Bill and Melinda Gates have announced their divorce after 27 years of marriage, saying “we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple”.
The BBC further quoted them as saying: “After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have decided to end our marriage,” the pair wrote on Twitter.
They first met in the 1980s when Melinda joined Bill’s Microsoft firm.
They have three children and jointly run the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
