well, yes they were obviously separated but legally, they were still indeed married and chris may actually still be wearing her ring on her left hand in that clip..hard to see clearly but i do think it's there. which is quite passive aggressive haha. she wore it until practically the last minute-- many shots from that time, she's got it on her left hand. (i spent my teen years looking for it lol.) here are quotes from the article where she said they hadn't divorced officially before that-- was finalized beginning of march, tho she said 'it was reported we had divorced 2 years ago.' he did call her his ex wife but i'm nitpicking in terms of legalities
“SINGER Christine McVie opened champagne when I went to her home in the Hollywood Hills on March 21, 1978... She was celebrating her divorce from bass guitarist John just three weeks before — "It was a matter of trying to be super-mature about it and we had to keep our finer feelings covered up. We never actually got around to making our divorce final until now, although it was reported we had divorced two years ago. John started going out with a girl called Julie, who used to work for our former business manager. They are getting married on April 16 (1978) and that’s why John wanted an official divorce."
think john actually got married on the 19th though.
