During an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" in 2019, Paul McCartney held up his phone to show viewers a photo of his grandchildren, per the Daily Mail. According to McCartney, he has eight grandchildren who call him "Grandude." "One of them, who shall remain nameless, Beckett, just said one day, 'Hey Grandude.' I said, 'That's a great name,' and that's how it started," McCartney told Colbert, per the Daily Mail. McCartney's eldest daughter, Mary, has four sons – Arthur, Elliot, Sam, and Sid. The musician's second daughter, Stella, has four children — Miller, Bailey, Beckett, and Reiley, according to the Daily Mail.
In 2019, McCartney gushed about his life as a grandfather during an appearance on "The Chris Evans Breakfast Show," saying that he adores his grandkids and life as a "grandad," according to The Irish News. "And we spend quite a good bit of time together. We don't live near each other, but we go on holiday together, like Christmas," McCartney said, before sharing that sometimes, he serves on the school roundup committee and picks his grandkids up at the end of the day. A great departure from his musical career, if we do say so.
