When Melanie Hamrick gave birth to Mick Jagger’s eight child, everyone online wanted to know more about the baby mama.

At the time, the well renowned rockstar was 73 and Hamrick, his girlfriend, was 29. Although Melanie Hamrick is hardly a household name, she does have an impressive resume of her own as a ballerina and fitness guru.

So who is Melanie Hamrick, exactly? Here’s what ENTITY knows about her.

Melanie is a dedicated and driven woman when it comes to her work. Born in Williamsburg, Virginia, she started dancing at just three years old. Then when she was 11, she left home to attend boarding school and chase her dreams of having a ballet career.

2 When she got older, she was accepted into the American Ballet Theater.

She began training at the Eastern Virginia School of the Performing Arts. Then when she turned 17, she enrolled in the American Ballet Theater’s intensive program. And thanks to her hard work, Melanie landed her first dance contract at 18 years old in a Balanchine ballet.

“I had been sheltered in this boarding school for 6 years, dancing morning until night, and suddenly I was in New York City dancing for ABT,” she told W Magazine. “I didn’t even have a debit card [and] I never even bought milk.”

In 2010, Hamrick sought out former professional ballerina Brynn Putnam to take part in the Refine Method. Putnam’s workout routine uses plyometric and strengthening exercises to get participants in shape. And according to Melanie, the Refine Method is one of the main reasons for her slim physique.

“I went everyday one summer and when I got back everyone was like, ‘Wow your legs look really good!'” she said.

4 As a professional dancer, she’s also passionate about healthy eating.

According to her interview with W Magazine, the 29-year-old ballerina strongly discourages starving yourself for the stage.

“Our work environment is already intense,” Hamrick told W Magazine. “If you make your eating intense, it’s too much, especially since you’re looking at your body all day in the mirrors.”

5 But just like any other person, she’s got her own food vices.

When she doesn’t have time for a proper meal, she’ll pick up a Kind bar, bananas or nuts. But before a performance, she’ll sometimes grab a Starburst or Jolly Rancher for one of the candy bowls left out for the dancers that want a sugar rush. Other times, she’ll even head to Rosa Mexicana for margaritas and guacamole to unwind after a show or a long day of rehearsals.

“At the end of the day my philosophy is everything in moderation,” she said.
