Who is Mary McCartney's husband? Here's why she didn't invite dad Sir Paul McCartney to her wedding
Photographer and daughter to Sir Paul McCartney, Mary McCartney is no stranger when it comes to being in front of the camera either. Having directed and produced short films and more, McCartney is here to take on the silver screen in a whole new avatar, as the host of 'Mary McCartney Serves it Up'.
As per the Discovery website, "Mary will be joined by her famous friends, at home and over video conference, to celebrate food and friendship with transatlantic cook-alongs, taste-tests, cocktail classes and fun food Q&As. From easy dinners to comforting eats, moreish modern meals, and scrumptious desserts, Mary serves up incredible eats proving every day and special occasions can be vege-licious." Accompanied by some of McCartney's famous friends such as Liv Taylor, Mark Ronson and Dave Grohl, she whips us some easy to make meals.
Mary McCartney has had a long and illustrious career as a photographer and has certainly gone on to make a name for herself. The mother of 4, McCartney has been married once before. Here's a look into her relationship over the years.
Married to Alistair Donald
The pair met in 1995 — Mary McCartney met director and television producer Alistair Donald through her brother, who introduced them to each other. The couple began dating and planned on getting married three years later. The wedding was postponed due to the demise of Mary McCartney's mother, though the couple did end up getting married in September of 1998, as opposed to May. The couple had two sons, Arthur and Elliot Donald. The couple claimed to have split in 2005, but planned on reconciling for the sake of their children. Although there was no formal announcement, Mary McCartney began using her maiden name in 2007.
She is currently married to Simon Aboud
In 2008, Mary McCartney had her third son with director boyfriend Simon Aboud. The pair tied the knot in 2010 in London at the Marylebone Register Office — the same place where her parents, Paul and Linda McCartney got married themselves. The ceremony (much like her parents that intended theirs to be) was extremely hush-hush, seeing that McCartney didn't even inform her father about the same. The Daily Mail, the reason she didn't invite her father, even though the two are close, was to prevent her wedding from becoming a 'Macca thing'.
The couple have two sons together. Aboud is a writer, director and producer, his most notable works being 'This Beautiful Fantastic' and 'Comes a Bright Day'.
