Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Mick Jagger's girlfriend defends 44-year age gap

Caption: Mick Jagger's girlfriend defends 44-year age gap. At 37, former ballerina Melanie Hamrick says she doesn't waste time thinking about the 44-year age gap, she has with the Rolling Stones lead singer, who turned 81 in July. ”I don't think about it. 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. OK, they can mind their own business.” The couple first met backstage at a Rolling Stones concert in Tokyo, Japan, in February 2014. Jagger’s longtime girlfriend, fashion designer L'Wren Scott, died by suicide in March the same year. Following her death, Jagger wrote at the time how he was "struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way”. A few months later, Jagger was in a relationship with Hamrick. In 2016, the couple welcomed a son, Deveraux 'Devi' Octavian Basil Jagger, the rocker's eighth child by a fifth partner. Jagger’s other children include daughter Karis with actor Marsha Hunt, daughter Jade with ex-wife Bianca Jagger, Elizabeth, James, Georgia and Gabriel, all with Jerry Hall and son Lucas with Luciana Gimenez Morad.
