Beatles legend Paul McCartney spills what the secret is to his happy marriage to Nancy Shevell
Sir Paul McCartney says his 14-year marriage to Nancy Shevell works so well because they are total opposites.
The Beatles legend tied the knot with Nancy back in May 2011, with the pair beginning their relationship in 2007 as Paul was finalizing his acrimonious divorce from second wife Heather Mills.
Paul, 83, says he and Nancy, 66, are so happy together because they are “nothing like each other” and that works well for their relationship.
Speaking on the Song Exploder podcast, he said: "We’ve known each other quite a long time and it’s a very interesting relationship. We’re nothing like each other. I’m English, she’s American. She’s very practical, gets things done, I’m much more sort of whimsical. I will get things done but maybe not in as practical a way.
“We know each other and we know how to be with each other.” Paul has dedicated the song Ripples in a Pond to Nancy from his new number one album The Boys of Dungeon Lane. McCartney was thinking about how “blessed” he is to have Nancy as his wife when the lyrics and chords began to flow.
Paul - who lost his first wife Linda to breast cancer in 1998, when the photographer was 56 - said: “I was thinking about my missus Nancy and thinking how lucky I am to know and love someone like her. “I was just thinking about how blessed I am. Anyone who is in a good relationship with someone is inevitably really blessed and it’s nice when you’re thinking that to introduce that idea into a song.”
Nancy is the perfect romantic partner for Paul, and he also revealed his greatest ever musical partner was his late Beatles bandmate John Lennon.
