Jerry Hall: I Wore a Wedding Dress Daily Until Mick Jagger Agreed to Marry

Jerry Hall has disclosed that she wore a wedding dress every day until her former husband, Mick Jagger, agreed to marry her. The revelation came during an episode of the reality television program 'The Celebrity Traitors,' where Hall, 70, shared insights into her lengthy relationship with the Rolling Stones musician.

The couple, who were together from 1977 to 1999, had an unofficial marriage ceremony in Bali in 1990. However, this ceremony was later deemed void by the UK High Court following their separation. Hall explained that before their wedding, she and Jagger had already been together for seven years and had two children. "I put on a wedding dress every day until he agreed that we get married," she told viewers.

Jagger and Hall share four children: Elizabeth, James, Georgia, and Gabriel. They met in 1976, and their relationship ended with a legal dispute over the validity of their 1990 Bali wedding after Hall filed for divorce in 1999. Her split from Jagger reportedly resulted in a settlement of up to $22 million.

Hall, originally from Texas, believed their marriage was valid and anticipated official divorce proceedings. However, a UK High Court judge declared the ceremony invalid under both British and Indonesian law, nullifying the marriage.

Despite the complexities of their past, Hall maintains a friendly relationship with Jagger, describing him as "a lot of fun and a great dad," largely due to their shared children. In previous interviews, Hall has spoken candidly about Jagger's alleged infidelity during their relationship. In a 2005 interview with the Evening Standard, she stated she had forgiven his behavior repeatedly, to an unhealthy extent. She admitted that while Jagger was not a great husband, she had still loved him, but the relationship had left her unhappy and depressed.

In 2008, Hall expressed in an interview with Psychologies magazine that she would not want her daughters to date someone like Jagger, believing they possessed more confidence and stronger boundaries than she did at their age. She reflected that her mistake was consistently hoping he would change, recognizing that people only transform if they genuinely desire to. Hall concluded that she likely stayed with Jagger longer than she should have, emphasizing that despite other women, their love for each other was real.
