Karis was conceived after Mick met  American actress, singer, songwriter Marsha Hunt. Marsha was invited to collaborate with Rolling Stones for a  Rolling Stones advertisement for the song  “ Honky Tonk Woman.” Despite her refusals, she joined them, and that’s when she met Mick Jagger, leading to a ten-month affair.

If you have ever heard Rolling Stones controversial hit song, ‘Brown Sugar,’ you will know that it’s all about Mick’s passionate relationship with Marsha Hunt.

Due to numerous social reasons, their relationship was primarily private, and Marsha was soon pregnant with their child. Karis Hunt Jagger was born on November 4, 1970, in New York City. She was born in the city of London, England, in the United Kingdom. 

Mick and Marsha intended to have Karis but had no wish to live together. Marsha was married, and Mick felt that he did not love her enough to spend the rest of his life with her.

Mick and Marsha separated in 1970, and Mick denied being the father. In 1973, when Karis was two years old, her mother, Marsha Hunt, went to court in New York and filed an affiliation order against Mick. The matter was finally resolved out of court. 

Despite denying paternity claims, Mick Jagger established a trust fund for his daughter Karis, paying $17 a week for her support until she turned 21.
