Inside Mick Jagger's Relationship With Ex Marsha Hunt

However, Marsha Hunt's firmness in her values only made Mick Jagger want her more. With Mick Jagger being Mick Jagger, the model eventually fell for him, too, and per Rocks Off Mag, his "awkward and shy nature" was key to winning her over. The two then embarked on a secret nine-month long affair, (via Classic Rock & Culture). Marsha gave birth to their child, Karis Jagger, in November 1970. But it always remained important to Marsha that she maintained her own identity. 

As Jagger fans may recall, at the time, Mick was still involved with particular, Marianne Faithfull. It's reported that Hunt adamantly stated, "I never wanted to be known as Mick Jagger's girlfriend." Mick and Jagger's initial plan was to raise their daughter together, but live apart. Plus, at the time of Karis's birth, Mick had already begun his next affair, with soon-to-be first wife Bianca Jagger.

Marsha then became desperate for financial support. Despite Mick's considerable wealth, he only gave Hunt a little over $200  to raise their daughter. Eventually, Marsha was forced to file a paternity suit against Mick, lowering her social status considerably. She went from "the girl from 'Hair'" to "the girl who sued Mick Jagger," she'd later say.

Finally, in 1977, Mick agreed to pay support for Karis on an annual basis and set up a trust fund for her. The two reunited on at least one occasion in 1990, for Karis's wedding, at which time Mick walked his daughter down the aisle.
