Bill Gates Reveals Names of Three Women During Epstein Testimony: New Details Emerge
The release of testimony given by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has sparked intense public interest and renewed discussion about his past relationship with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. The testimony, delivered before members of the U.S. House Oversight Committee, offered new details about Gates’ personal life, including the identities of three women with whom he admitted having extramarital relationships during his marriage to Melinda French Gates. The disclosures have become one of the most widely discussed aspects of the ongoing scrutiny surrounding Epstein’s network of influential associates.
The Congressional Testimony
The testimony was conducted as part of a broader investigation examining Epstein’s relationships with prominent public figures and his methods of influence. During the questioning, lawmakers reportedly presented Gates with documents and emails suggesting that Epstein had knowledge of aspects of Gates’ private life.
According to the released transcript, Gates acknowledged three separate affairs. The women identified during the testimony were Mila Antonova, a bridge player; Karima Nigmatulina, a nuclear physicist; and Dr. Alice Jacobs Nesselrodt, a medical entrepreneur. The revelations drew significant media attention because they represented one of the most detailed public discussions Gates has ever given about his personal relationships outside his marriage.
Who Are the Three Women?
Mila Antonova
One of the women identified by Gates was Mila Antonova, a bridge player who had previously attracted media attention because of reports linking her indirectly to Epstein. Antonova became known publicly after stories emerged suggesting that Epstein had shown an unusual interest in supporting her educational pursuits.
According to reports, Epstein at one point helped fund coding-related education opportunities for Antonova. Investigators later examined communications involving Epstein and Gates that referenced her. Gates acknowledged the relationship during his testimony but insisted that it was unrelated to any actions taken by Epstein.
Media coverage has highlighted the fact that Epstein allegedly knew about Gates’ relationship with Nigmatulina. According to Gates, Epstein’s awareness of the affair contributed to concerns that personal information might be used to pressure or influence him. However, Gates stated that no successful blackmail attempt ever occurred.
During questioning, lawmakers presented Gates with documents referencing a woman whose name had reportedly been redacted in previously released records. Gates stated that Dr. Nesselrodt fit the description referenced in those materials. He acknowledged the affair while maintaining that it had no connection whatsoever to Epstein.
