Bill Gates and Melinda announce divorce after 27 years of marriage


Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and his wife Melinda Gates on Monday announced that they have decided to part ways mutually after 27 long and successful years of marriage.

In a joint statement the couple announced, “Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives."

The entire statement read, “After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage. Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives. We continue to share a belief in that mission and we will continue our work together at the foundation, but we no longer believe we can grow as a couple in this next phase of our lives. We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life.”
