Despite their 17-year age difference, the pair began dating in the Hamptons in 2007. The source added:

“They have the right chemistry. They’re both cool, chilled out and optimistic.”

Another source said McCartney proposed ”during a romantic candlelit dinner for two” last weekend. But Shevell didn’t wear her ring when the couple stepped out Monday night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This will be McCartney’s third marriage. He married Linda McCartney in 1969 and Heather Mills in 2002, which ended in a very public divorce in 2008. He has five children: Heather, 48, Mary, 41, Stella, 39, James, 33, and Beatrice, 7. Fashion designer Stella is said to be “thrilled” for her father.

Paul McCartney‘s girlfriend Nancy Shevell is officially divorced, leaving him free to propose to the New York socialite.

Ms Shevell – whose father heads the £250 million family haulage business – obtained her full divorce from Mr Blakeman last month. The divorce was made final by the US Supreme Court of the State of New York on December 9, after she had been legally separated from him for one year and sixty days.

Everyone knows that McCartney’s kids-especially designer Stella McCartney- hated ex-wife Heather Mills, but rumor has it they have given Shevell their seal of approval. It is also comforting to the family that she has become wealthy in her own right and it clearly not after his money. So what does the handsome duo not agree on?

Ms Shevell does differ in her politics. She is a meat-eating Republican, unlike the more liberal and staunchly vegetarian ex-Beatle.

Sir Paul, 66, has happily been photographed with his love since early on… Maybe soon it will be wedding pictures we get to see!!
