Bill Gates has admitted that his separation from Melinda Gates after 27 years of marriage will forever be his greatest regret.
In an interview with the Times of London that was published on Saturday, he acknowledged that he is happier today, but he also said that the breakdown of his marriage is “the mistake I most regret.
According to the 69-year-old Microsoft co-founder, the divorce is “at the top of the list,” even though he may have other failures.
“There are others, but none that matters he stated. “The divorce thing was miserable for me and Melinda for at least two years.”
The pair who are both dating other people now have maintained a friendly relationship following their split.
“Melinda and I still see each other we have three kids and two grandchildren, so there are family events. The kids are doing well. They have good values,” Bill said.
Bill and Melinda married in 1994 and share kids Jennifer, 28, Rory, 25, and Phoebe, 22. The couple confirmed their split in May 2021, though they’d been separated for a year before the announcement.
