Paul McCartney Shows of New Girlfriend to Friends

Paul McCartney is clearly determined to get his love life back on track following his bitter divorce from Heather Mills earlier this year -- after showing off new girlfriend Nancy Shevell to his most trusted friends.

The Beatles legend, 66, arranged a special dinner at a local restaurant before a gig in Quebec, Canada, so that the US millionairess and socialite could meet his inner circle.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "He is clearly very much in love and was as proud as punch that it went so well.

"It was plain to see that their relationship has come on in leaps and bounds.

"Whereas his priority at first was to keep everything relatively low-key, now wants to show her off to all his pals. It went really well and Nancy was on sparkling form and charmed everyone."

The new couple then retired to the five-star Chateau Frontenac Hotel on Saturday night where they had the best suite.

They had a glass of wine in the bar and a fellow guest said, "They seemed very at ease in each other's company."

Sir Paul's team was also staying there because he wanted Nancy, 47, to feel part of the gang. The next day, the pair, who were first snapped kissing in November, went sightseeing and cycling in the old town.

A source said: "It's clear that she's now a part of his inner sanctum and accepted by everyone.

"He is obviously over his divorce from Heather."
