LONDON, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Paul McCartney has called a national newspaper to squash rumors that his wife and daughter do not get along, the BBC News reported Monday.
"I'm sick of people saying Heather and Stella don't get on," McCartney told London's Sun. "The truth is they do."
Rumors of a strained relationship between McCartney's wife, Heather Mills McCartney, and his fashion designer daughter, Stella McCartney, have circulated since McCartney and Mills, a campaigner against land mines, married in June 2002.
"My wife is a really good woman, but people don't like to accept that," McCartney said. "The truth is, Heather never seeks publicity for all the work she does with her land mines charity. And yet all that people do is knock her. They don't see all of the things that she does without asking for any thanks or recognition."
The couple has one child, Beatrice Milly, who was born in October 2003. McCartney has four other children from his marriage to Linda, who died in 1998 from cancer.
