Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and his wife Melinda Gates tweeted on Monday they are getting a divorce.
“After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage,” a statement from the billionaire philanthropist couple, tweeted from both of their personal Twitter accounts.
“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,” the statement said.
“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 this next phase of our lives. We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life.”

Why are they ending their marriage?
I think their tweet gives clue. They no longer believe they “can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives.”
Their daughter Jennifer Gates, 25, said the family has been going through “a challenging stretch of time,” according to an article by Nypost
I don’t like divorce. I wish they resolve the matter. But sometimes, divorce could be the only solution. Am not sure of what they might have been going through
