Beatle's ex-wives and widows

Here are the Beatles ex-wives and widows (plus one current wifey):

And here are some near Misses that deserve a mention:

Musical Chairs, Beatle Style:
~Paul McCartney and Jane Asher broke off their engagement right as John and Cynthia Lennon were on the brink of divorce. Then one day as John ran off on a getaway with Yoko, PMac arrived at Cynthia's door holding a single red rose and asked, "How about it, Cyn? How about you and me getting married now?"

~At John and Cynthia's wedding, when the preacher asked for the groom to step forward, Lennon had been momentarily distracted while standing there, and in his place George Harrison cheekily steeped forward to accept the bride.

~Before Ringo joined the Beatles he had been the drummer for Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. Mo Cox (later to become Maureen Starkey) had been dating Johnny Guitar from Rory Storm and the Hurricanes before she met Ringo. She was also having an affair with George Harrison while he was married to Pati Boyd.

~Iris Caldwell, sister of the lead singer of Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, had been the girlfriend of George Harrison and then later of Paul McCartney.
