On CNN, Bill Gates talks about his divorce and calls it a “sad milestone”. The subject of Epstein was also raised.
Bill Gates, 65, spoke about his relationship with Melinda French Gates, 56. Gates calls the divorce after 27 years “definitely a very sad milestone”: “Melinda is a great person and the end of the partnership we had is a source of great, personal sadness.” At the same time, Gates emphasizes that they will try to continue working together on their foundation.
Meetings with Epstein were “a big mistake”
Journalist Anderson Cooper (54) also asks Gates if the divorce is related to Gates contact with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein (1953-2019). Gates doesn’t answer the question directly, but admits, “It was a huge mistake hanging out with him.” There were several dinners together because he had hoped that Epstein would be able to find donors for his goal of global health. “When it looked like it wasn’t going to work, that relationship ended,” said Gates.
The divorce of Bill and Melinda Gates has been official since Monday, the common property has been divided as in the previously concluded separation agreement. The ex-spouses have three children together: daughters Jennifer (25), Phoebe (18) and son Rory (22). There has been intense speculation about the reasons since the divorce was announced on May 3rd. Gates did not comment on CNN: “It is a time for reflection and at this point I have to look ahead.”
