Bill Gates’ Daughter Phoebe Reveals What It’s Like Introducing Boyfriends to Her Dad

Phoebe then noted that Bill—who is now dating Paula Hurd—called her date by the wrong name once he dropped them off. “[I] literally wanted to die,” she remembered. “But now, I think it’s become easier for me because when you introduce a guy to your dad, depending on how he reacts, that’s how you know if he’s gonna be a good guy or not.”

And while Phoebe didn’t reveal if Arthur and Bill had an awkward first introduction, she shared that her dad has become more sociable—partly thanks to her.

I was like, ‘No. If we’re here, we’re gonna socialize. We’ve gotta work this room, Bill.’”
