Bianca Jagger and Mick Jagger's relationship

Bianca Jagger and Mick Jagger’s relationship emerges in the diaries not as a settled account of intimacy but as a series of socially charged encounters, observed and interpreted by those around them. Bianca’s efforts to reconnect with Mick play out alongside his relationship with Jerry Hall, making jealousy, flirtation, and uncertainty part of the visible dynamic.

Reopening Contact

At a New Year’s Eve party at Woody Allen’s house, Mick arrived with Jerry. Bianca went over and spoke with him for about half an hour, breaking the ice between them. The diary presents her as wanting to make Jerry nervous, and records that she succeeded. The encounter therefore combines an apparent attempt at cordiality with a competitive edge: Bianca approached Mick directly, while Jerry’s presence gave the exchange its tension.

Flirtation at Dinner

At a dinner given by Mica Ertegun, Jerry was out of town and Mick was present. The narrator saw Bianca and Mick acting as though they were courting: they stayed together, flirted, and Bianca touched him. Bianca had arranged for John Samuels to be invited afterward, apparently to make Mick jealous; when Samuels called from the house, however, she told him not to come because Mick was there and his arrival would make the situation complicated. Her choice to keep Mick’s company took precedence over the jealousy-provoking plan.

The Limousine and Its Explanation

After dinner, Bob Colacello became ill from drinking at Halston’s house, and Bianca offered to take him home. When the others went to check on the limousine, they saw the chauffeur emerge from its rear compartment, followed shortly afterward by Bianca, who appeared dazed. The people present did not know what had happened, and the diary records their uncertainty rather than establishing an explanation.

Weeks later, Bianca raised the episode herself. She told Bob that she had passed out after Mick gave her three vodkas at the Erteguns’ house; seeing Mick had excited her, and she attributed her blackout to the drinks. She said the chauffeur had been trying to wake her after she dropped Bob off. Her account answered the immediate question about the limousine, while leaving the diary’s earlier uncertainty visible as part of the relationship’s social afterlife: the incident had been witnessed, discussed, and then revisited by Bianca.

Jealousy and Comparison

Bianca said she was not jealous of Jerry, explaining that she understood Mick and Jerry to be involved in a particular kind of relationship. She identified Carly Simon, rather than Jerry, as the only one of Mick’s girlfriends who had made her jealous. Bianca described Carly as intelligent and as having the look Mick liked, adding that Carly resembled both Mick and Bianca. This comparison makes the diary’s account more complicated than a simple rivalry: Bianca denied jealousy toward Jerry while naming a different woman as a genuine point of comparison. Across the episodes, her relationship with Mick appears in gestures and social maneuvering, but the record does not resolve what either of them privately intended.
