Bill Gates has coded a new romance.
Just a few weeks after reflecting on his regrets surrounding the end of his 27-year marriage to Melinda French Gates, the Microsoft co-founder shared rare insight into his dating life—and even gave his new love Paula Hurd a shoutout.
“That’s right, I’m lucky to have a serious girlfriend,” Bill said during an interview with Today on Feb. 4. “Her name’s Paula.”
The Source Code author, who first sparked romance rumors with Paula in 2023, also detailed the quality time they spend together.
“So we’re having fun,” Bill, 69, continued. “Going to the Olympics and lots of great things.”
Bill was previously married to Melinda from 1994-2021. During their decades-long relationship, the Microsoft co-founder and the philanthropist welcomed children Jennifer Gates Nassar, 28, Rory Gates, 25, and Phoebe Gates, 22.
Indeed, tennis has played a major role in Bill and Paula’s relationship.
