<h2>Early Life and Rise to Public Attention</h2>
<p><a href="/biography/heather-mills">Heather Anne Mills</a> is a British <a href="/biography/heather-mills">activist</a>, entrepreneur, and former ski racer. She first came to public prominence following a serious road accident in 1993, which resulted in the amputation of her left leg below the knee. Her recovery and willingness to speak openly about her experience brought her early media attention. She sold her story to a tabloid newspaper, which helped raise awareness about prosthetics and rehabilitation efforts.</p>

<h2>Marriage to <a href="/biography/paul-mccartney">Paul McCartney</a></h2>
<p>Mills met <a href="/biography/paul-mccartney">Sir</a> <a href="/biography/paul-mccartney">Paul McCartney</a> in 1999 at the Pride of Britain Awards. Mills had received the Outstanding Bravery Award, while <a href="/biography/paul-mccartney">McCartney</a> was there in memory of his late <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_McCartney">wife</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_McCartney">Linda McCartney</a>. The two reportedly bonded over their shared interest in charitable causes, and <a href="/biography/paul-mccartney">McCartney</a> later donated £150,000 to a landmine-related charity that Mills supported.</p>
<p>The couple were engaged during a holiday trip, where <a href="/biography/paul-mccartney">McCartney</a> proposed with a sapphire and diamond ring bought in India. They married in 2002, four years after <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_McCartney">Linda McCartney</a>'s passing. Their daughter, Beatrice Milly McCartney, was born in 2003.</p>
<p>In public interviews at the time, Mills praised her relationship with <a href="/biography/paul-mccartney">McCartney</a>, once noting that he was "very tidy" and supportive, even helping her curb her addiction to chocolate. However, their relationship deteriorated over time, and they separated in 2006. Their divorce was finalized in 2008.</p>

<h2>Divorce Proceedings and Settlement</h2>
<p>The divorce between Mills and <a href="/biography/paul-mccartney">McCartney</a> attracted significant media coverage. The proceedings included complex financial negotiations and personal accusations. Mills alleged abusive behavior during their marriage, claiming that <a href="/biography/paul-mccartney">McCartney</a> had once pushed her into a bathtub while she was pregnant, which she said led to a miscarriage. <a href="/biography/paul-mccartney">McCartney</a>, through legal channels, denied these allegations.</p>
<p>Mills initially sought a settlement of £125 million. After a six-day court hearing, she was awarded a lump sum of £16.5 million, plus assets and annual child support of £35,000 to cover costs for their daughter’s education and welfare.</p>

<h2>Public and Media Scrutiny</h2>
<p>Throughout her relationship and subsequent divorce from <a href="/biography/paul-mccartney">McCartney</a>, Mills faced widespread media scrutiny. Some tabloid outlets suggested that her motives for marrying <a href="/biography/paul-mccartney">McCartney</a> were financially driven, criticisms which she publicly refuted. Mills generally avoided discussing her personal life in interviews, explaining that she wished to protect the privacy of her daughter, <a href="/biography/paul-mccartney">McCartney</a>, and herself.</p>
<p>A reported point of conflict was <a href="/biography/paul-mccartney">Paul McCartney</a>’s <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stella_McCartney">daughter</a> from his previous marriage, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stella_McCartney">fashion designer</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stella_McCartney">Stella McCartney</a>. Mills allegedly accused <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stella_McCartney">Stella</a> of contributing to the breakdown of her marriage, describing her as "jealous"—a claim that was widely covered in the press. However, there was no confirmation of such statements from credible sources.</p>

<h2>Previous Marriage and Controversial Claims</h2>
<p>Before marrying <a href="/biography/paul-mccartney">McCartney</a>, Mills was married to Alfie Karmal. The marriage lasted two years and did not result in any children. In post-divorce commentary, Karmal voiced frustration over aspects of their relationship, stating that Mills was difficult to live with and accusing her of being dishonest about her past. He described Mills as someone who frequently changed her persona and criticized her financial habits.</p>
<p>Karmal also claimed to have spent significantly on gifts and cosmetic procedures during their relationship and alleged that Mills had misled him about her driving credentials and previous romantic relationships. Furthermore, he asserted that she had once been involved with a wealthy <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabs">Arab</a> businessman, which helped her secure early modeling work. None of these claims have been independently verified and largely reflect Karmal’s personal account post-separation.</p>

<h2>Activism and Entrepreneurial Efforts</h2>
<p>Despite the personal controversies, Heather Mills has remained active as a philanthropist and entrepreneur. Following her accident, she became a vocal advocate for disabled rights and landmine victims. She has worked with organizations to raise awareness about prosthetic technology and accessibility issues for amputees. Additionally, she has pursued various business ventures, including a vegan food company that promotes plant-based alternatives.</p>
