Former wife of millionaire Bill Gates, Melinda Gates, is allegedly seeing a former Fox News reporter.

The 58-year-old philanthropist has reportedly been seeing Jon Du Pre, 63, for some months. In April of this year, they were sighted at a Brooklyn Nets basketball game.

Less than a year after divorcing Gates, Melinda admitted to CBS Mornings' Gayle King that she was dating once more, "dipping her toe" back into the realm of romance, and was "absolutely" open to finding love again. It is unknown how Melinda and Du Pre met, but according to TMZ, they have also been seen together at Pelican Hill, a five-star hotel in Newport Beach, California, along with other family members.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Du Pre worked as a correspondent for Fox News Channel. According to his LinkedIn profile, he is currently a Strategic Communications Specialist.

According to Page Six, Du Pre and his ex-wife Gina share custody of three children: sons Kasey and Jonny, who both graduated from BYU, and daughter Jessie, who graduated from the University of Utah. Melinda and Bill shared custody of three children: Jennifer, 25, Rory, 23, and Phoebe, 19.
