Nancy Shevell – Paul McCartney’s Third Wife
Nancy Shevell, now 61, is from New Jersey and vice president of her family’s trucking business. Since trucks were part of her childhood, she explained how “While other kids would go feed ducks at the park, we would go to my father’s truck terminals, to places like Pennsauken, every single weekend.” Before McCartney, Shevell was married to New York attorney Bruce Blakeman for over 20 years. They had a son, Arlen, and were divorced in 2007.

The second cousin of Barbara Walters, Shevell credits Walters with introducing her to Paul McCartney the same year both she and McCartney divorced their spouses. By 2011, Shevell and McCartney were engaged, and he wrote a love song for her called “My Valentine.” They exchanged vows at the Marylebone register’s office in England, the same place McCartney and Eastman wed in 1969. They invited a very modest number of 30 guests.
