Heather Mills Ex-Husband: Who Is Paul McCartney?

Heather Mills met McCartney at the Dorchester Hotel during the Pride of Britain Awards event on May 20, 1999, which McCartney had attended to present an award to animal rights activists.

Mills and McCartney were married on June 11, 2002, four years after his first wife, Linda had died of breast cancer. The McCartney-Mills wedding was an elaborate ceremony at Castle Leslie, in the village of Glaslough in County Monaghan, Ireland.

In 2003, McCartney played a concert in Red Square, Russia. Vladimir Putin gave the couple a tour of the Kremlin. McCartney later said that Mills’s contribution was giving him an acrylic fingernail to protect a finger on his left hand that often bled after playing the guitar.

After some time apart, Mills and McCartney separated on May 17, 2006. In November 2007, Mills gave several interviews, saying that the breakdown of the marriage was caused by her husband’s daughter, Stella, who she described as jealous and evil.

Their divorce was granted on May 12, and the preliminary divorce decree was finalised six weeks later.
