Bianca Jagger and Mick Jagger's marriage and divorce dispute

The Andy Warhol Diaries

Bianca Jagger and Mick Jagger's marriage and divorce dispute appears as both a legal contest and a source of personal strain. The diary records opposing plans to pursue the divorce in London or France, with the choice of jurisdiction linked to a document Bianca had signed, while a separate account shows their disagreements extending to Jade and the possibility of having more children.

Divorce and the choice of jurisdiction

The dispute over divorce proceedings centered on where they should take place. Steve Rubell said Bianca should hire Roy Cohn and sue Mick for everything, but described the situation as complicated: Bianca wanted the divorce in London, while Mick wanted it in France. The diary connects Mick's preferred venue to a paper Bianca had signed in France stating that she would receive nothing in a divorce settlement. The choice of location therefore carried an immediate financial stake, not merely a procedural one.

Conflict over Jade and having more children

During a trip to London, Bianca was unhappy after Mick called and the two argued about Jade. Mick said he could have more children and Bianca could not; she took offense and insisted that she could. Their disagreement made the question of future children part of an already strained relationship. The diary also observes that they used Jade as a prop, suggesting that their child was drawn into the adults' tensions rather than remaining outside them.

A relationship under strain

The London account presents Bianca and Mick as making each other unhappy, with the argument over Jade and children folded into the wider conflict of their marriage. The divorce discussion adds a concrete legal and financial dimension to that strain: each wanted a different country for the proceedings, and the French document gave the choice particular consequence. The record does not say how the divorce was resolved; it leaves the dispute at the point where personal grievances, family questions, and settlement terms remained entangled.
