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.

Nancy has her own money..and lots of it..she is down to earth and I wish them the best.

By Paul

Why would he get married? He is almost ready to drop dead at 68 years old. His music is not relevant anymore, he should retire to the rest home.

Not a good idea since the last mariage cost too much money and energy. If Sir Paul has to go through with it well I hope this time he has his girlfriend sign a prenuptial agreement at least.

They said he can't read, that is why he never has pre-nups.

he looks absolutely old and decrepate, they just want him for his money and he is so dumb, most old old men like that are, they think they woman really want them, ha ha

Hasn't anyone shown Paul the video of his flame texting,while ignoring the pleads from handicapped people, not to cut their bus services? It's cold, sickening and revolting.

Of course she has her own money. That's why she's 51 and looks 35. Probably lives a very pampered life. But she looks like a nice woman. I've seen photos of her before and read a couple of articles about her and she seems very down to earth, grounded. Congratulations. Hope it works out.

I do also, but read my post,2 above yours.

Stella will be mean to her and run her off. She was mean to Heather.
