Mary McCartney’s Book Launch
Since then, Paul and Nancy have been seen out and about doing any number of fun activities…
Going out for a walk
Riding bikes in the Hamptons
Having fun at the beach in Antigua
Waving to the paps
Enjoying a quiet romantic dinner over candlelight
Taking a road trip across the USA and down Rte 66
Taking in a Yankees game ….
….. and stealing a kiss behind home plate.
Playing with Paul’s daughter Bea
Taking fun photos of each other in the park
Traveling to Paris
Seeing a daughter’s fashion show
Getting cozy on a boat
Hanging out with Sting
Carrying their own bags
Sitting in the car with John Hamel
and just being in love….
By August 2008, Paul and Nancy were ready to become a public item. They took a very public , leisurely stroll around Paul’s St John’s Wood neighborhood, and allowed the paps to get these lovely photos.
Paul and Nancy started quietly seeing each other in 2007, just around the time she separated from her husband Bruce.
When in public, they stayed apart so the paps couldn’t get photos of them together.
But the jug was up when they were caught kissing after having lunch at a little restaurant in the Hamptons.
Nancy’s home in the Hamptons
Paul’s home in the Hamptons
The McCartneys and the Blakemans knew each other as neighbors as they summered in the Hamptons.
Nancy was friendly with Linda, and Linda’s kids referred to Nancy as Jackie O because she always looked so glamorous to them.
Apparently, when Paul was dating Heather, he introduced her to Nancy. Heather was rude to Nancy, and Nancy advised Paul against marrying her- which caused a rift in the friendship between Paul and Nancy.
However, they ran into each other again at a party as Paul was going through his divorce with Heather, and started to quietly spend time with each other.
