Beatles’ Paul McCartney has split with second wife Heather Mills after four years of marriage. The reason they gave was media pressure. The couple issue the statement:

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. Our parting is amicable and both of us still care about each other very much.

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.

Looks like Heather may be due a windfall, because Paul didn’t want to sign a prenuptial agreement. What a very very bad move, considering Paul was worth over $1 billion at the time of their marriage.

Like I tell all my wealthy friends, get that damn paper sign before you walk down the aisle. There is not guarantee in life, especially marriage. And if they tell you, “Love has no price tag,” you tell her, “If that’s true you wouldn’t mind signing this simple paper.”
