Paul McCartney Is Engaged to Nancy Shevell

By PopEater Staff Posted May 6th 2011 11:04AM

Three years after a messy divorce, Paul McCartney is giving marriage another try. The Beatles legend and his longtime girlfriend Nancy Shevell are engaged to be married.

"It's true," the bride-to-be told the Associated Press. "That's all, but thank you, have a good weekend."

McCartney's publicist Stuart Bell confirmed the news as well, but stopped short of providing any further details about the engagement, saying "we're all thrilled for him."

A source spilled the beans to PEOPLE earlier Friday. "Nancy and Paul are getting married," they said. "Ring and all -- very exciting."

McCartney, 68, and Shevell, a 51-year-old New Yorker, began dating four years ago while the singer was in the midst of his split with second wife, Heather Mills. Tabloids had a field day when they were first spotted together in the Hamptons.

A source at the time told PEOPLE that, "They have the right chemistry. They're both cool, chilled out and optimistic."

Cool and chill was a welcome change for McCartney, who lost his first wife, Linda, to cancer in 1998 at age 56, then remarried four years later to Heather Mills. That marriage, of course, ended very very badly and cost him about $48.6 million in the divorce settlement.

Well, I for one, am hopeful for him and send them good wishes. Everyone should have wonderful love relationships. It's unfortunate that he stumbled upon that nasty mess, Mills. I'm glad to see it didn't make him bitter and frightened. Those who are afraid to take chances often miss out on the good stuff in life!

To Nancy and Paul: Good luck and best wishes.

By Lori

She kind of reminds me of an older Kate Middleton --not sure why they need to get married at their ages, but just "Let It Be"...

By Linda

BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU BOTH. NOT GONNA BASH THEM AND GET DOWN ON THEM AS SOME PEOPLE ON HERE HAVE...WHY? NOT MY BUSINESS. ONLY THEIR BUSINESS. HE DESERVES TO BE HAPPY SO REALLY PEOPLE...GIVE IT A REST AND JUST SAY CONGRATS OR NOTHING IF YOU HAVE TO BE SOOO NEGATIVE. I AM SURE HE CAN FIGURE THINGS OUT ON HIS OWN AND DOES NOT NEED ANY OF US TELLING HIM HOW TO LIVE HIS LIFE. EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES WHEN THEY PICK A PARTNER...SO HE MADE A MISTAKE WITH HEATHER....HE WAS FOOLED BY HER. IT HAPPENS. GET OVER IT. CONGRATS TO PAUL AND NANCY....WHO ALSO HAS A LOT OF MONEY HERSELF. I MEAN...REALLY....NO WORRIES ON HIS BEHALF OR HERS I AM SURE.
