Bill Gates divorce: Melinda calls forgiveness 'work in progress'

In a recent interview, philanthropist Melinda French Gates spoke about the lengthy process of forgiveness and rebuilding trust after betrayal. She explained that while she considers herself good at forgiveness, it is a journey that cannot be expedited.

Melinda shared that regaining trust, especially after her marriage, was challenging, and she initially doubted if it would ever be possible for her again. She acknowledged that forgiveness is a personal process, stating that while she seeks it with others, it does not always necessitate maintaining contact.

When asked directly about forgiving her ex-husband, Bill Gates, Melinda described the situation as a "work in progress." She expressed that she is "getting there" but kept the specifics private. The divorce from Bill Gates was announced in 2021 after 27 years of marriage.

Melinda also addressed the resurfacing allegations concerning Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein, calling them a source of "unbelievable sadness." She reflected on these details bringing back painful memories from her marriage, but affirmed that she has moved on from those times. She suggested that questions about these matters should be answered by those involved, not by her, expressing happiness to be free from that past.
