Up until now they’ve denied the rumours but today Paul McCartney and wife Heather Mills have officially announced they are to separate after just four years of marriage.
They have issued a joint statement on the decision: “Having tried exceptionally hard to make our relationship work given the daily pressures surrounding us, it is with sadness that we have decided to go our separate ways.”
“Our parting is amicable and both of us still care about each other very much but have found it increasingly difficult to maintain a normal relationship with constant intrusion into our private lives, and we have actively tried to protect the privacy of our child.”
There are pressures on all relationships. For a realtionship to work, both partners must make the compromises necessary for each partner to grow and achieve the aspirations of their life. Thus, in a happy marriage, each partner contributes and compliments with the other. It makes them a strong team.
When you are a star, you are under the media spotlight. They make you rich and famous for what you do. To unravel a marriage because of intrusion into their lives is not good enough.
By the time Paul McCartney and Heather Mills were married, in 2002 in Ireland, there was already a strong tide of anti-Mills opinion in the British media, abetted by an army of anonymous "friends" of the couple.
She was a latter-day Yoko Ono, they said, who came between him and his children, him and his friends, and him and his longtime publicist, Geoff Baker, who left the job after she made his life unbearable.
