[[File:Paul McCartney with Linda McCartney - Wings - 1976.jpg|thumb|253x253px|[[Paul McCartney]] performing in 1976 with his first wife [[Linda McCartney|Linda]]]]
The relationships of the English musician [[Paul McCartney]] include engagements to Dot Rhone and actress [[Jane Asher]], and marriages to [[Linda McCartney|Linda Eastman]], [[Heather Mills]], and Nancy Shevell.

McCartney had a three-year relationship with Dot Rhone in Liverpool, and bought her a gold ring in [[Hamburg]] after she became pregnant in 1960 and they were to be married. However, she miscarried and they did not marry, but stayed together until the autumn of 1962. In London, McCartney had a five-year relationship with Jane Asher after they met in April 1963 and lived in her parents' house for three years. He wrote several songs at the Ashers' house, including "[[Yesterday (Beatles song)|Yesterday]]". Asher inspired other songs, such as "[[And I Love Her]]", "[[You Won't See Me]]", and "[[I'm Looking Through You]]". On 25 December 1967, they announced their engagement, but they separated in July 1968.

McCartney met the American photographer Linda Eastman in [[The Bag O'Nails|The Bag O'Nails club]] in London on 15 May 1967, while still with Asher. They met again at the launch party for the Beatles' ''[[Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]]'' on 19 May 1967. In May 1968, McCartney met Eastman again in New York, and they were married on 12 March 1969. They had three children together and remained married until her death from breast cancer in 1998.

McCartney appeared publicly beside [[Heather Mills]] at a party in January 2000 to celebrate her 32nd birthday. On 11 June 2002, they were married at [[Castle Leslie]] in [[Glaslough]], Ireland. They had one child, Beatrice, in 2003 but were living apart by May 2006. In July 2006, British newspapers announced that McCartney had petitioned for divorce. On 17 March 2008, the financial terms of the divorce were finalised, which awarded Mills £24.3 million ($38.5 million). In November 2007, McCartney started dating Nancy Shevell, who was a member of the board of the [[New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority]] and vice president of the family-owned [[New England Motor Freight]]. It was announced on 6 May 2011, that the two had become engaged, and they married in London on 9 October 2011.

== Jim McCartney==
Jim McCartney encouraged his son Paul to play the family piano on which the boy wrote "[[When I'm Sixty-Four]]".((sfn|Miles|1997|pp=22–23)) Jim advised Paul to take some music lessons, which he did, but soon realised that he preferred to learn 'by ear' (as his father had done) and because he never paid attention in music classes.((sfn|Miles|1997|pp=22–23)) After Paul and brother Michael (stage name [[Mike McGear]]) became interested in music, Jim connected the radio in the living room to extension cords connected to two pairs of [[Bakelite]] [[headphone]]s so that they could listen to [[Radio Luxembourg (English)|Radio Luxembourg]] at night when they were in bed.((sfn|Miles|1997|p=24))

After first meeting John Lennon, Jim warned Paul that John would get him "into trouble", although he later allowed [[The Quarrymen]] to rehearse in the dining room at Forthlin Road in the evenings.((sfn|Miles|1997|pp=32–38)) Jim was reluctant to let the teenage Paul go to [[Hamburg]] with the Beatles until Paul said the group would earn £15 per week each (((Inflation|UK|15|1960|r=-2|fmt=eq|cursign=£))((Inflation-fn|UK|df=y))). As this was more than he earned himself, Jim finally agreed, but only after a visit from the group's then-manager, [[Allan Williams]], who said that Jim should not worry.((sfn|Miles|1997|p=57))((sfn|Spitz|2005|p=205)) [[Bill Harry]] recalled that Jim was probably "the Beatles' biggest fan", and was extremely proud of Paul's success. Shelagh Johnson—later to become director of the Beatles' Museum in Liverpool—said that Jim's outward show of pride embarrassed his son.((sfn|Spitz|2005|p=392)) Jim enlisted Michael's help when sorting through the ever-increasing sacks of fan letters that were delivered to Forthlin Road, with both composing "personal" responses that were supposedly from Paul.((sfn|Spitz|2005|p=410)) Michael later succeeded on his own with the group [[the Scaffold]].<ref>[http://biguntidy.com/Articles/Scaffold.pdf The Scaffold biog] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071007021627/http://biguntidy.com/Articles/Scaffold.pdf |date=7 October 2007 )) biguntidy.com – Retrieved 8 October 2007</ref>

== Jim, Angie and Ruth McCartney ==
In 1963, a family friend introduced Jim to a young widow, Angie, and her infant daughter Ruth. He soon proposed marriage and Angie readily accepted. Paul, who was in London at the time, was informed by telephone of her acceptance and a few hours later he arrived at the Cheshire home he had gifted to his father. He and his brother Michael both approved of their future stepmother and they soon got married over the border in [[Wales]] in 1964. Jim went on to adopt Ruth. 

