London - Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney moved in with his new partner, in the person of US heiress Nancy Shevell, the British daily The Sun reported Monday.

The 47-year old was already spending almost every weekend with McCartney on his sprawling East Essex estate Peasmarsh in Britain's Southeast, the paper reported.

After McCartney had asked his new love to move in with him last week, the heiress had decided to divide her time between the US and Britain.

McCartney's daughter, Stella, who was reported to have been on bad terms with stepmother Heather Mills, had given her blessing to her father's new relationship but warned him not to rush into a new marriage, the paper said.

The ex-Beatle was divorced from his second wife after a lengthy legal battle that was fought under the public glare.

He had acquired Peasmarsh in 1969 as a wedding gift for his first wife Linda who died from cancer in 1998. Shevell is an old friend of the ex-Beatle and his first wife.
