Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell: A Third Marriage That Sticks
On June 18, Paul McCartney celebrated his 84th birthday and has been happily married to Nancy Shevell for 15 years. The couple exchanged vows in 2011 at the Old Marylebone Town Hall in London, where Shevell donned an ivory gown crafted by her stepdaughter Stella McCartney, drawing inspiration from Wallis Simpson's wedding attire from 1937. Their romance began in 2007 at their homes in the Hamptons. Despite a 17-year age difference, they quickly connected, enjoying a trip to Antigua following McCartney's divorce from Heather Mills and taking a road trip across the United States. Shevell, a cancer survivor and businesswoman from New York, keeps their marriage largely private. Ringo Starr was present at the wedding, where McCartney honored John Lennon, who would have turned 71 that day.
