Stone the crows! Now Mick Jagger vows that he’s a one-woman man

First Keith Richards says he’s kicked the hard liquor...

- From Caroline Graham IN LOS ANGELES

ROLLING STONES fans were stunned last week when notorious hell-raiser Keith Richards revealed he’d finally given up the hard stuff.

But they’ll be even more shocked to learn that Mick Jagger has ended his prolific womanising.

The legendary lothario is said to have bedded 4,000 women but he has found ‘satisfacti­on’ with ballet dancer Melanie Hamrick, mother of his youngest son, Deveraux.

As Jerry Hall and a succession of other partners learned to their cost, the singer has rarely, if ever, practised monogamy. However, he has vowed to be a ‘one-woman man’ from now on.

Jagger, 75, and Ms Hamrick, 32, began dating in 2014, shortly after the tragic death of his girlfriend, fashion designer L’Wren Scott. Despite the birth of Deveraux in 2016, friends admit that Jagger continued to ‘play the field’ until recently.

A source said: ‘When Mick and Melanie started dating, he made it clear to her that it would not be exclusive. He was totally honest and upfront with her.’

Jagger was most recently linked with stunning Hollywood movie producer Noor Alfallah, 23.

The friend added: ‘Mick’s relationsh­ip with Noor went on for a couple of years and, sure, it overlapped with Melanie, but it has ended amicably. He made a commitment to Melanie when they were in Mustique over Christmas and New Year. He is devoted to Deveraux and he’s ready to commit to Melanie. He’s finally ready to settle down and be a one-woman man.’

Jagger and his lover attended a Universal Music party in Los Angeles last Sunday after the Grammy awards. A source who saw the couple said: ‘He seems very happy and content in her company. He didn’t look at another woman all night. They dote on Deveraux. This is the happiest I’ve seen him in years.’

Jagger is in LA working on new music and preparing for the Stones’ No Filter US tour, which begins in April.

Ms Hamrick is writing a ballet set to the Stones’ music which will premiere in the Russian city of St Petersburg next month.

Jagger was married to Bianca Jagger, mother of his eldest daughter Jade, between 1971 and 1978.

He later set up home with Texan model Jerry Hall, with whom he had four children. She left him after 23 years when she learned model Luciana Morad was pregnant with Jagger’s child.

Last week, Richards, revealed that he had said goodbye to drugs and spirits. ‘I’ve knocked the hard stuff on the head,’ he said.

‘He didn’t look at another woman all night’
