One of Melinda's reasons for breaking up with Bill Gates reveals

Last week, the married couple for 27 years announced that they were getting divorced through a statement on the social Twitter network.

We've made the decision to end our marriage. Over the last 27 years, we have raised three wonderful children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable people to live healthy and productive lives. We continue to have faith in that mission and we will continue our work together in the foundation, but we do not believe that we can grow together as a couple in this future phase of our life”, the statement said.

The Wall Street Journal published a bomb report and quoted “people familiar with the matter” about why this marriage ended.

Joe, Melinda first began considering a divorce in 2019 when Bill's ties to Jeffrey Epstein's billionaire were discovered in a 2019 New York Times report. The report specifically suggested that Bill and Epstein began a relationship after Epstein was convicted of sexual crimes in 2008.

Melinda apparently expressed concerns about her husband's encounter with Epstein, but he continued to see her.

Following that 2019 report on Bill and Epstein, Melinda reportedly began consultations with her advisers about a possible divorce due to their marriage, which was “irreversibly”.
