According to reports, Paul McCartney was dumped live on television. Paul was a member of the biggest band in the world in 1968, and Jane Asher was a well-known actress and a bright star of the big screen. But Jane decided to end her relationship after five years. John Lennon’s wife, Cynthia Lennon, who is also Paul’s bandmate and best friend, recounted how the young singer fell in love with Jane very soon.

Paul “fell like a ton of bricks” for Jane, she wrote. She was seated on Paul’s knee when I met her for the first time at her house. I was immediately struck by Jane’s beauty and well-defined features. Her pale complexion stood out sharply in contrast to her dark clothing and sparkling hair, which was a mass of Titian-colored hair that cascaded down her face and shoulders.

“Paul was definitely bursting with pride over his new wife. Jane Asher was a wonderful prize for Paul. Jane was already pretty well-known at the age of 17. She made a kid star appearance in the TV show Robin Hood and continued to make appearances on BBC’s Juke Box Jury. Paul was utterly smitten with Jane. The affluent beauty introduced the star to a different culture than his own.

Later, he recalled meeting her: “We had a portrait shot with Jane Asher for the magazine and we all fancied her. She was sent by the Radio Times to cover a concert we were in at the Royal Albert Hall. Because we had only ever seen her on black and white television in the Juke Box Jury episode, we had assumed she was blonde. However, she was actually a redhead. So the response was, “Wow, you’re a redhead.

We were boyfriend and girlfriend for a considerable amount of time after I tried to pull her, and I was successful. In a relationship from 1963 to 1968, Paul was with Jane. But when their relationship came to an end, his gaze started to stray. Paul began an illicit relationship with American actress Francie Schwartz in 1968. When Jane arrived home early from an acting gig, she discovered the Beatle in bed with Francie. She stormed out of the room in shock and told her mother to come get her belongings. Soon later, Jane made an appearance on the television program Dee Time, where she answered questions regarding her friendship with the Beatles. Millions of people watched the show, and she said to them: “I haven’t broken it off, but it is broken off, finished.”

This heartbreaking statement was immediately followed by another that was much more heartbreaking. We still see each other and still love each other, but it hasn’t worked out, she continued. Maybe when we’re about 70, we’ll run into each other again and get married.

Since then, Paul has been open about his connection with Jane. We had a terrific relationship, he remarked. There were enough opportunities to maintain a reasonable connection even while travelling. To be honest, during that time, women were marginalized. It would now be considered quite chauvinist of us.
