Who are the mothers of Mick Jagger's kids?
Mick Jagger has eight children from five different mothers:
Marsha Hunt
Jagger shares his oldest daughter, Karis Hunt Jagger, with former actress, model and author Marsha Hunt. The couple started dating in secret in 1969, when Jagger was still in a relationship with singer Marianne Faithfull. Legend has it that Jagger was so captivated by Hunt that he penned the Rolling Stone hit "Brown Sugar" as a tribute to the young ingenue.
According to Hunt's autobiography, Real Life, Jagger proposed they have a child together shortly after they started dating, but then grew distant during Hunt's pregnancy and failed to show up for Karis' birth in November 1970. The couple split soon after, in part because Jagger had moved on with another woman (more on her in a minute).
Hunt told the Daily Mail that she didn't regret her relationship with Jagger (who thankfully went on to build a strong bond with his eldest child). "He was educated. He was a radical," she said. "He was not the man people think they know now. Somehow, that all gets lost over time."
Bianca Jagger

The Rolling Stones frontman started dating Bianca Jagger when he was still with Hunt. They married in May 1971, when Bianca was pregnant with their daughter, Jade, and divorced in 1978 after a series of affairs on both sides (but especially his).
"In the first years of our marriage, I played the wife. I was docile and subservient … but groupies weren't an easy thing to get used to," Bianca told People in 1977, a year before she filed for divorce on grounds of adultery. "Mick is in some ways misogynist because there are too many women available to him. Mick distrusts women because they are all trying to use him—they are nobodies becoming somebodies."
Jerry Hall

Jagger met model Jerry Hall in 1976, when she was engaged to musician Bryan Ferry and he was still married to Bianca. By 1977, the affair was on. "My love was so strong I couldn't do anything but follow Mick wherever he led me," Hall wrote in her book, My Life in Pictures, as published in an excerpt by the Daily Mail. "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."
The couple spent 23 years together—many of them fraught with tension over Jagger's infidelities, which included a well documented affair with Carla Bruni—and had four children: Elizabeth, James, Georgia and Gabriel. They split for good in 1999, after Luciana Gimenez revealed that she was expecting Jagger's child. (Although Jagger and Hall married in 1990, they learned upon their breakup that their nuptials weren't legally blinding.)
Despite the ups and downs of their relationship, the rock-and-roll power couple remains on good terms today. Hall was even on hand to celebrate her ex's 80th birthday in July 2023.
Luciana Gimenez
Jagger met and impregnated model Luciana Gimenez when he was still married to Hall. Although the two never entered into a serious, longterm relationship, they did develop a friendship that lasts to this day.
"Today is Mick Jagger's birthday, but for me simply 'Mick,' my son's father, and my friend for 25/26 years," Gimenez wrote on Instagram in July. "There are so many stories! 🤣Mick is light hearted, cheerful, talented, super funny and a great dad!...Happy Bday Darling!! And for those who say we only saw each other 2 times 😂😂 plenty of pictures in there huh?"
Melanie Hamrick

Jagger is currently in a relationship with American ballerina Melanie Hamrick, the mother of his eighth child. The couple started dating in 2014 and welcomed son Deveraux in December 2016.
"I just remember feeling shock at first. I had never thought about [having kids]," she told You Magazine. "It never crossed my mind. In the world of ballet, not many dancers have babies. You're always thinking about ballet, ballet, ballet, and not really about having children … When I felt that first heartbeat, I realized there was nothing better in the world."

In a 2019 interview with the Daily Mail, Lizzy shared that she sometimes draws from her dad's former stage looks. "I do get a lot of inspiration from his make-up looks from the 1970s, which he doesn’t really go for any more," she said. "He’s a bit more reserved with his make-up looks on stage these days." Fortunately, there's no shortage of photos she can use for reference.
