The divorce between Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates was finalized on Monday, according to court documents first reported by Reuters.
The pair, who founded the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2000, announced in early May that they were splitting up after 27 years of marriage. They said at the time that they would continue to work together at the foundation, but concluded that they can no longer “grow together as a couple.”
The details of their divorce agreement have not been made public and, according to Reuters, were not disclosed Monday in the final order filed in King County Superior Court in Seattle.
