Bill Gates Reveals 'Miserable' Divorce from Ex-Wife Melinda 'Was the Mistake I Regret the Most'

Bill Gates is speaking candidly about his divorce from Melinda French Gates, calling it "the mistake I regret the most."

In an interview with The Times of London published on Saturday, Jan. 25, the former Microsoft exec, 69, opened up about his 2021 divorce from his wife of 27 years, revealing that one of his biggest goals in life was to replicate his own parents' 45-year marriage.

"I encouraged Melinda to be a little calmer than my mother was, but we were both quite driven," he told the outlet, reflecting on how he tried to make his own marriage reflect his parents'. "I spent more time with the kids than my dad did, but the ratio was still 10:1, with Melinda doing most things for the kids. We had a great time."

Bill said he believes there is a "certain wonderfulness to spending your entire adult life with one person," especially when you share children together, as well as fond memories and shared projects.
