Bill Gates Discusses Regret, New Relationship in Memoir

Bill Gates recently acknowledged his regret over divorcing Melinda French Gates, calling it his biggest mistake, but he has since moved on and is now in a relationship with Paula Hurd. Gates expressed his happiness with Hurd, highlighting their shared experiences attending events like the Olympics. The couple, who started dating in early 2023, have been seen together at numerous high-profile events, confirming their relationship publicly. Gates' divorce from Melinda in 2021 ended their 27-year marriage, which was marked by collaborative work with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Melinda, who is also dating entrepreneur Philip Vaughn, has expressed her disapproval of Gates’ past association with Jeffrey Epstein, which contributed to their marital issues. Despite the divorce, Gates continues to focus on philanthropic work and has released a memoir, 'Source Code: My Beginnings,' which acknowledges Hurd's supportive role.
