Wednesday, April 16, 2025 - Melinda French Gates has opened up about the emotional decision behind ending her 27-year marriage to billionaire Microsoft founder, Bill Gates.
In a candid interview with The Late Show host Stephen
Colbert, the philanthropist and author shared that her decision to leave came
down to one powerful reason: a lack of honesty in the marriage.
“At the heart of a trusted relationship, which is what I
wanted in marriage, is honesty,” Melinda explained.
“Without it, there’s no intimacy and no trust. So in the
end, I had to go.”
The 60-year-old mother of three filed for divorce in 2021
and has since returned to the spotlight, promoting her new memoir that explores
the personal transitions she’s faced, including the challenges of navigating
life after a very public split.
Melinda’s reflections have resonated deeply with many,
offering a rare, graceful glimpse into what it truly means to choose growth and
peace.
