Paul McCartney linked to NYC woman
Paul McCartney, who is in the midst of a bitter divorce from his second wife, has been photographed kissing another woman in the Hamptons.
The encounter between McCartney, 65, and Nancy Shevell, a member of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board, was last weekend, according to The Sun of London, which published the picture.
Shevell, estranged wife of prominent Nassau County lawyer Bruce A. Blakeman, has a home in the Long Island resort, as does the former Beatle.
She was appointed to the MTA board by then-Gov. George E. Pataki in 2001.
The Sun said McCartney and Shevell were spotted at a sushi restaurant in Amagansett and at an outdoor cafe.
In one photo published by the British tabloid, the couple are seen sitting in the front seat of a car, with McCartney embracing Shevell. In another, they are walking along a breezy shoreline, wearing jackets, their hands in their pockets and their heads lowered.
A call and e-mail to McCartney’s spokesman, Paul Freundlich, on Wednesday morning weren’t returned. A phone number listed for Shevell on Long Island was disconnected, and Blakeman couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
Shevell, a graduate of Arizona State University, is a vice president of her family’s business, New England Motor Freight, based in Elizabeth, N.J.
