Billionaire Bill Gates' ex-wife Melinda French-Gates revealed the main reasons for her divorce from her husband in her memoir. This was reported by the Sunday Times.
Melinda stated that the final incident that led to the decision to divorce was an article published in the New York Times. This article provided information about Bill Gates' connections with financial expert Jeffrey Epstein, who was accused of running a criminal network and sexually exploiting underage girls.
“This article raised serious questions about Bill's behavior. These questions indicated that he was not faithful to our marriage or our family values,” Melinda wrote in her book.
In an interview with the Sunday Times, Melinda emphasized that the decision to divorce was not a mistake but a necessity of life. “If a person cannot remain true to their values even in their closest relationships, divorce is necessary,” she noted.
Previously, in an interview with The Times, Bill Gates described the divorce as one of the biggest failures of his life. Melinda, however, refrained from commenting on this and emphasized, “He has his own life now, and I have my own path. And I am very happy.”
Melinda also previously stated that she considers the divorce one of the significant events in her life: “At the time of the divorce, I knew how to live with myself, and that was the most important thing,” she explained.
