The pair strolled along a windswept beach in the posh Hamptons resort on New York’s Long Island. They chatted warmly over breakfast and shared late-night dinners and cocktails at restaurants.
They spent time at each other’s mansions – six miles apart on the ritzy millionaires’ playground. And at one point, 65-year-old Macca put his arm around Nancy after he drove her home – and they kissed tenderly. Macca was also seen shopping at an exclusive lingerie store before meeting the classy socialite.
She wed Bruce Blakeman, a commissioner of the New York Port Authority and a partner in a top New York law firm, in 1984 – and they have a teenage son, Arlen. The couple, seen in New York society as a powerful political team, are both active Republicans and donated money to George Bush’s presidential campaign in 2004.
Nancy is vice president of her wealthy family’s successful transport firm based in Elizabeth, New Jersey. She was known as Nancy Shevell Blakeman but has recently dropped her husband’s name.
