Co-founding the band alongside Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, and Keith Richards, Jagger has seen many changes over the years. With Watts passing away in 2021 and Jones no longer with the band, the current lineup includes Jagger, Richards, and bassist Ronnie Wood, 76. They continue to tour and recently released “Hackney Diamonds”, their first album of new material in 18 years, featuring collaborations with stars like Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, and Lady Gaga.
Over the past six decades, Jagger’s fame has kept his personal life in the limelight, especially with his eight children. His eldest daughter, Karis, was born in 1969, and his youngest, Deveraux, was born in December 2016.
Mick married Bianca Pérez-Mora Macías in 1971 in a star-studded ceremony in Saint-Tropez. They welcomed their daughter, Jade, who is now 52 and known for her work in interior and jewelry design. Bianca became a socialite and was often in the news, notably for a legendary story about arriving at her birthday party on a white horse at Studio 54. She later clarified that it was a surprise orchestrated by Steve Rubell, co-founder of the club, inspired by a photo of her on a horse in Nicaragua.
While both Jagger and Bianca had affairs during their marriage, it ultimately led to their separation. Bianca filed for divorce after Mick briefly dated model Jerry Hall. Their divorce was finalized in 1978, with Bianca receiving a settlement of $1.2 million, as reported by New York Magazine. Reflecting on the split, she expressed to The Guardian that it felt like a failure, stating: “I was brought up Catholic, to believe that marriage is for life. And we failed”.
After her marriage ended, Bianca shifted her focus from partying to activism, championing the rights of vulnerable individuals through Amnesty International. Her efforts earned her the Right Livelihood Award, often referred to as the “alternative Nobel Prize”, in 2004 for using her fame to advocate for those in need.
Today, Mick Jagger is in a committed relationship with American choreographer Melanie Hamrick, 36. They have been together for a decade and share a son.

I Helped a Disabled Man at the Restaurant Where I Worked and He Changed My Life
I had been working at this fast-food joint in a mall for a couple of years. You’d think I had seen it all by then, but the other day, something happened that really shook me. I’m Jamie, and this is the story of how an encounter with an old man in a wheelchair unexpectedly changed my life.
It was a typical busy afternoon, the kind where you barely have time to catch your breath. I was rushing from table to table, balancing trays and dodging kids running around.

That was when I saw him: an old man in a wheelchair. He looked lost and anxious, clutching a dead cell phone like it was his last lifeline. He started asking people for help, but most ignored him or looked uncomfortable.
You know how people get when they think someone might ask them for something: money or time, who knows? The commotion caught the attention of Mr. Hughes, our manager. Mr. Hughes was all about keeping the customers happy and the noise level down, and he didn’t look pleased.

“Jamie, can you deal with that?” he said, nodding toward the old man. “We can’t have him disturbing the customers.”
I felt a knot in my stomach. The elderly fellow clearly needed help, and it didn’t seem right to just throw him out. “I’ll handle it, Mr. Hughes. Just give me a minute,” I replied, hoping I wasn’t making a mistake.
Soon afterward, I approached the old man, who looked like he was on the verge of tears. “Hello, Sir. I’m Jamie. Do you need some help?”

His eyes lit up with a mix of hope and relief. “Yes, please. My name is Mr. Thompson. I came here with my granddaughter, Emily, but we got separated. My phone died, and I have no way to contact her.”
I nodded, feeling a pang of sympathy. “Don’t worry, Mr. Thompson. We’ll figure this out. You can use my phone to call her.”
I handed him my phone, and he fumbled with it briefly before dialing. When Emily picked up, I could hear the panic in her voice even though I was standing a few feet away.

“Grandpa! Where are you? I’ve been looking everywhere!” she cried.
Mr. Thompson’s voice shook as he answered, “I’m at the food court, dear. Jamie here is helping me.”
I took the phone from him gently. “Hi, Emily. I’m Jamie. We’re going to help your grandfather find you. Where are you right now?”
“I’m near the entrance by the big fountain. I was just about to call for help,” she said, her voice still shaky.
“Stay there. We’ll come to you. It’s going to be okay,” I assured her.

I handed the phone back to Mr. Thompson and gave him a reassuring smile. “Let’s get you to that fountain.”
As we started our way through the crowded mall, I took the handles of Mr. Thompson’s wheelchair, navigating through the sea of people. Along the way, I tried to make small talk to keep him calm. “So, Mr. Thompson, how often do you come to the mall?”
He chuckled softly. “Not very often, Jamie. This was supposed to be a special outing with Emily. We were going to have lunch and maybe do some shopping. My wife and I used to come here all the time before she passed.”

