‘Not something I’d wish on anyone’ — Melinda Gates opens up on divorce

Melinda Gates, the ex-wife of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, has spoken about their divorce in her new book ‘The Next Day’.
Bill and Melinda got married in 1994 but announced their divorce in 2021 — after 27 years together.
In a recent interview on ABC’s Good Morning America, Melinda revealed that she chose to discuss her divorce openly to be true to herself and acknowledge others who have experienced similar situations.
She described the separation as “painful” but also a “transition that had some growth in it”.
The 60-year-old also emphasised that divorce is a challenging experience for any family and expressed her hope that her story might offer some insight.
“It was important because if I am going to be my most authentic self. People knew I had gone through it,” she said.
“And it is hard on any family, so I write from my perspective. But it’s not something I would wish on anybody — and unfortunately so many families go through it.
“It is a big transition. And for me, while it was painful for sure, I ended up learning some lessons and there was some growth in there, too.”
Bill and Melinda first met in 1987, when she became a product manager at Microsoft. They married in Hawaii in 1994 and founded the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation — a nonprofit dedicated to combating global poverty and disease — in 2000.
Following their divorce, Melinda resigned from the foundation in May 2024.
The former couple shares three children: son Rory, 25, and daughters Phoebe, 22, and Jennifer, 28.
In January, Bill described his divorce from Melinda as his “biggest regret in life”.

According to the post, the woman had initially given birth at a hospital and returned home after being stitched.
However, a month later, she began to feel unwell and went back to the hospital, where doctors discovered another child still in her womb.
She was immediately put into labor again and successfully delivered the second baby.
The post read: “There’s a Xhosa lady on TT who gave birth to a child in March, got stitched and went home. Well, a month later, she felt something was wrong with her, it turns out there was another child in her womb. So, she gave birth again. She now has twins that are a month apart.”
As the post circulated online, concerned users flooded the comment section to share their thoughts and reactions.
See some reactions below:
@Melo_Malebo: “Idk what’s more shocking, the fact that twins can have different fathers or this one. Also, wasn’t the other one big enough for nurses to see there could still be someone in there ?”
@Fifi_Kumalo: “So the ultrasound didn’t catch the other baby njani? I know they hide but so confused.”
@Ralph_Nzuza: “When my lil sister got operated they cut the baby on the cheek after the surgery they forgot those scalpels inside her.”
@StraightupGal: “Surely this incompetence is illegal. One can die giving birth, what more when they have stitched your baby up for a couple of more weeks? Thanks to God she is safe and able to tell the tale.”
@mgwatyu_: “Must have delivered at a clinic via NVD, Not booked so no scan or late booker. Cannot be a cesarean section. The stiching must have just been for tears.”
@phuti_mathobela: “God works in mysterious ways some people get to experience his ways in this form while some people in their near death experience. He is God’s of miracles.”
