Bill Gates: this agreement with his wife to continue to see his ex
After 27 years of marriage, Bill Gates and Melinda announced that they would end their union on Monday, May 3, 2021. During all these years of marriage, the founder of Microsoft had made a pact with his wife that allowed him to maintain a relationship with his ex-girlfriend.
Bill and Melinda Gates, it's over! The former lovers announced the end of their union after 27 years of marriage, Monday, May 3, 2021, via a press release. "After much thought and hard work on our relationship, we made the decision to end our marriage," we read. According to their words, they no longer had the feeling of "being able to grow as a couple". It would be Melinda who would be at the origin of the divorce request. If the couple were very happy together, one story must have made Melinda suffer terribly. Indeed, according to information from Hola !, by marrying Melinda, Bill Gates had made an agreement with her. He had asked her to be able to keep a link with his ex-girlfriend, Ann Winblad.
Before meeting Melinda, the businessman had lived with this software entrepreneur for three years. Their relationship had taken in 1987, but they had remained very close. "Each spring, the Gates couple spent a long weekend with Ann Winblad at their cottage in the Outer Banks of North Carolina," the tabloid reported. In addition to this tradition of vacationing together, the couple had partnered with her at Hummer Winblad Venture Partners, a venture capital firm focused on investing in software.
Bill Gates struggled to project himself into marriage to Melinda
While Bill Gates fell in love with Melinda after the romantic relationship he had with Ann Winblad, we learned in the Netflix documentary dedicated to him that he had had a hard time projecting himself into a marriage with Melinda. . "He had a decision to make, he didn't know if he could commit to me and run Microsoft at the same time," Melinda said in Inside Bill's Brain. After these revelations, we can now wonder if he really hesitated because he had to manage Microsoft or because he still had his ex in mind.
