying the knot. The couple broke up in 1966 after it became clear to Shrimpton that Jagger was smitten with singer Faithfull.

Marianne Faithfull

From 1966 to 1970, Jagger made endless headlines for dating Faithfull. Their careers were intertwined with their love lives, as Faithfull covered the Stones’ hit “As Tears Go By” and Jagger cowrote her hit 1969 single, “Sister Morphine.”

Faithfull was still married to artist John Dunbar when she met Jagger but the couple divorced by 1966. She wrote in her 2000 autobiography that she suffered a miscarriage while eight months pregnant with Jagger’s daughter.

Her final months with Jagger were marked by Faithfull’s descent into drug addiction. She overdosed after swallowing 150 sleeping pills and spent six days in a coma.

In a 2011 interview with The Irish Times, Faithfull said her relationship with Jagger ended because she couldn’t “cope with his sexual freedom and infidelity.”

“I see that more as my flaw. I was too young. If I’d been older, I am sure I would have been able to cope …. He was a boy who just couldn’t say no, every man would do that if he could,” she claimed.

When Faithfull died at age 78 in January 2025, Jagger remembered her as “a wonderful friend, a beautiful singer and a great actress.”

“She was so much part of my life for so long … She will always be remembered,” Jagger wrote via Instagram.

Marsha Hunt

Jagger’s one-year relationship with Hunt was crucial to his career, as the singer has claimed she inspired the iconic Rolling Stones track “Brown Sugar.”

Hunt gave birth to Jagger’s first child, daughter Karis Hunt Jagger, in November 1970. She told The Irish Independent in 2008 that she “of course” maintained contact with Jagger after their 1970 split so they could coparent daughter Karis.

As for the rumors Jagger wrote “Brown Sugar” about their time together, Hunt bluntly replied, “It doesn’t make me feel any way at all.”

Bianca Jagger

Shortly after breaking up with Hunt, Mick got involved with his future first wife, model and human rights advocate Bianca Jagger. The pair were married in Saint-Tropez, France in May 1971 and welcomed daughter Jade that October.

Bianca admitted to Vanity Fair in 1986 that she struggled with the stigma of being seen primarily as Mick’s wife, since she had her own career and political ambitions.

“Mick was obsessed with the idea of gold diggers. He sees all women as tarts,” she claimed. “And I had my mind set that I was not going to become Mrs. So—and—so — regardless of who I was married to. I was going to be an individual with my own personality, and I was going to do as I wanted and as I liked. I was not ready to make any compromises then. I knew much less than I do today. I was young, inexperienced, and arrogant, I suppose.”

Bianca joked at the time about possibly “writing a cheek-in-tongue book on How to Survive Marriage and Divorce to a Rock ‘n’ Roll Star.”

“We were saying what are the qualities required: submission. It’s probably the most male-chauvinistic-oriented society. A rock star is the worst husband a woman could have,” she insisted.

The couple separated in 1977, with Bianca filing for divorce the following year.

Jerry Hall

As was the case in many of Mick’s relationships, the beginning of his time with American model and actress Hall reportedly overlapped with the end of his marriage to Bianca, according to Hall’s memoir My Life in Pictures.

“My love was so strong I couldn’t do anything but follow Mick wherever he led me. I knew he had a reputation as a womanizer and he was still married, even if he hadn’t lived with Bianca for a year, but I was hopeful,” Hall wrote in an extract published by The Daily Mail. “I had got him to quit heroin — I could get him to give up girls as well.”

Mick and Hall stuck it out for 22 years before splitting in 1999. They had a private but unofficial marriage ceremony in Bali, Indonesia in 1990, though it would later cause conflict once they split.

The couple share four children together, welcoming Elizabeth “Lizzie” Scarlett in 1984, James Leroy Augustin in 1985, Georgia May Ayeesha in 1992 and Gabriel Luke Beauregard in 1997.

During a 1985 appearance on Late Night with David Letterman, Hall joked about the volatile nature of being with Mick.

Asked by host David Letterman whether women would frequently “throw themselves” at Mick in her presence, Hall quipped, “Yes, they are disgusting! I can’t say on live TV some of the things they suggest. No, really!”

