The fact that Mrs. Melinda quickly spoke up through her representative about her separation from Mr. Jon made many people believe that there is a high possibility that she is in a new relationship.

Currently, Ms. Melinda has a fortune of about 13 billion USD. Mr. Bill Gates maintains his position as one of the richest billionaires in the world with a fortune of more than 146 billion USD.
After breaking up, Mr. Bill and Mrs. Melinda both caused a stir because of their strange decisions.

Mrs. Melinda French Gates did not change her last name after divorcing billionaire Bill Gates. In fact, this is also the decision of many women living in countries where there is a custom that after getting married, women can change their last name, from “maiden name”, to using husband’s last name.
Although after divorce, laws in many countries allow women to change their last names and no longer use their ex-husband’s last name, but many women still choose to keep their husband’s last name.
Financial magazine Forbes (USA) noted that in current society, as women become more independent and autonomous in life and raise awareness of gender equality, more and more people keep their last names after marriage. kiss, do not use your husband’s last name.
But from a legal perspective, the magazine Forbes believes that women not changing their last names when getting married also helps prevent problems from the beginning that may arise from last name issues, if unfortunately… divorce occurs.
For women who decide to keep their ex-husband’s last name, many also share that it is because they want to support their children’s psychology, especially if those children are young.
Before that, children were already familiar with the whole family having the same last name. When their parents went through divorce, the children themselves felt confused. When they see that their mother’s last name is now different from their own, it is a “boost”, making the children feel even more clearly the separation in the family.
In fact, there are many women who decide to keep their ex-husband’s last name because of work-related issues and legal procedures. Because that family name has been with them for so long, if they change their name after divorce, the woman will have to go through more turmoil and trouble.

In May 2021, a few weeks after Mr. Bill and Ms. Melinda announced their divorce, a detail also made many people very interested. That billionaire Bill Gates still wears his wedding ring.
British body language analysis expert – Ms. Judi James – once commented that the fact that a person has not removed their wedding ring after announcing a divorce is because of emotional issues. These people want to feel like they are in control.
First of all, in the initial stages immediately after announcing a breakup, people may experience very difficult emotions. Removing the ring that has been with them for many years makes them feel too sad and negative at a time full of difficulties and challenges.
When in a very difficult period, emotions often overwhelm reason, at that time, many conflicts occur within a person. Even though the marriage has clearly come to an end, the people involved often don’t want to accept it right away.
For celebrities, whether they still wear their wedding ring or have taken off their wedding ring contains many messages, because they know they are cared for.
When a famous person suddenly appears many times without a wedding ring on his finger and allows the news to spread, with theories about a rift and about to break up. That could be when a celebrity wants to “send news” to their partner, to “warn” them, so that the other person can promptly save everything.
And when a celebrity continues to wear a wedding ring, after announcing their separation, it is a form of psychological effort, to create the feeling that they are still in control of everything, even though they may not be. Actually that is not true.
This phenomenon appears from the feeling of confusion and sadness in the early stages after a breakup. It is a rather heavy expression, showing the need to control everything, while everything is changing too quickly and too strongly.
