Bill Gate and Melinda
Two months after Melinda spoke to the media about her healing journey following her divorce from Bill Gates, Bill has also decided to open up. Bill, the 66-year-old co-founder of Microsoft, to the Sunday Times in an interview recently that he too is healing.
Gates told the publication: “I’m also grieving the same way she is…You know, we grew up together. I was a young 38-year-old, and she was a mature 28-year old [when we married], and over those next few years, in terms of what we learned together, what went well, what didn’t go well… I mean, that’s more than half my adult life….We did a lot together.”
Even though Bill and Melinda are now divorced, they still work together through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which they started together in 2000. Bill told the Sunday Times he feels they can still work together.
Gates said, “Melinda and I… I feel lucky that I get to work with her. And we have the annual employee meeting at the Foundation and the Giving Pledge and the annual meeting in June that she and I host together.”
