Mick Jagger’s girlfriend Melanie Hamrick has revealed that their son Deveraux has an ‘amazing’ singing voice.
The former ballet dancer and author, 37, told how the seven-year-old she shares with the Rolling Stones rocker, 81, could be lining up for a musical future just like his famous dad.
However she admitted she would never want to be a pushy ‘stage parent’ with her child.
She told Hello! Magazine: ‘When my son was little, we would do the hokey cokey occasionally but now he will be like, ‘Mom it’s not cool’. How is he a teenager already?’ – she says she loves seeing his talents grow.
‘I can’t wait to see what he does. But I don’t want to put pressure on him as between Mick and I, that’s a lot of pressure.

‘When I hear him sing in school shows I say things like ‘Oh my God, his singing voice was amazing, did everyone hear that?’ And then I think ‘Melanie let him be a kid! Don’t be a stage parent!’
In December 2016, Melanie gave birth to their son Deveraux ‘Devi’ Jagger. It was her first child and Mick’s eight.
Sir Mick has eight children and is father to Karis, 53 (by Marsha Hunt); Jade, 52 (by Bianca Jagger); Lizzie, 40, James, 38, Georgia May, 32, and Gabriel, 26 (by Jerry Hall); Lucas, 24 by (Luciana Gimenez Morad) and Deveraux.
It comes after she Melanie revealed what Mick really thinks about her very racy romance novels.
The author has written her second ballet-based romance novel and admitted that she finds sex scenes the ‘easiest’ part of her stories to write.
Melanie released her first book First Position last year – described as a ‘ballet bonkbuster’ – while her second is named The Unraveling.
Speaking to The Times and listing the vocabulary she uses for sexy scenes she said: ‘Thrusting, throbbing, pulsating. Just go to the thesaurus. That’s what Mick said – he’s, like, ‘Throbbing was used a lot in book two.”
The ex dancer and choreographer added that it was Mick himself who encouraged her to start writing books in the first place.

Melanie explained: ‘I was, like, ‘I want to write a book. I want to write a book.’ And then, finally, he said, ‘Oh my God, write the book!’ ‘
She is a former ballerina at the American Ballet Theatre, from which she retired in 2019 after fifteen years.
She added of writing sex scenes: ‘It’s like choreographing a dance. It’s a movement and I’m writing movements down.’
In the interview she also opened up about their large age gap saying that she simply ‘doesn’t think about it’ and accepts that everyone is going to have their opinion and as long as she isn’t hurting anyone it is fine.
It comes after Melanie shared a sweet birthday tribute for his 81st birthday earlier this summer.
The former ballet dancer posted a slew of gorgeous family snaps to celebrate the singer’s special day, posing alongside their son.
‘Happy Birthday babe !! We love you ❤️,’ she captioned her latest Instagram post.
One shot captured the smitten couple posing for a mirror selfie as both sported elegant outfits, with Mick gently posing a hand on Melanie’s waist.

It was followed by a heart-melting snap of Mick holding his son’s hand behind the scenes ahead of a stage entrance.