“I’m sorry to hear about your wife,” I said, glancing down at him. “She must have been a wonderful person.”
“She was,” he nodded, his eyes misting over. “We were married for fifty years. She was my rock. Emily reminds me so much of her. Kind, thoughtful, always putting others first. Just like you, Jamie.”
I felt a lump in my throat. “Thank you, Mr. Thompson. That means a lot.”

As we continued walking, Mr. Thompson told me more about his life. He shared stories of his late wife, their travels, and how proud he was of Emily. It was clear how much he adored her.
Listening to him, I felt a profound sense of connection and gratitude. Here was a man who had lived a full life, and his stories were a reminder of the importance of family and kindness.
We finally reached the fountain, and I saw Emily scanning the crowd frantically. The moment she spotted us, her face lit up, and she ran towards us.

“Gramps!” she shouted, tears streaming down her face.
Mr. Thompson’s face broke into a smile, and I could see the relief washing over him. “Emily, thank goodness.”
They hugged tightly, and for a moment, I just stood there, feeling like I was witnessing something truly special.
Emily turned to me, tears in her eyes. “Thank you so much, Jamie. I don’t know what we would have done without you.”
I shrugged, feeling a bit embarrassed by the attention. “I’m just glad I could help.”

As she spoke, I couldn’t help but notice how Emily’s eyes sparkled with gratitude. Her smile was warm and genuine, and there was an undeniable connection between us.
We exchanged a look that felt like we had known each other for years, not just a few minutes. It was one of those rare moments where you feel an instant bond with someone.
Just then, Mr. Hughes appeared, having followed us to see how things turned out. He looked a bit sheepish.

“Jamie, I owe you an apology. I shouldn’t have been so quick to dismiss Mr. Thompson. You handled the situation wonderfully. Thank you for stepping in.”
I nodded, feeling a sense of pride. “Thanks, Mr. Hughes. I’m just glad everything worked out.”
Mr. Thompson looked up at me, his eyes filled with gratitude. “Jamie, you’ve done more than you know. Thank you for your kindness.”
As Emily and Mr. Thompson left the mall, I watched them go, feeling a deep sense of fulfillment. It wasn’t every day that you made such a difference in someone’s life.

A few days later, I found myself thinking about Emily and the connection we had during that brief interaction. Gathering my courage, I decided to call her and check in on Mr. Thompson.
“Umm… Hi, Emily. It’s Jamie from the food court. I just wanted to see how your grandfather is doing.”
“Oh, hi, Jamie! Gramps is doing great, thanks to you. He hasn’t stopped talking about how you saved the day,” she replied, her voice warm and friendly.

We ended up talking for hours, sharing stories and laughter. The conversation flowed easily, and I felt a growing connection with her. After a while, I plucked up the courage and asked, “Emily, would you like to grab a coffee sometime? I’d love to hear more about you and your grandfather.”
She sounded delighted. “I’d love that, Jamie. How about this weekend?”
“Works for me,” I replied before hanging up the call.

On our first date, we went to a cozy little café near the mall. The place was perfect, with soft music playing in the background and the aroma of fresh coffee filling the air.
As we sat there, sipping our drinks, Emily smiled and said, “I can’t believe how we met. It feels like fate, doesn’t it?”
I nodded, feeling a warmth spread through me. “It really does. I’m so glad we found each other.”
Luckily, our coffee date turned into many more dates. We found ourselves sharing more about our lives, dreams, and pasts.

Over time, our bond grew stronger. We spent countless hours together, exploring the city, laughing over silly jokes, and sharing quiet moments.
Emily was everything I could have hoped for; she was kind, caring, and full of life. I cherished every moment we spent together.
One evening, after a particularly wonderful day out, I turned to Emily and said, “You know, meeting you and your grandfather has been one of the best things that ever happened to me.”

She took my hand, her eyes glistening. “Me too, Jamie. That day at the mall brought us together, and I’m so grateful for it.”
I squeezed her hand, a smile tugging at my lips. “It’s incredible how one small act can change everything. I never expected that moment to lead to this.”
Her eyes sparkled with emotion. “Exactly. It just shows the power of a little kindness.”
Mr. Thompson’s need for help that day not only reunited him with his granddaughter but also brought Emily and me together. It was a powerful reminder that kindness can spark unexpected connections, forever changing lives.
