An eyewitness told the photo agency Mega, “They have well established habits around relaxation and well being when they are on the island, making sure to choose top-of-the-range, luxury villas to make the most of their break. This time was no exception.”

A source added of the couple, “They seemed as loved up as ever during their trip. Paul looked super fit and youthful for his age as he made sure to enjoy regular swims and he only had eyes for Nancy as they floated around in the waves together.”

“I completely overdo Valentine’s Day! I mean, there’s not just one card, there are cards hidden around the room, and sometimes things even spill into the next day — it’s completely silly. If there’s an excuse to have some fun, I overdo it!” he admitted.

McCartney added that he loves being the person Shevell “relies on.”

“I am very proud, in fact, to be ‘The Guy’ there. And I know she is grateful. So that’s my role as a husband: it’s to be the strength and the romance at the same time,” he wrote. “I don’t think I consciously chose to be that way. It’s just how I do things.”

McCartney was previously married to Linda McCartney from 1969 until her death in 1998, and Heather Mills from 2022 until 2008.
