Bill Gates was spotted for the first time after his divorce with ex-wife Melinda Gates on Saturday, May 22. The millionaire was seen in Manhattan with his teenage daughter Phoebe Adele Gates and her boyfriend. He was spotted heading to Nobu in Manhattan. The Microsoft founder, 65, was dressed in casual attire, in a polo shirt, black pants, with a jersey wrapped around his waist and mask dangling from his wrist. He was still sporting his wedding ring prominently on his left hand.
The Microsoft founder was earlier spotted after flying into Newark Airport in New Jersey with Phoebe, 18, and her boyfriend Chaz Flynn. At the airport, the trio was also joined by a woman dressed in dark office wear, carrying a large briefcase and a white-haired man in glasses, a check shirt and a bodywarmer. Gates hasn't been seen in public since he and Melinda announced their split back on May 3, other than to appear at a virtual event with the US Chamber of Commerce on May 20. The 65-year-old was also seen sporting his wedding band during that appearance. As soon as the Internet saw Bill and his daughter's latest pictures, they wanted to know more about Flynn, his daughter's boyfriend.
