Jerry Hall

Jerry Hall (born July 2, 1956 in Gonzalez, Texas) is a model and actress best known for being Mick Jagger's long-time companion or wife (in the 1990s, the two were married in Bali but the legal validity of the marriage has since been questioned). Jerry began a secret affair with Jagger while still engaged to fiance Bryan Ferry. As a result, Ferry wrote many songs, such as "Kiss and Tell," and "Cry, Cry, Cry". Some believe that Ferry's album The Bride Stripped Bare was documentation of his feelings about the breakup with Hall.

In 2005, Jerry Hall starred in a new reality series on VH1 called Kept, revolving around her search for a boytoy. The 12 American contestants were asked to transform from boys to refined gentlemen through a series of challenges, and mastering skills like arts, sports, cooking, and fitting into the high society. At the series finale, Jerry had to pick between Austen Earl, who is a good-looking graduate of Brown University, and a funny-yet-crude 34 year-old unemployed contestant named Seth Frye from Boston. In the end, Seth won the coveted award of being named Hall's Kept man, although many expected Hall to choose the handsome, well-educated Austen.
