Paul McCartney & Wife Heather Mills Split

Ex-Beatles Paul McCartney and his wife, model Heather Mills, have confirmed that they have indeed separated.  The Associated Press reports:   

A statement issued by the former Beatle and his second wife said they had “found it increasingly difficult to maintain a normal relationship with constant intrusion into our private lives.” The brief statement said that “with sadness” the couple agreed to “go our separate ways” but said the parting was “amicable.”

“Separation for any couple is difficult enough, but to have to go through this so publicly, especially with a small daughter, is immensely stressful,” the statement said. “We hope, for the sake of our baby daughter, that we will be given some space and time to get through this difficult period.”

The lovely couple married in 2002 & have a 2-year-old daughter Beatrice.  Wow, I have to say I kinda thought this one was going to last.
