NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former Beatle Paul McCartney, 60, and his second wife, Heather Mills, said on Wednesday that the couple are expecting a baby later this year.
"We are delighted with this happy news," the couple said in a statement.
McCartney and Mills married in June 2002. McCartney has three children from his 29-year marriage to Linda McCartney, who died of breast cancer (news - web sites) in 1998. He also adopted Linda's child from an earlier marriage.
Mills, a former model who lost her left leg below the knee in an accident, met McCartney at a charity event three years ago.
McCartney helped revolutionize popular music in the 1960s as a member of the Beatles. After they split in 1970, he continued as a solo artist and with the band Wings, which he formed with Linda.
From USAToday:
Heather Mills says she volunteered to sign a prenuptial agreement before she married Paul McCartney.
"I wanted to prove that I love him for him. He said, 'I wouldn't let you,' " Mills, 34, tells the October issue of Vanity Fair, denying claims that she had refused to sign, despite the wishes of McCartney's children.
McCartney, 60, still seems besotted with the woman who stole on the streets as a child and lost her left leg below the knee in an accident. Writer Leslie Bennetts describes him cutting up fruit for Mills' breakfast, making her sandwiches for lunch.
If Mills has a grueling schedule, Bennetts writes, "the stump of her amputated leg is often angry and purple by evening. But her husband is ever eager to massage it for her, easing her pain and soothing the stresses of the day."
Bennetts says McCartney's kids are "distraught" that their father and Mills are trying to have a baby. Mills, who suffered two ectopic pregnancies in her first marriage, says, "I don't know if I ever could have a child. I just say, What will be will be."
She says of the relationship: "It's incredibly passionate. ... Our favorite thing is to stay home. I cook a meal and he dances around the room like Fred Astaire. We're great for each other. I could eat him! I think when you find your soul mate, you could sleep under their armpits. I'm like a little dog. He says, 'You're always sniffing me!' "
McCartney says of charges that Heather is a gold digger: "I'm not stupid. Heather's a really nice person, or else I wouldn't be attracted to her in the least. ... But you're going to find people who are going to knock her, because the better story is the negative one."
