Melinda Gates Says Bill's Jeffrey Epstein Relationship Contributed to Divorce

Melinda French Gates said Jeffrey Epstein’s friendship with ex-husband Bill contributed to their divorce. Speaking with ‘CBS Mornings’ on Thursday, the philanthropist recalled telling the Microsoft co-founder that she didn’t like that he’d met with the convicted sex offender, who died in 2019. Bill and Melinda announced the end of their 27-year marriage in May 2021. The two share three children together.
