Heather Mills On McCartney Marriage

Heather Mills has opened up about her former marriage to Paul McCartney.

The former model was married to the former Beatles' singer from 2002 to 2006, but their divorce was far from amicable and the 47-year-old has now said how hard the relationship was for her.

The couple first met during the Pride of Britain Awards in April 1999 and they started dating shortly afterwards. In 2001, McCartney proposed, and Mills is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying of their romance: "I married Paul because I was completely in love with him. He had so much energy – he was a cross between Peter Pan and Captain Hook.

"I wasn't even a Beatles fan. I barely even knew any of the songs. I liked one song by Wings but that was it. He loved that."

However, she added: "But anyone who thinks marrying a rock legend is going to be paradise… it just isn't."

She went on to reference Yoko Ono, the wife of John Lennon, who once said that 'marrying a Beatle turns the whole world against you'.

Agreeing, Ms Mills said: "I like Yoko. She's a very wise, very lovely woman. And yes, for some reason it's very hard to be married to a Beatle.

"Linda had it tough, Yoko had it tough and what happened to me after the divorce... losing my leg was easier to cope with."

She doesn't regret her marriage though, and while she is unable to reveal many details due to legal reasons, she said: "I say what I think. If I think something is wrong I'll say it. If I wasn't that type of person we'd still be married now.

"But for years I was attracted to these very strong, powerful men who think they want a strong woman but actually they want someone who does what they want."

Mills and McCartney, 72, met in April 1999 and are said to have started dating shortly afterwards. In July 2001, the singer proposed and the couple married in Co Monaghan. Their daughter, Beatrice, was born in October 2003. Almost three years later, in April 2006, Mills and McCartney separated with their divorce being finalised in March 2008.
