Melinda Gates Reportedly Meeting With Divorce Lawyers Since 2019 - Slate

Although the couple hasn’t publicly said what led to the split, sources tell the paper that Melinda Gates was concerned about her husband’s association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Records reviewed by the Journal showed Gates and her lawyers held numerous calls in October 2019, which just happened to be when the New York Times reported Gates met numerous times with Epstein.

Melinda Gates had already expressed concerns about Epstein years earlier, telling her husband that she was uncomfortable with him in 2013.

The Daily Beast had already reported those concerns, claiming Melinda Gates told friends she was uncomfortable around Epstein and didn’t want anything to do with him.
