"Mick has been in a pretty dark place lately," said an insider. "But he's not the type to linger there – it's one of the secrets to his success."
That's why he's trying to remind himself about how lucky he is to have found Hamrick, who's the love of his life, the insider confirmed.
"He's desperate to find something happy to focus on and his relationship with Melanie is what brings him the most joy," said the source.
"Everyone assumed they would be married by now, but he's put it off, mainly out of fear that it might change things. But now he's saying he's done with all that nonsense and ready to marry her, the sooner the better."
