Melinda French Gates’ rumored new love interest is a divorced dad of three adult children who admitted in a memoir to verbally abusing his first wife, a former Miss Utah.

This week, sources told TMZ that the billionaire philanthropist and former wife of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, 58, was dating Jon Du Pre, a former TV news anchor and author, who was locked in a nine-year court battle with his wife over child support, according to public records.
