Things are certainly heating up between Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his new girlfriend Paula Hurd, as the couple was spotted spending some quality time with his three kids in New York City over the weekend – and she was seen wearing a large ring on that finger during the outing.

Bill, 67, and Paula, 60, who were first linked in February of this year, were photographed leaving the upscale restaurant Boucherie in the West Village on Saturday – after enjoying a meal with his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren Jennifer, 27, Rory, 24, and Phoebe, 20.

Billionaire Bill opted for gray trousers, a button-down plaid shirt, and a pullover sweater on top for the outing. He paired the look with black sneakers and a navy blue baseball cap.

As for Paula, she donned black pants and a similar colored top with a matching cardigan.

Eagle-eyed fans may also notice that Bill’s new love interest sported a gold ring on the ring finger of her left hand – but it’s unfortunately unclear if the suspicious piece of jewelry was an engagement ring or not.

The couple seemed in good spirits as they made their way into the restaurant, with Bill stopping to wave to the photographers.

Afterwards, they exited side-by-side and got into a waiting car.

Bill’s three kids, whom he shares with ex Melinda, were also caught darting out of the eatery.

All three dressed casually for the meetup – with his only son, Rory, wearing khaki pants and a blue, puffy jacket.

20-year-old Phoebe was seen in jeans and a black-and-white striped blouse, while new mom Jennifer, who welcomed a daughter in April, dressed in hot pink pants and a denim shirt.

DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that Bill and Paula were dating back in February, after the two attended the Australian Open in Melbourne together.

The outing comes just days after he whisked her away to what’s known as the ‘billionaire summer camp,’ which he used to take his ex-wife Melinda to.

Last week, Bill and Paula were spotted holding hands while walking around at the Sun Valley Conference in Idaho – an event that sees a slew of the top business moguls meet to share ideas, connect, and make deals.

Paula is the widow of former Oracle co-CEO and president Mark Hurd, who died at the age of 62 in 2019 after a reported battle with cancer.

Her late husband had an estimated net worth of $500 million at the time of his death.

Bill and Melinda, 58, announced that they were divorcing in May 2021, after 27 years of marriage.

Five months later, Melinda spoke out about the ‘unbelievably painful’ split to Fortune magazine, while explaining that she ‘just couldn’t stay in that marriage anymore.’

‘I had some reasons I just couldn’t stay in that marriage anymore,’ she explained. ‘It’s unbelievably painful, in innumerable ways, but I had the privacy to get through it.’

There’s been rumors that Melinda has since moved on with ex-Fox News host Jon Du Pre, 68.

She and Bill have continued to work together on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation since their divorce.

In fact, the mother-of-three later credited their ‘philanthropy’ with helping them get through their split, claiming that it ‘held them together, allowed more grace’ and ‘smoothed’ things over during some of the most ‘difficult’ aspects of the breakup.

‘Our philanthropy actually called us to be our best selves, even during the most difficult times behind-the-scenes,’ she told Good Morning America in August 2022.

The former couple also seems to be co-parenting well, as they have reunited publicly on more than one occasion to attend functions for their kids.

When Jennifer received her Master’s degree back in May, the exes were seen posing together at her graduation ceremony, and they also teamed up to walk her down the aisle when she wed Nayel Nassar in October 2021.
