Later in the 70s Jerry met Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger at a dinner party in Manhattan, for whom she would eventually leave Brian Ferry. They married in an unofficial Balinese ceremony consisting largely of Hindu ritual. They later got divorced in 1999 and Jagger argued that the marriage had never been legally binding.
