Many were shocked whenBill and Melinda Gates announced they were divorcingafter nearly three decades of marriage.
In fact, by the time Melinda filed for divorce, there was already a separation agreement in place.
That doesn’t mean the split was easy for either of them.
Melinda opened up to Gayle King onCBS Morningsthat she has shed many tears over the demise of her marriage.
How can I get up?
How am I going to move forward?
“Every marriage as the kids leave the house will go through a transition.
Mine sadly went through this transition called divorce,” he told London’sSunday Times.
“But from my point of view it was a great marriage.
I wouldn’t have changed it.
You know, I wouldn’t choose to marry someone else.”
The couple, who wed without a prenuptial agreement, finalized their divorce in April 2021.
The details of their settlement were not made public.
Instead, she will focus her charitable endeavors through other philanthropies.
“My giving will continue to focus on the people for whom the barriers to equality are highest.”
