Why I divorced Bill Gates – Melinda

Melinda French Gates has revealed why she “had to leave” her marriage to billionaire ex-husband Bill Gates. 
 
According to her, she left because the marriage lacked honesty. She said the lack of honesty impacted their ability to “have intimacy.” 

Melinda revealed this while answerign questions from Late Show host, Stephen Colbert. 
 


The 60-year-old walked out of her 27-year marriage to Bill, the founder of Microsoft, in 2021. 
 


Melinda has recently stepped back into the spotlight to promote her new memoir, in which she candidly reflects on the major transitions in her life, including her high-profile divorce. 

“I learned to have a trusted relationship, which is what I wanted in marriage, both partners have to be honest with one another,” Melinda said. 

“And if you can’t, you can’t have intimacy and you can’t have trust. So in the end, I had to go.” 

 

Melinda and Bill have three children together.
