Microsoft founder may have had an open relationship during his marriage
Bill Gates published, a few days ago, a statement on his Twitter account in which he said that both he and Melinda Gates had made the decision to separate after 27 years of marriage and three children together. Shortly after he shared this statement, Melinda Gates has announced that her divorce is a fact. "We cannot grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives," they said in the statement, in which it also stated that they will continue to work together at the Foundation, what they have in common.
The possible reason that their marriage has lasted so many years is that they have tried to be honest with each other throughout it and now through some court documents that have been leaked to the TMZ portal it is known that it was she who requested the divorce and that he expressed in said document that it was irretrievably broken. Also in this document you can know that they did not have a prenuptial agreement in force and that they will divide their assets with a separation agreement.

Before the two met in 1987, the Microsoft founder had been dating Anne Winblad, who was a software entrepreneur and venture capitalist.
"Even now, Gates has an agreement with his wife that he and Winblad can keep a holiday tradition alive," can be read in the biography of Bill Gates written by Walter Isaacson. The truth is that every spring for more than a decade Cage spent a weekend with his ex at his beach hut on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
“We share our thoughts about the world and about ourselves. And we marvel at how, like two outdated young people, we began a great adventure outside a little-known industry and took us to the center of an amazing universe, "he said in one of his speeches a few years ago.
