Some questioned what the impact that a divorce between the two individuals could have on the thousands of initiatives funded by the two around the world.

However, according to TMZ, Melinda is currently dating and has occasionally been seen with a former TV reporter rumoured to be her lover.

Sources indicate that Melinda has been dating Jon Du Pre for a few months and maybe longer, judging by their outings.

Du Pre is a former reporter and touts himself as a Strategic Communications Specialist with 35 years of experience in broadcasting, writing, video production, public speaking and more.

The billionaire's ex-wife was spotted with the former TV correspondent at a basketball match back in April, roughly giving people a duration for their longing relationship.

Although no one knows how the two first met, what's clear is that the two and some of their family members recently had a vacation together and tried out a 5-star hotel.

The 58-year-old said she got to a point in her marriage she could not take it anymore and had to walk away because it became unhealthy.

She added that she was on a healing journey and felt like she was turning a new page while hoping for what the future holds for her.