Twelve years later on 18 March 1976, Jim (whose health had recently deteriorated) died while Paul and [[Linda McCartney|Linda]] were performing abroad with [[Wings discography|Wings]]; they decided not to attend the family funeral, which kept Jim's death and funeral away from the media.<ref name=":0">((Cite web |title=They'd saved themselves for him - Home, Family, Love - Paul McCartney: The Life - Philip Norman |url=https://publicism.info/biography/mccartney/35.html |access-date=2023-02-05 |website=publicism.info))</ref> Relations with Angie were to cool. Angie moved to London and, after a failed business attempt, moved with Ruth to [[Playa del Rey, Los Angeles]] in 1990, where they started a successful website design venture and Tea and Wine companies.<ref>((Cite web |title=Mrs. McCartney's Organic Teas |url=https://mrsmccartneysteas.com/ |access-date=2023-02-05 |website=Mrs. McCartney's Teas |language=en))</ref><ref>((Cite web |last=CrypticRock |date=2020-03-17 |title=Interview – Angie McCartney |url=https://crypticrock.com/interview-angie-mccartney/ |access-date=2023-02-05 |website=Cryptic Rock |language=en-US))</ref>

Paul wrote "[[I Lost My Little Girl]]" just after Mary had died, and explained that it was a subconscious reference to his late mother.<ref name="MilesPage21">Miles (1997) p. 21</ref> He has speculated that he subconsciously wrote the song "[[Yesterday (Beatles song)|Yesterday]]" about his mother as well.<ref>((Cite web |title=Maybe We're Amazed |url=https://www.the-paulmccartney-project.com/interview/maybe-were-amazed/ |access-date=2022-08-05 |website=The Paul McCartney project |language=en))</ref> He also wrote "[[Golden Slumbers]]" at his father's house in Heswall, and said the lyrics were taken from Ruth McCartney's sheet-music copy of [[Thomas Dekker (poet)|Thomas Dekker]]'s lullaby—also called "[[Golden Slumbers]]"—that Ruth had left on the piano at Rembrandt.((sfn|Miles|1997|p=210))((sfn|Miles|1997|p=557))<ref name="TheBeatlesAnthologyDVD2">"The Beatles Anthology" DVD 2003 (Special Features—Back at Abbey Road May 1995— 0:00:16) McCartney talking about the writing of "Golden Slumbers".</ref> [[Hunter Davies]], who was at Jim's house at the time doing an interview for his Beatles' biography, remembered Jim listening to an [[acetate disc]] of "[[When I'm Sixty-Four]]".((sfn|Miles|1997|p=319)) Davies wrote that Paul originally wrote the song specifically for his younger father and then recorded it, as Jim was by then 64 years old and had remarried two years previously.<ref name=":0" /><ref>((Cite news |last=Lynskey |first=Dorian |date=2022-06-18 |title=At 80, Paul McCartney still makes genius look effortless |language=en-GB |work=The Observer |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jun/18/paul-mccartney-at-80-still-makes-genius-look-effortless |access-date=2023-02-05 |issn=0029-7712))</ref> Paul wrote "[[Let It Be (song)|Let It Be]]", because of a dream he had in 1968.

I felt very blessed to have that dream. So that got me writing 'Let It Be'."((sfn|Harry|2002))((sfn|Miles|1997|p=20))

In 1974, Paul recorded a song his father had previously written, entitled "Walking in the Park with Eloise", which was released by Wings under the pseudonym, "The Country Hams". The Country Hams' single was backed with a tune entitled "Bridge on the River Suite". Both songs can be found on the CD ''[[Venus and Mars (Wings album)|Venus and Mars]]'' from [[The Paul McCartney Collection]].

