Who are Paul McCartney's children?

Paul McCartney found worldwide fame as one of the Fab Four in the 60s and has penned some of pop's most enduring songs.

He is one of the two surviving members of the iconic band, along with drummer Ringo Starr.

Paul has been married three times, first to Linda Eastman, then to Heather Mills, before marrying Nancy Shevell in 2011.

The Liverpool-born rocker has been touring the world for decades and has released numerous hits, but he still found the time to raise his five kids.

Heather was born on December 31, 1962, and is the daughter of Paul's late wife Linda from her previous marriage.

She's a successful artist and designer and has had a number of international exhibitions including shows in Tokyo, Paris and London.

Heather - who was adopted by Paul - also appeared in his documentaries Let It Be and Wingspan.

Away from her art, Heather tends to stay out of the spotlight, more than her siblings.

Probably the best-known of all of the McCartney siblings, Stella was born on September 13, 1971, and is a world-famous fashion designer.

She founded her fashion house, Stella McCartney, in 2001, which is an internationally-renowned brand.

Since 2005, Stella has designed an activewear collection for Adidas.

Her fashion house is a huge deal, and sees fashionistas flocking to her catwalk shows across the world.

Like her parents, the kind-hearted star is a firm supporter of animal rights and environmentalism, and is particularly known for her use of vegetarian and animal-free alternatives in her work.

In 2023, Stella was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE).

She was also given the honour of being Team GB's Creative Director for the 2012 Olympics by Adidas.

This was the first time in the games' history that a leading fashion designer held this honour.

James McCartney was born on September 12, 1977, and is Paul's only son.

He has followed his dad into the music industry, becoming a singer-songwriter.

He released his debut single Available Light in 2010 before his first album Me came out in 2013.

James' second album, The Blackberry Train, was co-produced by his father in 2016.

The singer once said how his earliest inspiration to learn guitar was Michael J. Fox in Back To The Future.

He then began playing music when his father gave him a Fender Stratocaster at age nine.

The guitar had previously been owned by Carl Perkins.
