Stella and Mary spent much of their childhood on the road with their parents on Wings tours around the world, but from an early age, Stella wanted to be a designer. In 1971, just before the McCartneys started Wings, they had their second daughter Stella, and if you've ever watched any red carpets, who'll recognize her name as one of the most famous fashion designers in recent years.
Outside her work she has four children from two separate marriages. She has also produced two vegetarian cookbooks.

She, like her father, is a firm vegetarian, and co-founder of Meat Free Monday and an ambassador of Green Monday, a non-profit organization that supports mean-free living.
Mary is also a firm charity worker, as she has had campaigns for breast cancer (which Eastman died of in 1998), and took photos for The Constellation Smile project. She also runs the photo department of McCartney's company MPL Communications. In 2001, she produced a documentary called Wingspan, about her father and Eastman's band Wings. She was a photo editor at the music-book publisher Omnibus Press, and her first photography exhibit was called Off Pointe: A Photographic Study of The Royal Ballet After Hours. Mary went on to become a renowned photographer. Her mother instantly gave her a Leica R, and ever since Mary has never stopped taking pictures. According to The Times, Mary decided, most likely after seeing her mother's famous photography work, that she wanted to become a photographer as well, and phoned her mother about it. Mary is the baby under McCartney's coat in the picture on the back cover of McCartney's self-titled first solo album, and the picture was taken by Eastman herself. When the couple wed in 1969, they were already expecting their first child, Mary, who was named after McCartney's mother. According to , Heather gained the famous McCartney name and went on to become a notable photographer like her mother and a potter, which lead her to start a line of houseware items in 1999. Before they had children of their own, McCartney adopted Eastman's daughter Heather, whom she had from her previous marriage. McCartney married Eastman in 1969, just as his band The Beatles, one of the biggest bands in the world (and they still are), were breaking up and going their separate ways and entering into solo careers.
