In a recent interview with the Times of London, bill gates stated that his divorce from his ex-wife Melinda is perhaps one of his greatest regrets. The co-founder of microsoft admitted that while he has made a lot of blunders, none have affected him as much as this one. After 27 years of marriage, the pair has moved on and appears to have found love again.
 
Bill Gates is presently seeing Paula Hurd, the widow of former Oracle CEO Mark Hurd, at the age of 69. He still maintains a strong connection with his ex-wife, Melinda, with whom he has three children, even after moving on. In an interview with The Times of London, Gates talked about how marriage and family provided him with the stability that kept him "grounded" when he was creating his trillion-dollar business.

His statement was, "I'm more cheerful now," although he acknowledged that divorce was "the mistake I regret the most." According to the microsoft co-founder, his divorce from Melinda ranks as his greatest mistake.
 
He remarked, "There are others, but none that matter." "Melinda and I went through a terrible divorce for at least two years."
 
For the benefit of their kids and grandkids, Melinda and bill gates have managed to keep their good relationship going even though they are both now seeing other people.
 
"Melinda and I still spend time together as a family," Bill revealed. There are usually family gatherings because we have three kids and two grandkids. Their children are doing well and have great morals, he said. After being apart for a year, the ex-couple, who had three children—Jennifer (28), Rory (25), and Phoebe (22)—announced their divorce in May 2021.
 
Bill Gates, however, once said that Melinda had a lot of lovers in their early years, which he called "relatively casual." In the 2019 Netflix documentary series 'Inside Bill's Brain,' the ex-couple disclosed that they both had a relaxed approach to dating when they first started dating.
 
"I had microsoft, and she had other boyfriends," Bill remarked. "Hey, we're not really serious about each other, are we?" we thought. We will not demand time from one another. Gates' thoughts about their relationship and the ensuing divorce are clarified by this background.
