I had some reasons I just couldn't stay in that marriage: Melinda on divorce with Bill

Melinda French Gates in an interview spoke about her "unbelievably painful" divorce with ex-husband Bill. She said, "I had some reasons I just couldn't stay in that marriage anymore…But the odd thing about COVID is that it gave me the privacy to do what I needed to do." They announced their divorce in May 2021, after 27 years of marriage.
