Jerry Hall has revealed she has sworn off men for good as she approaches her 70th birthday, declaring she is now happier being single following her famously tumultuous love life.
Interview Insights
In a candid interview released this week, the Texan supermodel opened up about her high-profile exes, including Sir Mick Jagger, 82, admitting she has remained "good friends" with the Rolling Stone legend despite his devastating infidelity during their 23-year relationship.
"I'm not dating at all and not planning on it," Jerry said. "Next birthday, I'll be 70, which is quite old. Definitely more summers have gone than are coming. You want to enjoy life."
She added: "I enjoy being older because you can sit in the shade and you don't have rivals. You don't have delusions. There's no women chasing my man, that's for sure, because I haven't got one. I quite enjoy that."
Reflections on Past Relationships
The fashion icon, who will star in the new series of BBC's Celebrity Traitors when it airs this autumn, elaborated: "By not being delusional, I mean, when you fall in love with someone, you're just completely delusional about everything."
Jerry struck up a romance with Mick in 1977 when she sensationally left her fiancé, Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry, now 80, for him. The couple held a Hindu wedding ceremony in Bali in 1990. She was left heartbroken when Brazilian model Luciana Gimenez gave birth to Mick's son Lucas, now 26, during their marriage following an eight-month affair. DNA tests confirmed Mick's paternity, prompting Jerry to file for divorce — only for the rock star to contest their marriage had never been legally valid.
Yet despite years of humiliation and hurt, Jerry now says she has forgiven Mick's wandering eye. Speaking on Bella Freud's Fashion Neurosis podcast, she explained: "Everyone wanted to sleep with him. He was so attractive and so talented. I could understand. He was Mick Jagger. What can you say? It was annoying, of course. But now, I think everything worked out the way it should have."
"Mick and I were together 23 years, had four children, and now we've got three grandchildren, and we're still friendly. I tend to not think about the past or bad things."
Current Life and Future Plans
She added she gets on famously with his fiancée, American former ballerina Melanie Hamrick, 38. "We had [last] Christmas together with his partner Mel, who is adorable, and our children, some of his children, and grandchildren. We all went to Mustique, it was so lovely."
After splitting from Mick, Jerry married media mogul Rupert Murdoch, 95, in 2016 before divorcing six years later. The split was reportedly sudden and painful, with the billionaire said to have informed Jerry by email that their marriage was over.
These days, Jerry spends most of her time in Oxfordshire at her sprawling Georgian estate, though she sometimes stays at Downe House on Richmond Hill in Greater London, the property Mick bought for the family in the early 1990s.
Despite swearing off romance, Jerry admitted she still finds "strong men" attractive — but insisted the days of acting on those desires are behind her.
