Bill and Melinda Gates announced Monday that they have decided to get a divorce because they no longer believe that they can “grow together” as a couple.

“After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage,” the two said in a joint statement. “Over the last 27 years, 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. ”
