Bill And Melinda Gates Announce Divorce After 27 Years

Bill and Melinda Gates are getting a divorce, the two announced
on Twitter Monday afternoon.

“After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our
relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage,” a
joint statement read. “Over the last 27 years, we have raised three
incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the
world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives.

“We continue to share a belief in that mission and will continue
our work together at the foundation, but we can no longer believe
we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our
lives.”

Last year Bill Gates stepped down from Microsoft’s board as the
coronavirus became a force around the world.

He began spending more time on the nonprofit Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation alongside Melinda Gates. The two are co-chairs and
trustees of the foundation, which launched in 2000.

Bill and Melinda Gates met at Microsoft.

She had been a marketing manager at the software company.

Despite the end of their marriage, Gates said they would
continue to collaborate on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The Gates’ have three children together.
