Bill Gates DATING Oracle CEO Mark Hurd’s widow Paula

Bill Gates may be in love again.

According to reports, Bill Gates and Paula Hurd, the late Mark Hurd's wife and the co-CEO of Oracle have been dating for more than a year.

“They’re inseparable,” a friend of the rumoured couple told the Daily Mail.

“They’ve been together over a year, and she’s always described as a ‘mystery woman,’ but it’s no mystery to their inner circle that they’re in a romantic relationship.”

Paula's spouse reportedly battled cancer before passing away in October 2019 at 62. His estimated net worth was $500 million at the time of his passing.

From 2005 until 2010, Mark led the computer and printer manufacturer Hewlett-Packard. A month after quitting due to a sexual harassment issue, he returned and joined Oracle.

On the other hand, Paula used to be a tech executive and is now a charitable event planner.

Due to their shared love of tennis, Paula, 60, and Gates, 67, ran in the same circles and met prior to Mark's passing. In 2015, they were captured on camera watching a tennis match from the same box.

She was recently seen attending the Men's Singles Final at the Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia, with the co-founder of Microsoft.

When they were spotted walking together around the Australian city, they stoked romance speculations even more. At the time, she was still unknown.

For his part, Gates spent 27 years with his ex-wife, Melinda Gates. In August 2021, they reached a divorce agreement.
