Mick Jagger's exes Jerry Hall and Bianca Jagger prove their friendship is still going strong as they pose at Burberry's Chelsea Flower Show event
Mick Jagger 's exes Jerry Hall and Bianca Jagger proved their friendship is still going strong as they posed together at an event. The pair were both in attendance at Burberry 's RHS Chelsea Flower Show bash on Tuesday night in London. Bianca was married to Rolling Stones rocker Mick, 81, from 1971–1978 while Jerry was his long-term partner with whom she has four children. At the party Bianca, 80, dressed appropriately in a flower patterned light blue silk co-ord. She wore her dark tresses in a bouncy blow dried look and opted for a pop of colour with a red lip. Jerry, 68, meanwhile looked great in a green flowery dress which she wore with a dark coat and glittery shades. Mick started seeing Jerry while he was still married to Bianca, whom he had his first child with, Jade. Jerry reportedly inspired the Rolling Stones' classic song Miss You. Divorcing Bianca in 1978 and then tying the knot with Jerry twelve years later in 1990, the rock legend went on to have four more children. However history soon repeated itself, and allegations of numerous Jagger infidelities helped drive the couple apart for good. Mick and Jerry split up in 1999. Mick is now in a relationship with fiancée Melanie Hamrick but last month she revealed they are in no hurry to marry. Giving an unprecedented look into her relationship with the rock star, the former ballerina, 37, also said they will move to London permanently next year so they can enrol their eight-year-old son, Deveraux, in school. Melanie confirmed she has been engaged to Jagger for two-three years in an interview with Paris Match when asked how long she has been wearing her engagement ring. And talking of marriage, she said: 'Maybe one day, maybe not. We are so happy in our current life that I would be too afraid to change anything. I don't know what to call it, maybe simply happiness.' The secret to their happiness, she claims is supporting each other and being there for each other. Melanie and Mick met in Tokyo in February 2014 when the Stones were on tour. At the time, the rock star was in a long-term relationship with fashion designer L'Wren Scott, who died by suicide in March that year. She says it wasn't love at first sight, as she quipped: 'Maybe a spark, but nothing incredible like: 'I'll make you lose your mind, and we'll travel the world!' We didn't even exchange phone numbers.' Melanie recalled that Mick was in a relationship at the time so they only spoke again five months after that, thanks to a mutual acquaintance who gave him her number. The rocker sent her a text message asking whether she'd like to have coffee together, which led to them meeting again in Zurich. Melanie recalled an early memory from childhood, saying: 'My mum would also sometimes hum "I can't get no satisfaction" when I asked for an ice cream I hadn't earned. I would reply, "stop mum, it's so boring".' Her penchant for older men preceded her relationship with the famous rock star. When she was 19, she started dating Cuban dancer José Manuel Carreño, who was 38 at the time. Melanie insisted she doesn't care what people say or think about her 44-year age gap with Mick because she's happy, healthy, and not hurting anyone.

'He's younger than me': Melanie Hamrick defends 44-year-age gap between her and fiance Mick Jagger, Entertainment News
Melanie Hamrick has defended the 44-year-age gap between her and fiance Sir Mick Jagger. The former ballerina, 37, quipped that the Rolling Stones frontman, 81, is "younger" than she is as she discussed their relationship. Melanie told Page Six: "He's younger than me. "He's amazing, he really is." The star has son Deveraux, eight, with the legendary rocker and explained that her boy has inherited his father's exuberant dance moves. She said: "It's amazing. It's natural, it's in his genes. No one taught him, no one influenced him. He moved like that before he saw any of his dad's concerts." Melanie confirmed last month that she and Jagger have been engaged for "two or three years now" but are not in a rush to get married. Speaking to the French magazine Paris Match, she shared: "Maybe one day we'll marry, maybe not. We are so happy in our current life that I would be too afraid to change anything." [[nid:449314]] The couple first met in 2014 when they were both on tour in Japan and Melanie explained that they didn't have an instant romantic connection. Asked if they had an immediate spark, she said: "Maybe a spark, but nothing incredible, like, 'Come on, I'll blow your mind and we'll travel the world'. "We didn't even exchange phone numbers. At the time, I wasn't in a relationship, but he was." The couple's relationship soon became romantic and Melanie credits the pair's "support" for each other for keeping their union going. She explained: "We try to support each other, be there for each other, and make sure everyone is happy. That's all that matters to me and all I strive for." Hamrick previously claimed that she ignores those who comment on the age gap between her and Mick. She told The Sunday Times newspaper last year: "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. I put the blinders on. Am I happy? Yes. Are the people in my life happy? Yes. Am I hurting anyone? No. Ok, they can mind their own business."

Famously, the Rolling Stones played at Oxford University in June 1964 at a Magdalen College Commemoration Ball. The event had a special interest because the Stones were nobodies when they were booked to appear, but very big stars indeed by the time of the gig 12 months later. They were obliged to interrupt a US tour and fly back to Britain to fulfil their contract, which cost them £1,500 in air fares to pick up a £100 fee.
