Heather Mills-McCartney will allegedly settle for a divorce pay-out of slightly more than $18 Million

The ex-model, who split from Sir Paul McCartney in May after four years of marriage, wants a quick, painless settlement - despite the fact she reportedly could have battled for as much as $368 million.

A friend of Heather's told The People newspaper: "Heather is satisfied with the deal being discussed.

"She was only too aware that she could have gone into battle for a lot more.

But she is still devastated over the break-up and is not in any mood for a bitter legal row."

The friend added: "She has no intention of putting up a fight. She is far too upset to even think about going down that road."

Heather also hopes to keep the split amicable for the sake of the couple's two-year-old daughter, Beatrice.

The pal revealed: "Heather and Paul have been in regular contact since they split up in May.

"They have constantly reminded each other that Bea should always remain their number one priority throughout the finalization of their divorce."

They have to remind each other that their daughter is the number one priority? If this is true I bet Paul is relieved, especially given all the media over the Heather Mills sex revelations.

Heather's getting a bum rap. It was supposed to be a sex manual and she was only 19.

Why are these photos coming out now? Is it because of the divorce negotiations?

@lovemondays, uhm this article doesn't even mention the photos, but with all the gold digging accusations Heather would want to just get out of the news anyway.

She should have thought about this when she got married at the first place.

Getting 18 million for doing absolutely nothing is still to much.
