All he needs is love -- and he's got it!
Paul McCartney is engaged to marry love Nancy Shevell, his rep confirms to Us Weekly. "It's true!"
The Beatles rocker, 68, proposed to NYC businesswoman Shevell, 51, last weekend "during a romantic candlelit dinner for two," the insider notes -- but Shevell didn't wear her new ring when she hit the red carpet at Monday's massive Met Gala event in NYC. Still, the source says, "they are telling friends" about their happy news.

It will be the third marriage for McCartney. His first wife, Linda, died of cancer at age 56 in 1998; the spouses of 30 years had three children together. The "Let It Be" singer's second 2002 marriage to Heather Mills ended with a messy, expensive 2008 divorce .

He and Shevell began dating in the Hamptons in 2007, while he and Mills were already estranged.
What designer did Shevell wear to Monday's Met bash? Stella McCartney, naturally!
















Tell Us What You Think
9The ONLY difference between Mills and Nancy Shevell is that Nancyâ??s family made millions from the bloodâ??s sweat and tears of the working poor here and didnâ??t have to marry it. Her family sucked the life force out of working stiffs and paid them crap wages to make their fortune! Paulâ??s fiancé might be from a wealthy family but she has done EVERYTHING in her position at the MTA to rid NYC subway riders of decent fairs! AND she has gone out of her way to vote for job cuts in mass. They want to raise the profits for the execs (her and her friends) and reduce the outflow of cash for staff at our stations. In NY'ers minds she and all the rest of the MTA are blood sucking parasites. She voted to do away with the All Day Metro Card (US$7) and force tourists to pay US$2.50 per ride now instead - and many walk instead of using our fabulous metro/bus systems. She has also voted to implement a MasterCard Metro card instead of a Tap Card like other big cities. This would deny Tourists and the poor/Homeless to get a pass card -- under the 9/11 Patriot Act a MasterCard can not be mailed to a business or shelter or bought at a machine. Ask most NY'ers and she isn't a nice person! She has already consulted with some of the best lawyers in NY about protecting her own fortune â?¦ and her close knit circle of female divorcée friends have all gone for jugulars in their own messy divorces! We NYâ??ers laugh and say -- he loves to give his money away! Odd, Mills looked like Linda and Nancy looks like Stella! He seems to have a type at least if nothing else Shevell may have a 6 figure a year job at her fatherâ??s business, but what she is missing is a social conscious that Paul McCartney is famous for. Many NYâ??ers are wondering what she did with her tons of fur coats and leather outfits she wore before dating Paul. She wasnâ??t always a vegetarian let alone a Vegan! Many suspect she is doing what all NY socialites do - look for the richest sucker around and stick it out for a couple of years and then Bam! Hit them as hard as they can while they she is still young enough to enjoy the pay out! She isn't a MILLIONAIRE from working; she was paid MILLIONS in her divorce. Also, her father has a business worth millions - she earned 6 figures a year at the NY Bus/Subway company because she was instrumental in cutting jobs for the working poor to give Execs raises and huge bonuses The MTA is our subway and bus company that keeps NY moving. Her photo is of her when she was MUCH younger on the MTA official site
I love Paul! He deserves this, she seems very nice.
Good for him! He's not afraid of love or marriage, after all he's been through, both with losing Linda and his divorce. I guess this is one optimistic man!
He deserves to be happy..congrats to them both!
Do some research on Nancy Shevell. She actually has a lot of her own money and doesn't need to dig for anyone else's.
Happy for him, Lord hope he has a good prenup. That last marriage was pretty costly.
I'm happy for them, but he better get a rock-solid prenup after that last one.
Let's hope he gets a prenup this time around.
Congratulations to Sir Paul, he deserves all the happiness in the world. His girl seems classy and nice, good for them.
