June 11th is a good day in the personal lives of John Lennon and Ringo Starr, but not so much for Paul McCartney.
Starting with Lennon, it was on that day in 1970 that he and his wife Yoko Ono told reporters in California they planned to settle in New York.
It was also on that day in 1969 that The Beatles, while still together, had their final number-one song in the UK as "The Ballad of John and Yoko" hit the top spot. They since had another one -- "Now and Then" in 2023.
For Ringo, it was June 11th, 1980 that he announced his engagement to American actress Barbara Bach. They were married on April 27th, 1981 -- second marriages for both -- and are still together.
As for Paul, June 11th is a day he'd rather soon forget as it was on that day in 2002 that he married his second wife, British model-turned-activist Heather Mills at Castle Leslie in County Monahan, Ireland.
The only good thing to come out of the drama-filled marriage was their daughter Beatrice, who was born in 2003.
The British press had a field day with Mills, often branding her a liar. Their divorce in 2008 cost McCartney close to $50-million with Justice Hugh Bennett saying that throughout the case, Mills was "inconsistent, inaccurate and less than candid" while McCartney was "honest."
McCartney started dating Nancy Shevell in 2007 and they married in 2011.
