Hall and Jagger, the iconic frontman of The Rolling Stones, began their relationship in the early 1990s and welcomed four children: Elizabeth, 42, Georgia May, 34, James, 40, and Gabriel, 28. Their partnership was marked by both joy and turbulence, culminating in an annulment of their marriage in 1999 due to a legal oversight during their wedding ceremony.
In her candid conversation with the magazine, Hall revealed, “He comes out here quite a bit, Sunday lunch, him and Mel and their son, Deveraux Octavian Basil. They’re so sweet.” Deveraux, who was born in 2016, is Jagger’s child with his current partner, Melanie Hamrick. Hall described Jagger as being a “great diplomat” when it comes to blending the families, noting that all the children have positive relationships with one another despite their varied backgrounds.
The nurturing atmosphere of their extended family was a point of pride for Hall, who explained, “All the kids love each other. All the mothers of the kids love each other. It’s just odd, isn’t it? Just worked out that way.” The amicable dynamics establish a refreshing contrast to what many may expect from high-profile relationships that have gone through public upheavals.
Reflecting on her marriage to Jagger, Hall admitted that the annulment after 23 years felt somewhat disrespectful, yet she emphasized the importance of maintaining a friendly relationship, especially for the sake of their children. “I can only think nice things about him,” Hall declared, countering what she described as misconceptions perpetuated by the press. “When you have children with someone it’s important to be friendly,” she added, hinting that continual goodwill is necessary to ensure a harmonious family life.
Hall’s previous marriage to media mogul Rupert Murdoch, which ended in 2022, was also a point of discussion during the interview. She expressed that she has not seen Murdoch since their divorce, contrasting the cordial relationship she has with Jagger. “I haven’t seen him in a couple of years. Since the divorce,” she revealed, alluding to the difficulties that can arise in post-marital relationships.
The former couple’s journey has not been without its challenges. Their relationship was plagued by infidelities, including Jagger’s high-profile affair with French model Carla Bruni, who became pregnant during their time together. When Jagger and Hall’s annulment was finalised, the pair reached a “mutually acceptable legal and financial settlement,” easing the transition into their respective new lives.
Throughout the years, both Hall and Jagger have continued to expand their family trees. In addition to their four children, the rock star is known to have fathered four other children with previous partners, including his daughter with the late Marsha Hunt and another with Bianca Jagger, illustrating a rich lineage that Jagger continues to nurture as a grandfather.
Hall’s ability to articulate her ongoing admiration for Jagger, while also recognising the ups and downs of their shared history, presents a mature perspective on love, loss, and family. “You know, when you’re young, people get crushes on people and do stupid things all the time, don’t they?” she mused, reflecting on how far they have come since their tumultuous beginnings.
The full interview with Jerry Hall will be available in the July 2026 issue of British Vogue, hitting newsstands on June 16. As she continues to navigate her life, both personally and within the complex web of her family, Hall’s words resonate with themes of resilience, friendship, and the importance of togetherness.
