Parl McCartney and Heather Mills strike the deal to end their War of the Roses
The battle might be over soon between Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills. According to Daily Mail, the two are aiming secretly to agree a divorce deal worth around £60million before a High Court judge.
And in order to avoid the attention the former couple and their lawyers will attend a one-day hearing “at a location unusually moved out of the Royal Courts of Justice.”
After the ugly scenes, Heather, surprisingly, is expected to agree on the lump sum Sir Paul has offered. The figure is £15million (30 million dollars or 21 millions of euros).
He also has to look after their four-year-old daughter Beatrice, paying for her expenses (schooling, travel, nannies, etc.) until she turns 18. Aside from that Heather will also receive between £3million and £3.5million annually.
Not bad for Mrs. Paul McCartney who was on the musician’s side for only four years. It was speculated early that the ex-model and now reality show actress would receive between £57million and £64million. In spite of the hefty amount, she won’t receive any property from the agreement.
Perhaps, Sir Paul doesn’t want anymore of the media coverage. The war between him and Heather turned ugly since they separated. Apart from verbal abuse that got printed on the papers and gossip magazines, there were a lot of diggings from their past (especially Heather’s when she posed nude for a German magazine for men) and accusations of domestic violence.
Sir Paul doesn’t mind paying out his ex-wife to “prevent Heather airing the reasons for the split in public,” dissuading her to come out with a memoir and or an autobiography in the near future.
Lately, Heather is trying to court the media when she appeared in the US TV. Early this year she became a contestant in a dancing show for celebrities.
Heather accused the singer that he assaulted her “at least four times, once slashing her arm with a broken wine glass” and he was drunk regularly and even smoked marijuana during their marriage and that he prevented her from breast-feeding Beatrice.
Sir Paul, who will turn 80 in 15 years, has been spotted with several women. One of them is Renée Zellweger in early September.
It is good to know that he is enjoying the rest of his life. As we all know celebrity divorce gets really messy and costly. He might want to get over it and move on with his life.
