Bill Gates Introduces New Girlfriend To Three Children, Proving Things Are Getting Serious

Bill Gates and his lover, Paula Hurd, are taking great strides in their relationship! 

After the Microsoft co-founder divorced his wife, Melinda Gates, he got romantically linked with Paula, who is the widow of Mark Hurd. Whether Bill and Paula plan on tying the knot in the nearest future, they just proved that the affair is getting serious. 

Undeniably, the first step into settling down with a partner is introducing them to the family, and the businessman just did that with his partner! 

It seemingly appears that the business magnate sees a future with his lover as he introduces his woman to his three kids, Jennifer, Phoebe, and Rory, and his son-in-law, Nayel Nassar. According to PageSix, the casual and intimate meeting happened at the Boucherie restaurant in New York City’s West Village on Sunday. For the occasion, the group opted to rock casual outfits.

The Tech billionaire wore a gray pullover paired with jeans and added a blue baseball cap and sneakers. Hurd stuck with the casual theme, too, as she wore black pants with a matching blouse and jacket. She accessorized her outfit with a black clutch and studs. 

The tech billionaire’s kids also kept their outfits minimal. His oldest daughter, Jennifer, donned a blue jean jacket and pink pants, and her equestrian husband, Nassar, wore a gray sweater with blue jeans and black sneakers. On the other hand, the youngest, Phoebe, put on a black-and-white striped top alongside light blue jeans and white sneakers. While Rory opted for a two-tone blue puffer jacket and beige pants with maroon 

The meeting, however, had only Bill’s kids in attendance, as Paula’s two daughters were absent from the meeting. Regardless, the meeting indicated that their relationship was getting serious. Recall that a source close to the duo confirmed their dating status in February this year after sparking dating rumors. 

The two had initially met in 2015 at a Sports event. At that time, they were still married to their previous partners. In a shot captured by paparazzi from the event, the former tech executive and her late husband, Mark, were seen enjoying the tennis match while Gates was seated not so far from them. 

However, the Microsoft co-founder and Paula finally got acquainted and started their love affair. Since then, the twosome enjoyed every bit of their love life and seemingly bonded over sports. Once, the duo was previously seen having a great time as they watched the Men’s Singles Final at the Australian Open in Melbourne. 

Still spicing up their affair with vacations, the couple allegedly traveled to Sydney, where Gates met Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. During their stay in Sydney, they took a romantic stroll around the city and admired the beautiful views of the harbor, and checked out the famed Opera House.

While the 67-year-old philanthropist has found love with Hurd, his ex-wife, Melinda, has also found new love. Last November, The Blast reported that Melinda publicly acknowledged dating former Fox News Channel correspondent Jon Du Pre. Jon worked for Fox News Channel in the late ‘90s and early 2000s.

Although it’s unknown how they first met, Melinda and Jon were reportedly seen together enjoying a football game eight months after Melinda’s divorce. Additionally, the new lovers were seen hanging out with some members of their families at Pelican Hill, a five-star hotel in Newport Beach.

When Bill and Melinda called it quits on their marriage, the Tech mogul openly talked about the divorce toll on him. 

“I know a lot of people are curious about a subject closer to home: my divorce,” he said. “I can’t deny that it’s been a year of great personal sadness for me. Adapting to change is never easy, no matter what it is. I’ve been impressed by how resilient my loved ones—especially my kids—have been in this challenging time.”

Despite the challenges he faced with the separation, the investor spoke of the joys of his marriage. He said, “But from my point of view, it was a great marriage. I wouldn’t have changed it. You know, I wouldn’t choose to marry someone else.”

The estranged couple announced their split with a statement, “After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage.”

“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.”
