		</div><p>Bill and Melinda Gates have announced that they are divorcing.</p>
<p>The Microsoft co-founder and his wife, who launched the world’s largest charitable foundation, said they would continue to work together at the Bill &; Melinda Gates Foundation.</p>
<p>In identical tweets, they said they had made the decision to end their marriage of 27 years.</p>
<p>“We have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives,” they said in a statement.</p>
<p>“We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life.”</p>
<p>In her 2019 memoir, The Moment of Lift, Mrs Gates wrote about her childhood, life and private struggles as the wife of a public figure and stay-at-home mother with three children.</p>

<p>She won Mr Gates’ heart after meeting at a work dinner, sharing a mutual love of puzzles and beating him at a maths game.</p>
<p>The couple’s sprawling Seattle-based foundation is easily the most influential private foundation in the world, with an endowment worth nearly 50 billion dollars.</p>
<p>It has focused on global health and development and US education issues since incorporating in 2000.</p>
<p>The couple were married in 1994 in Hawaii. They met after she began working at Microsoft as a product manager in 1987.</p>
<p>Last year, Mr Gates, formerly the world’s richest person, said he was stepping down from Microsoft’s board to focus on philanthropy.</p>
<p>Mr Gates was Microsoft’s CEO until 2000 and since then has gradually scaled back his involvement in the company he started with Paul Allen in 1975.</p>
<p>He transitioned out of a day-to-day role in Microsoft in 2008 and served as chairman of the board until 2014.</p>
