The Rock n’ Roll Love Life of the Legendary Mick Jagger

His age: Early 20s
Duration: circa 1961–1962

Before the Rolling Stones hit superstardom, Mick Jagger briefly dated Cleo Sylvestre, a rising British actress and singer. They connected in London’s early ’60s cultural scene, when Mick was still balancing life between the London School of Economics and his musical ambitions.

Cleo later recalled Mick as polite and charming, a far cry from the swaggering rock star he would soon become. Their romance wasn’t built for the chaos of fame, but it marked one of Jagger’s earliest brushes with the entertainment world offstage.
