Who did Paul McCartney marry in 2011?

The story behind the answer

Paul McCartney married Nancy Shevell in 2011.

The couple married in a civil ceremony on 9 October 2011 at Marylebone Town Hall in London. The location carried a personal connection: McCartney had married his first wife, Linda Eastman, at the same town hall in 1969. Shevell is an American business executive from New Jersey who worked in her family's transportation business and served on the board of New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

McCartney and Shevell began dating in 2007 and announced their engagement in May 2011. Shevell became Lady McCartney when they married. Before the ceremony, the couple attended Yom Kippur services, reflecting Shevell's Jewish background, but their wedding itself was civil rather than religious.

The wrong options point to earlier relationships: Cynthia Lennon was John Lennon's first wife, Linda Eastman was McCartney's first wife, and Heather Mills was his second wife, married in 2002. McCartney and Shevell remain married.
