Although there was growing speculation into the pair's blossoming connection, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed in 2023 that Bill had in fact found love again two years after his divorce from his wife of 27 years. It's no surprise that the paths of the Microsoft founder and Oracle executive - both prominent Silicon Valley figures - and his wife had crossed over the years.
The billionaire also spoke of his ex-wife's resignation from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation last year - one of the largest charitable institutions in the world - and how he didn't only lose his partner, but their joint book club, his meditation buddy and walking partner 'When Melinda and I met, I was fairly successful but not ridiculously successful - that came during the time that we were together. So, she saw me through a lot.'
'My business career, though, there's been some up and downs, has been incredibly phenomenal,' he added. 'My kids are phenomenal. So it's even hard for me to complain about things.' The philanthropist told Fortune magazine in October of 2024 that the Covid-19 pandemic helped give her the 'privacy to do what she needed to do.' She also said in 2021 that her husband's affair with a Microsoft employee in 2000 had broken the 'trust' in their marriage.
Bill insisted that the pair never had 'any business relationship or friendship' and their meetings were solely to discuss philanthropic ventures.The Gates' divorce settlement is America's second-most expensive ever after Bezos' $38.3billion split with ex-wife MacKenzie Bezos. Although Bill and Hurd's relationship is now public and, of course, 'serious', Melinda has also reportedly found a new man.
