Mick Jagger Girlfriend: 27-Year-Old Melanie Hamrick Dating Rolling Stones Singer Three Months After L’Wren Scott Death? [VIDEO]
Mick Jagger is known for his dating women younger than himself and his new rumored girlfriend Melanie Hamrick is no exception. The Rolling Stones singer has been seen cozying up with Hamrick, a 27-year-old American ballet dancer recently.
L'Wren Scott's Funeral Moved To Los Angeles
Jagger reportedly met Hamrick in March, three weeks before his very longtime girlfriend fashion designer L'Wren Scott killed herself. Hamrick and Jagger were reportedly introduced in Tokyo when the Rolling Stones were performing in February 2014.
According to The Sun, the new couple didn't hook up until after Scott's death. "After her death, Melanie reached out and they met in New York as friends," a source said. "There was a spark there and she provided a distraction to the emotional hell he was going through."
Hamrick originally hails from Virginia and is part of the esteemed American Ballet Theatre company in New York. Hamrick was engaged to Cuban classical dancer José Manuel Carreño.
Celebrities React To L'Wren Scott's Death
Hamrick has now been seen with Jagger all over the world. The 70-year-old invited his new squeeze to Zurich to hang with The Rolling Stones and that's when things "became intimate between them." Jagger's friends are reportedly very supportive of the new relationship because of all the pain he's been going through.
According to The NY Daily News, however, one person isn't as supportive and that's Scott's sister. "My sister deserves so much more respect than that," Scott's sister Jan Shane told the Daily News. "It hasn't even been three months. I now believe that he was a bigger part of her troubles that no one knew about."
"I am so hurt to know that she was so sad," Shane added, "and hurting inside and felt that she had nowhere to go."
