When Nancy Shevell McCartney was inducted into the W. P. Carey Alumni Hall of Fame at Arizona State University last month, she brought along her spouse — who is pretty famous in his own right.

Paul McCartney — Sir Paul, in the U.K. — attended festivities on the Tempe campus in support of his wife, watching her induction ceremony, mingling with faculty and staff, taking selfies with students and even throwing a pitchfork for the camera.

McCartney, 82, one of the greatest pop songwriters and musicians of all time and a member of the Beatles, is still busy. In the past few years, he’s released three albums and three books and performed several concerts. In October, the U.K. debuted a new 5-pound coin celebrating his career, with King Charles on the flip side.

McCartney married Nancy Shevell in 2011, the year he released the single “My Valentine.” In an episode of his podcast, he revealed that he wrote the song in 2007 just after he and Shevell took their first vacation together.

At that point, Shevell was a prominent business leader in the transportation and real estate industries. She was a member of the board of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority from 2001 to 2011 and was vice president of a family-owned transportation conglomerate.

In her remarks at the W. P. Carey ceremony in November, she remembered being the only woman who graduated in her degree program in 1981.
