Mick Jagger is engaged to long-time partner Melanie Hamrick, sources claim.
Speculation on the couple's status arose last month, after Melanie was seen sporting a diamond encrusted ring on her engagement finger. At the time, the 36-year old said it was a "promise ring" given to her by the 76 year-old rock star.
The Rolling Stones frontman has been with the former ballerina for nine years and are parents to six year-old daughter Deveraux - Jagger's eighth child. Now, pals of Hamrick have said that she revealed their engagement while on a recent trip to New York.
As reported by the Mirror, a source said: “Melanie was at the American Ballet Theatre and she was telling her friends she was engaged to Mick. She was very clear her ring is an engagement ring and she is now his fiancée.
"Her family also very much understand them to be engaged and are thrilled.”
Quizzed on her ring previously, Melanie said: “I have to giggle because did Mick give me the ring? Yes. Is it for that finger? Yes. But are we like horny teenagers where we’re giving each other... In my mind, it’s a promise ring. We’ll be immature and call it a promise ring.”
It is the third engagement for Mick, whose hits include Satisfaction. He was married to Bianca Perez Mora Macias from 1971 to 1978.
After their divorce, he proposed to supermodel Jerry Hall, who he was with from 1977 to 1999. They had an unofficial marriage ceremony in Bali, Indonesia, in 1990 – which was later declared void.
The source added: “There are no plans for a wedding but it means a lot to Melanie to be engaged – that is what she has been saying. All her friends are happy for her.”
Mick has had kids with actress Marsha Hunt and model Luciana Morad Gimenez as well as with Melanie, Bianca and Jerry.
