I want to hold your hand! Sir Paul McCartney, 83, gets a helping hand from wife Nancy Shevell, 64, as they take a dip in the Hamptons in matching outfits while on beach run

Sir Paul McCartney is enjoying his summer across the pond in the Hamptons and was spotted cooling off in the sea with his wife Nancy Shevell on Friday. The music icon, 79, and his wife Nancy, 61, headed out for a beach run – finishing off their exercise session on the sand with a dip in the water together.

Frolicking in the waves, the couple then headed back onto the beach, with Nancy reaching a hand out to help Paul keep his balance as he made his way up onto the shore. Taking to the sand barefoot, the couple worked up a sweat as they jogged along the beach, before stopping to cool off in the ocean and the large waves.

Paul and Nancy spend most of their summers over in the Hamptons – a group of beach towns located in Long Island, New York and known for its high-end restaurants and bars and designer boutiques.

Legendary musician Paul purchased a $1million (£716k) property in the Hamptons over a decade ago, with his luxury home boasting an outdoor pool and located close to the water. He spends most of his time in the Hamptons, where he likes to sail, in the summer months, but his permanent residence – a £10m home in St John’s Wood – is in London.

Looking as loved-up as ever, Paul and Nancy were seen making the most of their early start as they strolled hand-in-hand along the beach.