“[These women] come up and they sort of lean over to give [Mick] their phone number … and I used to just not know what to do and be real polite and smile,” she admitted. “Now, I smile but I kick them under the table in the shins. It’s amazing how well it works!”

The final years for Hall and Mick were marred by claims that he’d cheated with models Carla Bruni and Luciana Gimenez, the latter of whom gave birth to the rocker’s son, Lucas Maurice Morad, in May 1999.

Hall took Mick to court over their 1990 wedding in Bali, but the High Court of England and Wales ultimately declared that unofficial ceremony was invalid, unlawful, and null and void in 1999. The pair then came to a “mutually acceptable legal and financial settlement.”

The model subsequently joked in a 2010 Guardian interview that Mick “served his purpose” in her life, but praised him as a nurturing father to their four children.

“He loves his children. He was very good at helping them with their homework; he loves history; he was good at taking them for walks with the dogs; he loves outdoor activities, bike rides, playing cricket,” she said.

Carla Bruni

Mick met Bruni in 1990 while he was still with Hall and she was dating guitarist Eric Clapton. The two reportedly began an affair shortly after Clapton introduced them at a Rolling Stones concert.

Hall eventually learned of Mick’s infidelity and reportedly directly asked Bruni to stay away from him while they tried to mend their relationship.

Bruni denied any affair at the time and told People in 1992, “He’s a fossil. His wife can keep him.”

She later admitted to seeing the rock star behind Hall’s back, but insisted in Mick: The Wild Life and Mad Genius of Jagger that she wasn’t the reason for Hall and Mick’s split.

“It was a fling,” Bruni acknowledged. “I was in my 20s, so I wasn’t thinking about a relationship. There were so many other women with Mick. I don’t think I was responsible.” She also claimed, “There were maybe 10 other women.”

Bruni went on to become France’s first lady after tying the knot with Nicolas Sarkozy in 2008 following his election as French president.

Luciana Gimenez

The final straw for Hall and Mick came when she learned that Brazilian model Gimenez was pregnant with the Rolling Stones frontman’s baby. Mick’s seventh child, son Lucas, was born in May 1999.

Gimenez and Mick were not together long, but she has been publicly supportive of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee on social media over the years.

Sophie Dahl

Mick’s next high-profile romance was with model and author Dahl. Mick was 43 years older than Dahl when they got together, but she later told The Scotsman that the age gap wasn’t out of the ordinary for her family.

“[My grandfather] Stanley was 26 years older than [my grandmother] and had been married before so it was very scandalous at the time,” she said. “But they absolutely adored each other and they were together until he died.”

Dahl and Mick weren’t together nearly as long as her grandparents, as they split in 2001 after one year of dating.

L’Wren Scott

Fashion designer Scott and Mick were first linked in 2001 and they were together on-and-off for the rest of her life. Scott was a rising sensation in the fashion world, as her gowns were worn by Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman and Amy Adams, among others, at the Oscars.

Tragically, Scott died by suicide in 2014. Mick’s spokesperson told Us Weekly at the time that he was “completely shocked and devastated” by her death.

“I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way. We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves,” Mick wrote via Facebook.

He continued, “She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me. I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received. I will never forget her.”

Mick honored Scott’s memory by establishing a scholarship in her name at London’s Central Saint Martins College in 2015.

The school’s program director, Fabio Piras, announced the scholarship, “I am very grateful to receive this extremely generous scholarship package, gifted by Mick Jagger in L’Wren Scott’s name.”

“Our students sacrifice much to take up this course and work extremely hard while they are here,” Piras added. “I am very proud of the fact that this course through its alumni, continues to be recognized as a major contributor to the future of the global fashion industry.”

Melanie Hamrick

American ballet dancer Hamrick and Mick have been together since 2015, after meeting at a Rolling Stones concert in Tokyo.

Hamrick gave birth to their son, Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger, in 2016 and confirmed in 2025 that Mick proposed “two or three years” earlier.

“Maybe one day we’ll marry, maybe not,” Hamrick said. “We are so happy in our current life that I would be too afraid to change anything.”

Mick and Hamrick, who are 44 years apart in age, notably collaborated on the ballet Porte Rogue, which featured the music of The Rolling Stones.
