One attendee told The New York Post that during an “off the record” Q&A session, Gates “fessed up to messing up” his marriage.

“He basically referred to the fact that it [the divorce] was his fault,” the source said.

“He did seem a bit emotional about it,” the source added. “He might have been on the verge of tears.”

The outlet reported that Gates did not use the word “affair” when discussing the end of his nearly three-decade-long marriage.

Another attendee told the outlet that Gates’ candor was “very moving.”
