Meet Paula Hurd, the rumored girlfriend of Bill Gates
Paula and Bill Gates have known each other for years thanks to their shared love of tennis. The two were even photographed sitting in the same box at a tennis match in 2015.
So when Paula lost her husband and Bill also divorced his wife Melinda French Gates in August 2021, the duo thought “why not?” However, although the couple began their relationship in 2021, they kept it with friends and family only until January 2023.
“It’s common knowledge that Bill Gates and Paula Hurd are dating, but she hasn’t met her kids yet,” the source said.
Likewise, a friend revealed: “They are inseparable. They’ve been together for over a year, and she’s always been described as a ‘mystery woman,’ but to her inner circle it’s no secret that they’re in a romantic relationship.”
The two were last photographed together at the Australian Open while watching the men’s singles final in Melbourne in January 2023. They later also traveled to Sydney, where they met Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Afterwards, the lovebirds took a romantic walk through the city while stopping to admire the panoramic view of the harbor and see the famous Opera House.
Ahead of the Australian Open, the pair were also spotted watching the 2022 Laver Cup at London’s O2 Arena in September and the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells in October 2021 together. However, they were sitting a few rows away at the time.
For those who don’t know, Bill Gates divorced Melinda French Gates in August 2021 for “some reason” he didn’t want to talk about. Back then, his only concern was to protect his children. In his annual end-of-year blog, he said, “I will always regret the pain I caused Melinda and our family.”
