McCartney, visibly emotional, did not go into further specifics about the nature of Shevell’s illness, but emphasized that it is a “challenging time” for the couple. “Nancy is incredibly strong, and we are taking it day by day, but it’s been a lot to process,” McCartney shared, holding back tears. “I ask for privacy and understanding from everyone as we navigate this difficult moment. Our focus right now is on her health and well-being.”
