Reason for divorce:

They announced their divorce in their social media accounts, and many questions were raised as they were already married for 27 years and had been together for 34 years

The reason for divorce was that the news about the Bill's business deal with a man named Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted s*x offender, became public.

It turns out that Melinda had always warned Bill not to get engaged with the man, and she has been telling that since 2013, which is almost eight years, and she couldn't take it anymore.
