After many breakups, Lars Ulrich has finally found happiness in his new marriage to a woman 20 years his junior. Who is she?
Jessica Miller, aged 39, known for her previous relationship with SYSTEM OF A DOWN guitarist Daron Malakian, has stepped into the limelight to share insights into her bond with METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich, describing him as “the nicest guy” and her “best friend”.
A professional model with appearances on various international editions of Vogue magazine, as well as campaigns for brands like Gap, H&M, and Chanel, Jessica revealed details about her relationship with Ulrich during an episode of “One Life One Chance,” hosted by Toby Morse, lead singer of H2O.
Reflecting on their initial connection, Jessica recounted how they had frequently crossed paths at shows and parties while accompanying their respective former partners. It wasn’t until they found themselves both single that they began to see each other differently. Despite her initial perception of Ulrich as a kind and friendly individual, she admitted to never considering him romantically until circumstances aligned, leading to their blossoming relationship.
Addressing the challenges of being in a relationship with a musician, particularly one as globally renowned as Ulrich, Jessica acknowledged the potential difficulties, particularly for those unaccustomed to the lifestyle of constant travel. However, having spent years navigating the demands of her own profession, she found compatibility in their shared passion for music and embraced the opportunity to accompany Ulrich on his journeys.
Beyond her career in modeling, Jessica has emerged as an advocate for animal rights, catalyzed by her experience of adopting four kittens. This newfound compassion led her to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle and volunteer at a local cat shelter, eventually transitioning to a vegan diet after learning about the treatment of animals in the dairy and egg industries.
Ulrich, 59, and Miller became engaged in July 2013 before tying the knot two years later. This marks the third marriage for Ulrich, previously married to Debbie Jones and Skylar Satenstein, with whom he shares sons Myles and Layne, and Danish actress Connie Nielsen, with whom he has a son named Bryce.
Celebrating Jessica’s 39th birthday in February, Ulrich took to Instagram to express his love and admiration for her, highlighting her positive energy and infectious spirit, affirming their bond as they embark on another journey around the sun together.
In essence, Jessica Miller’s revelations offer a glimpse into the personal life of one of rock’s most iconic figures, showcasing the depth of connection and shared values that underpin their enduring relationship.
