Paul was previously married twice before - he wed first wife Linda in 1969 and the pair were married until Linda died, aged 56, in 1998, following a battle with breast cancer. Paul and Linda share four children; daughters Heather, Mary and Stella, and son James. He later wed second wife Heather Mills, who he shares daughter Beatrice with, in 2002 - they split four years later in 2006 and their divorce, costing the star £24.3 million, was finalised in 2008.
