McCartney enjoys luxury holiday with new love

Paul McCartney has taken his relationship with American heiress Nancy Shevell to the next level by inviting her on a romantic Caribbean holiday.

The former Beatle, 65, booked a break to Antigua with Shevell after his $48.6m (€31m) divorce settlement with estranged wife Heather Mills last month.

The pair was spotted getting close on the beach of a private resort - splashing out on a $12,000 (€7,700)-a-night villa. The couple have enjoyed hand-in-hand walks along the coast, a sailing trip and frolics in the sea.

A source tells The Sun: "They seemed so happy and relaxed - like they had been together for years."

Last November, McCartney and Shevell were reportedly spotted kissing in a car. Shevell, 47, split from her lawyer husband Bruce Blakeman shortly after.
