Melanie Hamrick had initially brushed off her ring as a promise ring but has now revealed that she is engaged to Mick Jagger

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Mick Jagger's girlfriend Melanie Hamrick was seen wearing a sparkling ring on her finger, leading to speculation about their relationship status. Although Melanie initially referred to the ring as a promise ring, sources now claim that she and Mick are engaged. Close friends of the couple have revealed that Melanie recently acknowledged being Mick's fiancee during a trip to New York.

"Melanie was at the American Ballet Theatre and she was telling her friends she was engaged to Mick," a source told The Mirror. "She was very clear her ring is an ­engagement ring and she is now his fiancee. Her family also very much understand them to be engaged and are thrilled. There are no plans for a wedding, but it means a lot to Melanie to be engaged – that is what she has been saying. All her friends are happy for her."

Melanie had previously dismissed engagement rumors

Melanie, who has been in a relationship with Mick for nine years, had previously dismissed rumors of engagement. However, when questioned about the ring she was seen wearing in November, she confirmed that Mick had given it to her and playfully. "I have to giggle because did Mick give me the ring? Yes. Is it for that finger? Yes. But are we like, horny teenagers where we're giving each other... In my mind, it's a promise ring. We'll be immature and call it a promise ring," she said.

'Jurassic legend and young babe'

Fans, however, are poking fun at the couple due to their significant age difference. One user commented on Facebook, "I wonder what a 36 year old woman sees in half billionaire Mick Jagger!!?" while another wrote, "There is always the age old thing! Older men and young women.Good on Mick he can Still pull and god bless him for it he's a lucky man But one wonders if she sees his wrinkles and realises he's been in the same position lots of times. And one wonders if he is realising he has a few years left and wants to round it up and make it good.Best of luck to both of them!" A third mocked, saying, "After De Niro, Pacino, well, it seems it's quite getting popular... Jurassic legend and young babe."

"Think she would still be with him if he was flipping burgers at McDonald's. He is worth $500 million," said a fourth, while a fifth added, "His so old,I suppose he is a sugar daddy." Meanwhile, others seemed to be happy for the couple. One wrote, "Good for him!" while another wrote, "It's true love." A third said, "Good on ya Mick."