==Early relationships==
<!-- [[WP:NFCC]] violation: [[File:Paul and Dot Rhone.jpg|150px|left|thumb|McCartney and Rhone in 1962]] -->

One of McCartney's first girlfriends, in 1957, was called Layla, a name he remembered as being unusual in Liverpool at the time.((sfn|Miles|1997|p=29)) She was slightly older than McCartney and used to ask him to [[Babysitting|baby-sit]] with her. Julie Arthur, another girlfriend, was [[Ted Ray (comedian)|Ted Ray]]'s niece.((sfn|Miles|1997|p=29))

McCartney's first serious girlfriend in Liverpool was seventeen-year-old Dorothy "Dot" Rhone (a bank clerk or a cashier at a chemist's, according to varying accounts),((sfn|Flippo|1988|p=72)) whom he had met at [[The Casbah Coffee Club|The Casbah Club]] in 1959.((sfn|Carlin|2009|p=65))((sfn|Spitz|2005|p=163)) McCartney picked out the clothes he liked Rhone to wear and told her which make-up to use, also paying for her to have her blonde hair done in the style of [[Brigitte Bardot]], whom both he and [[John Lennon]] idolised.((sfn|Spitz|2005|p=171)) He disliked Rhone seeing her friends, and stopped her from smoking, even though he did so himself.((sfn|Carlin|2009|p=66)) When McCartney first went to Hamburg with The Beatles, he wrote regular letters to Rhone, and she accompanied Lennon's girlfriend, [[Cynthia Lennon|Cynthia Powell]], to Hamburg when the group played there again in 1962.((sfn|Spitz|2005|pp=239–240)) According to Rhone, McCartney bought her a gold ring in Hamburg, a leather skirt, took her sightseeing, and was very attentive and caring.((sfn|Harry|2002|p=54))((sfn|Spitz|2005|p=246)) For the time Rhone was there, the couple lived in a bungalow by the Hamburg docks that belonged to Rosa, a former cleaner at the Indra club.((sfn|Cross|2004|p=33)) McCartney admitted that he had other girlfriends in Hamburg when Rhone was in Liverpool,((sfn|Carlin|2009|p=66)) admitting that they were usually [[Striptease|strippers]], who knew a lot more about sex than Liverpool girls.<ref name="TheBeatlesAnthologyDVDEpisode14351">''The Beatles Anthology'' DVD 2003 (Episode 1: 43:51) McCartney talking about sex and strippers in Hamburg.</ref>
 
Rhone later rented a room in the same house as Cynthia Lennon was living,((sfn|Flippo|1988|p=166)) with McCartney contributing to the rent.((sfn|Spitz|2005|p=311)) According to Mark Lewisohn's biography ''Tune In'', Dot became pregnant in 1960, and Paul's father, Jim, while being shocked, was nonetheless rather pleased at the prospect of becoming a grandfather. They were to be married soon, but Dot had a miscarriage. She still wore the ring he gave her, and they stayed together until the autumn of 1962 when Paul broke up with her, knowing she'd eventually want to get married (John & Cynthia had recently married in August 1962 due to her pregnancy), and he didn't want to marry anyone at the time because he was still only 20 years old.

He then had a brief relationship with Thelma Pickles, who had previously dated Lennon. She later married Liverpool poet [[Roger McGough]], but she remembered McCartney as growing from a "plump young schoolboy into someone very much his own person" during their time together.((sfn|Bowen|2008|p=54)) McCartney also had a fiery [[On-again, off-again relationship|on–off relationship]] with Iris Caldwell, the younger sister of singer [[Rory Storm]], who refused to bow to McCartney's demands.((sfn|Carlin|2009|p=66)) After one argument, Caldwell poured a bowl of sugar over his head, but when McCartney turned up the next day, she had to phone her new boyfriend, [[George Harrison]], to cancel their date.((sfn|Carlin|2009|p=67))

