After enduring a stormy divorce, Sir Paul McCartney''s romantic life finally appears to be sailing along quiet smoothly.


The former Beatle took to the water with millionaire New York socialite Nancy Shevell this week, the affectionate pair sharing a tender kiss as the cruised along off the coast of New York's Long Island.

The singer's modest Sunfish dinghy, named after his first wife Linda, has long been his treasure.

He has said: 'It's my antidote to chaos. I like the freedom, the peace.'

McCartney, 65, and Shevell, 47, have been seeing each other with increasingly regularity since last November.

The pair enjoyed a romantic trip to Antigua in April and a road trip across seven US states last month.

However reports that McCartney is planning soon to make Miss Shevell his third wife are believed to be wide of the mark.

His adult children Stella, Mary and James are said to be completely against the idea of their father marrying for a very long time after the hell he went through divorcing his last wife, Heather Mills.

And Miss Shevell, whose family has a £315million transport firm, is still to finalise her divorce from her politician husband of 23 years, Bruce Blakeman.
