In new photos published this week in Britain (and splashed across the New York papers Wednesday morning), McCartney, 65, is pictured kissing Nancy Shevell, an American whom the papers described as a new love interest. The photos show the couple walking along a windswept beach, sharing a coffee break and deep in discussion on a sidewalk in the Hamptons, where both Shevell and McCartney have mansions.
A source tells PEOPLE: "They have known each other for a while. They are just friends."
Shevell, who's separated from her husband, is a 47-year-old mother of one and a vice president at the New England Motor Freight, Inc. Earlier in the week, The Sun published a photo of McCartney leaving Top Drawer Lingerie shop in East Hampton last Saturday, with his hood up and clutching a bag.
The latest McCartney news comes just days after Mills launched an attack on the media and the ex-Beatle, which resulted in her publicist resigning. But Mills, for her part, says she's fine with McCartney moving on. She told Extra: "Paul is a free man and can do what he wants."