Rhone later emigrated to [[Toronto]], Canada,<ref name="Everybodygotsomethingtohide">((cite web|url=https://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/051212/12spitz.htm |title=Everybody's got something to hide, even the Beatles |first=Alex |last=Kingsbury|publisher=[[U.S. News & World Report]] |date=12 December 2005 |access-date=5 July 2011))</ref> and McCartney met her again when the Beatles played there, and then again with [[Wings (band)|Wings]].<ref name="TripodRhone"/> Rhone later said that "[[Love of the Loved]]" and "[[P.S. I Love You (Beatles song)|P.S. I Love You]]" were written about her.((sfn|Cross|2004|p=423)) Years later, Cynthia Lennon gave Rhone the gold ring that McCartney had bought Rhone, having once tried it on while Rhone was washing dishes, and forgotten to take it off. Rhone is now a grandmother and lives in [[Mississauga, Ontario]].<ref name="TripodRhone">((cite web|url=http://sentstarr.tripod.com/beatgirls/rhone.html |title=Dorothy Rhone|publisher=Sentstarr Tripod |access-date=14 May 2011))</ref>

==Asher and Eastman ==
[[File:JaneAsher.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Asher during filming of the [[Maestro (British TV series)|''Maestro'' TV series]] in 2008]]

McCartney first met British actress [[Jane Asher]] on 18 April 1963 when the Beatles performed at the [[Royal Albert Hall]], in London, after a photographer asked them to pose with her.((sfn|Miles|1997|p=101)) They were then interviewed by Asher for the [[BBC]], with Asher being photographed screaming at them like a fan.((sfn|Miles|1997|p=102)) McCartney soon met Asher's family: [[Margaret Eliot|Margaret]], her mother was a music teacher, and Asher's father [[Richard Asher|Richard]] was a physician.((sfn|Carlin|2009|p=112)) Her brother, [[Peter Asher|Peter]], was a member of [[Peter and Gordon]], and her younger sister, Clare, was also an actress.((sfn|Miles|1997|p=104)) McCartney later gave "[[A World Without Love]]" to Peter and Gordon, as well as "Nobody I Know". Both songs were hits for the duo.((sfn|Miles|1997|p=112)) McCartney took up residence at the Ashers' house at 57&nbsp;[[Wimpole Street]], London, and lived there for nearly three years.((sfn|Miles|1997|p=106)) During his time there McCartney met writers such as [[Bertrand Russell]], [[Harold Pinter]], and [[Len Deighton]].((sfn|Miles|1997|pp=125–126)) He wrote several songs at the Ashers', including "Yesterday", and worked on songs with Lennon in the basement music room. Asher inspired many songs, such as "And I Love Her", "You Won't See Me", and "I'm Looking Through You".((sfn|Miles|1997|p=108))

On 13 April 1965, McCartney bought a £40,000 three-storey [[Regency architecture|Regency]] house at 7&nbsp;[[Cavendish Avenue]], [[St John's Wood]], London, and spent a further £20,000 renovating it.((sfn|Carlin|2009|p=126)) He thanked the Ashers by paying for the decoration of the front of their house.((sfn|Miles|1997|p=254)) On 15 May 1967, McCartney met American photographer [[Linda McCartney|Linda Eastman]] at a [[Georgie Fame]] concert at [[The Bag O'Nails]] in London.((sfn|WingspanDVD|2001))<ref name="Nails">((cite web |last=Newman |first=Raymond |date=20 August 2006 |url=http://www.revolverbook.co.uk/beatleslondon.html |title=The Beatles' London, 1965–66 ''Abracadabra!'' |publisher=revolverbook |access-date=20 January 2013))</ref> Eastman was in the UK on an assignment to take photographs of "swinging sixties" musicians in London.<ref>((cite web |title=Deep Purple Atlas |url=http://www.deep-purple.net/archive/a-z/speakeasy/48-Margaret-St-resizes.jpg |publisher=The Deep Purple Appreciation Society, deep-purple.net |access-date=11 June 2006))</ref> They met again four days later at the launch party for the ''Sgt. Pepper'' album at Beatles' manager [[Brian Epstein|Brian Epstein's]] house in [[Belgravia]], but after her assignment was completed, she flew back to New York.((sfn|Miles|1997|p=117)) On 25 December 1967, McCartney and Asher announced their engagement, and she accompanied McCartney [[The Beatles in India|to India]] in February and March 1968.((sfn|Carlin|2009|p=154))

Asher broke off the engagement in the summer of 1968, apparently because of an alleged affair Paul was having. McCartney and Asher later attempted to mend their relationship, but finally broke up in July 1968. Asher has consistently refused to publicly discuss that part of her life.
