Paul McCartney Declines Prenup

After his long and bitter divorce battle with ex-wife Heather Mills, many believed that Paul McCartney would never marry again.

It appears that the former Beatle is a romantic at heart after the 68-year-old Brit announced his engagement to Nancy Shevell, 51, a businesswoman from New York. The two have been dating quietly for the past four years. McCartney surprised Shevell with a vintage 1925 solitaire diamond engagement ring from Cartier this week; it is believed to be worth $650,000. To top it all off, McCartney has reportedly turned down a prenuptial agreement as well.

This could be due to McCartney's belief that Shevell has more in common with his first wife, Linda, who died of breast cancer at age 56. The threat of a prolonged legal battle may not feel as imminent with Shevell as it was with Mills. According to Rob Shuter of Popeater, "She is with him for all the right reasons."

Considering a prenup? Now is the time to speak with a family lawyer.
