Nearly three years ago, in May 2021, American billionaire Bill Gates and his wife at the time, Melinda French Gates, shocked the world when they announced their separation after 27 years of marriage. Their marriage officially ended in August 2021. In an interview with the BBC after the breakup, when asked if he wanted to find new love, the American billionaire frankly replied: "Of course, I'm not a robot."

Nearly 2 years later, Mr. Bill Gates found new love, Ms. Paula Hurd, a businesswoman whose career and reputation are no less than Bill Gates's.

Paula's ex-husband, Oracle CEO Mark Hurd, passed away in 2019.

Information about the relationship between Mr. Gates and Ms. Paula, although kept secret for nearly a year, was only made public when they were spotted together at several important events at prestigious tennis tournaments such as the Laver Cup in September 2022 and the Australian Open in January 2023. Most recently, the two were also seen holding hands at the pre-wedding party of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani's son in early March.

Before her relationship with Mr. Gates was made public, Ms. Paula was said to have lived a rather private life. She was always described by the press and media as "a mysterious woman". In fact, very few people, including those close to both of them, knew about this relationship. However, information about Mr. Gates and Ms. Paula has gradually appeared with more frequency.

Billionaire Gates and his wife also share a special love for tennis and first met at a tennis match in 2015. Although they were not romantically involved at the time, photos of the two together were released after they went public with their relationship in 2023.

Speculation about the relationship between Paula and Gates intensified when they appeared together at the Australian Open men's singles final in January 2023 and were photographed walking around Melbourne together. However, both Paula and Gates have remained tight-lipped.

The two are said to have secretly made their relationship public in July 2023. At that time, Ms. Paula and Mr. Gates attended an event in New York City, attracting the attention of the press. Notably, Ms. Paula had a ring on her hand.

However, Paula's representative told People that she had worn the ring for "decades" and that it "was not an engagement ring." However, this did not stop rumors that he and Paula had a deep relationship and that they would soon get married.

According to People, unlike many other beauties who are often the back-up for their boyfriends or partners who are the world's top billionaires and tycoons, Ms. Paula Hurd has a very admirable personal profile. She received a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Texas in 1984.

In the same year, she joined NRC, a company that provides services and software to world-famous banks, and held many important positions there. Initially, she was in charge of sales and business network management. Later, she was appointed as Chief Technology Officer. She left the company in 2001 after 17 years of service.

Ten years later, in October 2011, she became an advisor to Club 127 and worked there for more than 10 years before leaving in December 2021.

During that time, in 2018, she and her husband became co-chairs of Give Light - a Baylor University charity campaign to build infrastructure and provide educational development scholarships for the younger generation. In 2021, she directly contributed $7 million and stood up to call for support for a total of up to $1 billion for Give Light.

In addition to her business and philanthropy, Paula Hurd has a passion for tennis. She co-founded the Baylor Tennis Program with Mark Hurd and on March 14, 2022, Paula launched a collaborative initiative between the Baylor Tennis Program and the Universal Tennis Foundation to encourage and inspire tennis players around the world and to announce the Universal Tennis Hurd Award.

Accordingly, from 2023, each year the Award will be presented to one male and one female professional tennis player who demonstrate outstanding performance and sportsmanship at the BNP Paribas Open.

Mrs. Paula Hurd and her late husband Mark Hurd were respected philanthropists when participating in many important social activities, especially contributions to Baylor University with important sports and cultural facilities here. Their names were given to a series of school projects. In 2020, she and Mr. Mark received the Baylor University Founders Medal for their contributions to the current and future development of the school.
