Philanthropy held the Microsoft Corporation MSFT co-founder and his then-wife together during the troubled phase of their marital life, Melinda said in an interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts, a video clip shared on GMA’s YouTube channel showed.
When asked what Melinda learned during the divorce process, she said philanthropy called them to be their best selves.
“So even during the most difficult times, behind the scenes you know we’re working through the specifics of the divorce and there’s sadness, we were still both showing up for the foundation and showing up well,” she said.
“I think that held us together and allowed more grace during that period.”
