Paul McCartney gets helping hand out of sea from wife in The Hamptons after run on the beach 

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.

The couple were perfectly in sync for their beach-filled morning, with Paul and Nancy stepping out in colour-coordinated gym gear. 

The Beatles star sported a black crew neck sweatshirt and blue colour block swim shorts and kept a low-profile as he covered up in a baseball cap and shades. 

Nancy, meanwhile, matched her famous husband as she donned a black fleece and shorts, with a cobalt blue swimsuit underneath. 

Adding a touch of glamour to her sporty ensemble, she accessorised for her run with a straw fedora hat and sunglasses.

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. 

The pair have been together since 2007 and married in a ceremony held in Marylebone four years later in 2011.  

Their summer break comes after an unusual move in the Paul’s music career saw him record himself munching carrots and celery for a new release. 

Fans will finally get to hear the snippet that Paul first recorded 20 years ago for the band Super Furry Animals to use as a backing track on their song, Receptacle For The Respectable.

The isolated audio has now been released on its own to celebrate the 20-year anniversary edition of the Super Furry Animals album, Rings Around The World.

A source told The Sun: ‘Admittedly, this is no Hey Jude. 

‘But it might provide some nice background noise for a true Beatles fan. Or a vegan.’ 

It’s not the first time the award-winning songwriter has been linked to food, as it was recently revealed Paul once treated fans to fish and chips after he was late arriving to an intimate Liverpool gig.

The star, whose career has spanned more than 60 years, is said to have gifted fans free food and hot drinks after he was late arriving for a small show at the O2 Academy Liverpool in December 2010 following his then world tour.

According to Liverpool Echo, Paul and his band were hit by delays when travelling from London for the intimate gig, where 1,200 tickets sold out in just six seconds, and ticketless fans waited outside to catch a glimpse of the star.

Due to the delay and fans queuing in the cold weather in December, Paul is said to have treated those outside without tickets and gig-goers to free fish and chips and hot beverages from a nearby burger van.
