Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills’ are finally divorced—as pronounced by a London judge today. High Court Justice Hugh Bennet granted the pair a decree nisi, the final step to the finalized divorce under British law, due to the fact the couple had been living separate for two years now.

“On the petition for divorce presented by Miss Heather Mills, I pronounce the decree nisi of divorce on the grounds of two years’ separate,” the judge said. “Sir Paul McCartney has consented to the decree being granted on these grounds.”

Neither McCartney nor Mills attended the proceeding. In six weeks and a day, the terms of the split announced in March will be made final. Bennett awarded Mills $48.6 million, $34,000 for each day she and the former Beatle star were married.

The activist and former glamour model and singer-songwriter have a four year old daughter together named Beatrice.
