Bill Gates has been seeing Paula Hurd, the widow of late Oracle c0-CEO Mark Hurd, for over a year now, according to multiple reports.

One close source to the couple said,

“They’re inseparable.”
“They’ve been together over a year, and she’s always described as a ‘mystery woman,’ but it’s no mystery to their inner circle that they’re in a romantic relationship.”
