\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tBill Gates and Melinda Gates were married for more than two decades until their 2021 separation. \u201cAfter a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage,\u201d Melinda wrote in a statement shared that May. \u201cOver the last 27 years, we have raised [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
In 2022 Gates\u2019 ex-wife Melinda French Gates<\/strong> cited his alleged relationship<\/a> with Epstein as one of the factors that led to their divorce. \u201cIt\u2019s not one thing, it was many things. But I did not like that he\u2019d had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein,\u201d she told CBS Mornings<\/em> at the time. \u201cI made that clear to him.\u201d<\/p>\nFrench Gates also told Gayle King<\/strong> she met with Epstein \u201cexactly one time\u201d so she could get an understanding of what he was like. \u201cI regretted it from the second I stepped in the door,\u201d she added. \u201cHe was abhorrent. He was evil personified. I had nightmares about it afterwards. \u2026 It was awful, and he was awful.\u201d<\/p>\nAuthorities began to investigate<\/a> allegations of sexual abuse against Epstein in 2005. Three years later he was convicted of hiring an underage girl for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute. He spent 13 months in prison before he was arrested again in July 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking involving minors. He died by suicide while incarcerated at the age of 66 one month after his arrest.<\/p>\nHis friendship with Epstein is not the only relationship Gates is revisiting. In an interview with The Times of London<\/em><\/a> published on Saturday, January 25, Gabes described his divorce from French Gates as \u201cthe mistake I regret the most.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nThank You!<\/h3>\n

He tried to imitate his own parents\u2019 marriage, he added, with his own. \u201cI encouraged Melinda to be a little calmer than my mother was, but we were both quite driven. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
