Bianca met Mick at an after-party after a Rolling Stones concert in France in 1970. The legendary frontman, who earned press reputation for his romantic involvements, and was frequently described as a countercultural figure, immediately fell for Bianca. He then invited her to their show in Italy.

The pair started dating shortly after, and while she was four months pregnant, they got married on May 12, 1971, in a Roman Catholic ceremony in Saint-Tropez, France. Here's more about Bianca and her life with the famous rocker.

THEIR MARRIED LIFE

The couple’s intimate wedding came as quite a surprise to guests, who only knew of the event a day prior. Only 75 people were in attendance, including Paul McCartney, Julie Christie, and Keith Richards.

On October 21, 1971, the couple's only child, a daughter named Jade, was born in Paris, France. Jade started her career as an artist in the late 1980s. On the grounds of Mick's infidelity with Hall, Bianca filed for divorce in May 1978. She later stated, "My marriage ended on my wedding day."
