Melinda French Gates has opened up about her decision to divorce her longtime husband, Bill Gates, after 27 years of marriage. The 60-year-old philanthropist revealed that despite the high stakes the divorce had brought about, her decision ultimately came from a personal place. “When that voice would come — and it would come at different times because of things that had happened outside the marriage that I would later come to learn about — I kept pushing it away,” French Gates said on the “How to Fail with Elizabeth Day” podcast Wednesday.
