Paul McCartney and his wife hold everyone but themselves to account for their separation:
The mega-star musician, 63, and former model Mills, 38, said in a statement that they had found it tough to keep their marriage going amid "constant intrusion" into their private lives.
The couple, who married in June 2002, said in a statement that it was an amicable split but that having a baby daughter made the break-up very stressful.
"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," the couple said.
"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.

"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.
"Separation for any couple is difficult enough, but to have to go through this so publicly, especially with a small daughter, is immensely stressful.
"We hope, for the sake of our baby daughter, that we will be given some space and time to get through this difficult period."
This man has been a "celebrity" for well over 40 years now and has reaped vast rewards from it but he just does not understand some basics. |
