Bill and Melinda Gates say they are getting divorced after 27 years of marriage, saying “we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple.”<\/p>\n

\n
\n

“After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage,” the pair wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n

The BBC<\/a> in its repot, said, the two met in the late 1980s when Melinda joined Bill’s Microsoft firm. They have three children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

They jointly run the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

The organisation has spent billions fighting causes such as infectious diseases and encouraging vaccinations in children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Gates’ – along with investor Warren Buffett – are behind the Giving Pledge, which calls on billionaires to commit to giving away the majority of their wealth to good causes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Bill Gates is the fourth wealthiest person in the world, according to Forbes, and is worth $124 billion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He made his money through the firm he co-founded in the 1970s, Microsoft, the world’s biggest software company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The pair both posted the statement announcing their divorce on Twitter.<\/p>\n

\"Gates\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives,” it read.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“We continue to share a belief in that mission and will continue our work together at the foundation, but we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in the next phase of our lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
