Macca house hunting in New York to be near Nancy Shevell

Washington, Sept 5 : Sir Paul McCartney is on a new quest these days - hunting for an apartment near his ladylove Nancy Shevell's New York home, according to reports.

The former Beatle star has been seeing the American heiress since last year and is now said to have made moves to purchase a property closer to her Upper East Side residence in the city.

McCartney formerly owned a place in midtown Manhattan with ex-wife Heather Mills - who settled into her own apartment in the city's star-studded downtown West Village earlier this year (08).

"He's been looking at eight-figure apartments. I think he just wants to rid himself of the Heather factor," Contactmusic quoted a source, as telling the New York Post.
