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

Jerry Hall, the former model and actress, has shared that she wore a wedding dress every day until her ex-husband Mick Jagger agreed to marry her. Hall made the revelation during an episode of the reality television program 'The Celebrity Traitors,' offering a glimpse into her long-term relationship with the Rolling Stones singer.

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 split. Hall explained that before the Bali ceremony, after seven years together and with two children, she resorted to wearing a wedding dress daily until Jagger agreed to the marriage.

Hall and Jagger, who share four children—Elizabeth, James, Georgia, and Gabriel—were together for 22 years. They met in 1976. The legal status of their 1990 Bali wedding became a point of contention after Hall filed for divorce in 1999. She reportedly received a settlement of up to $22 million.

Initially believing the Bali ceremony was legally valid and that official divorce proceedings would be necessary, Hall was surprised when a UK High Court judge declared the marriage null and void, as it was not recognized under British or Indonesian law.

Despite the tumultuous nature of their relationship, Hall stated that she and Jagger remain on good terms, largely due to their shared children. She described him as "a lot of fun and a great dad."

In past interviews, Hall has spoken candidly about Jagger's alleged infidelity during their relationship. In a 2005 interview with the Evening Standard, she admitted to repeatedly forgiving his transgressions to a point she deemed unhealthy. "Sure, he wasn't a great husband, and I could gripe and grouse, but I think that's old hat," she said at the time. She also confessed to still loving Jagger but expressed that the relationship had made her deeply unhappy and depressed, impacting her self-esteem.

By 2008, Hall indicated she would not want her daughters to date someone like Jagger, believing they possessed greater confidence and stronger boundaries than she did at that age. Reflecting on her own experience, she acknowledged staying with Jagger longer than she should have, attributing it to a misplaced hope that he would change. "People don't change, unless they really want to, and you can't make them," she stated. She concluded that while she and Jagger did love each other, his affairs had caused significant personal distress.
