Melinda Gates Breaks Silence On Divorce From Bill: I Couldn’t Trust What We Had’
For the first time since Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates announced their decision to end their near-three decade-old marriage, the 57-year-old philanthropist spoke about the breakup with CBS Morning. After Gayle King brought up the affair, Bill, 66, admitted to following the divorce announcement, Melinda said that their split wasn’t due to a single instance. “I certainly believe in forgiveness, so I thought we had worked through some of that,” she said. “It wasn’t one moment or one specific thing that happened. There just came a point in time where there was enough there that I realized it just wasn’t healthy, and I couldn’t trust what we had.”
