Looking back at his 27-year marriage to Melinda, Gates acknowledged the challenges of their divorce but said he wouldn’t change the experience, especially the work they did and their children together.
Despite the separation, they continue to co-parent their three children and share family moments, with Gates emphasizing the positive values they’ve instilled in their kids.
Gates also reflected on his childhood and the influence his parents had on his journey. As he turns 70 this year, alongside Microsoft’s 50th anniversary, he recalled the luck he had with supportive parents.
His relationship with Hurd, a philanthropist and businesswoman, first garnered attention in 2022, following his divorce. Hurd, previously married to the late Oracle CEO Mark Hurd, has been a part of Gates’ life as he embraces a fulfilling phase of work and personal growth.
