Melinda Gates is dating again, ‘dipping her toe’ back into the world of romance less than a year after announcing her split from husband Bill.
Melinda, 57, told CBS Mornings Gayle King that she is ‘definitely’ open to finding love again and has already met some suitors.
‘It’s interesting at this point,’ she giggled during an interview with King that aired on Thursday morning.
‘You know, I’m dipping my toe in that water a little bit. I feel like, I’m in a really good place. And I’m really, really excited about my life and about the world—the work ahead,’ she said.
Bill, 66, has not commented on the divorce publicly.
She also trashed her ex-husband Bill for his questionable friendship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and revealed that he continued to meet with him despite her having ‘nightmares’ about him.
In her first interview since her divorce from the billionaire last year, Melinda told CBS Mornings that she insisted on meeting Epstein back in 2011 because she wanted to see ‘who this man was’.
‘I did not like that he had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein. I made that clear to him. I also met Jeffrey Epstein exactly one time. I wanted to see who this man was and I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door.
‘He was abhorrent, evil personified. I had nightmares about it afterwards. That’s why my heart breaks for these young women. That’s how I felt, and I am an older woman. He was awful.’
She told host Gayle King that Bill had to answer the many times he met Epstein, and even suggested that it contributed to the divorce.
‘It was not one thing, it was many things [that led to the divorce]. Any of the questions remaining about what Bill’s relationship with him was… those are for Bill to answer. I made it very clear how I felt about him.’
Melinda also revealed that she and Bill are not friends but are ‘friendly’ and work together, and she suggested he had more than one affair throughout their 27-year-marriage.
