Melinda Gates divorced Bill Gates after 27 years of marriage. In a new interview, she says that the divorce was not healthy.
“I certainly believe in forgiveness, so I thought we had worked through some of that,” she said. “It wasn’t one moment or one specific thing that happened. There just came a point in time where there was enough there that I realized it just wasn’t healthy, and I couldn’t trust what we had.”
Melinda French Gates tells @GayleKing it’s possible to regain trust in a relationship, “but it’s very hard to get it back in any relationship.”

“That’s part of the grieving process. You’re grieving a loss of something you thought you had and thought you had for your lifetime,” she continued. “I do feel like I’m turning a page in the chapter. I mean, it’s 2022 and I’m actually really excited about what’s to come and life ahead for me.”
Last year, Bill said he regrets cheating on his wife.
“Certainly, I think everyone does [have regrets],” he told Anderson Cooper. “But it’s a time of reflection and at this point I need to go forward. My work is very important to me. Within the family we’ll heal as best we can and learn from what happened.”
Bill Gates explains his past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, saying they shared “several dinners” in which he hoped to raise “billions of philanthropy.”
