‘Irretrievably broken’: Bill and Melinda Gates’ divorce
According to
The Washington Post, Bill acknowledged through a spokesperson that he had an extramarital affair with a Microsoft employee, which Microsoft said led its board to investigate the “intimate relationship” shortly before he resigned from the board last year.
Many reports wonder whether the investigation or the affair, which took place two decades ago, played a part in the decision for Bill and his wife of 27 years, Melinda to get divorced.
In papers submitted, Melinda called the marriage “irretrievably broken”.
“There was an affair almost 20 years ago which ended amicably,” Bill’s spokeswoman, Bridgitt Arnold, said in an e-mailed statement according to the publication.
