Since then, both halves of the former couple have spoken publicly about the marriage.

Well, he won’t.

He acknowledged her interview, but said he would call them friends.

The two still work together through The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

But he feels the loss of the marriage.

“I’m also grieving the same way she is,” he said.

“I have this nice house that lends itself to great discussions,” Gates says.

“But it feels too big most of the time.

I am only a small-sized person.”

“But, you know, to claim that I control people’s bodies is bizarre.”

Nor did his ex-wife, his three children, his two sisters or their husbands.

And he knows how much better a pandemic he had than most people.

“I was able to see my kids.”
