Phoebe Gates is providing some rare insight into her love life.
During her guest appearance on Wednesday’s episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Bill Gates’ daughter revealed the sexist comment her “childhood sweetheart” made before their breakup.
The 22-year-old claimed that when she told her then-boyfriend about wanting to become a senator one day, he replied, “I just think if you were a senator, it would be hard for the kids.”
Phoebe allegedly replied, “What kids? And also, how is that how you’re gonna react to this? That’s so negative.”
Host Alex Cooper commiserated with her, divulging that she had recently been asked about her “timeline for kids” during a business meeting.
At the time, however, Phoebe was still “fully believing” that she and her ex, whom she did not name, were “gonna get married.”
The Stanford University student, therefore, was “a little mad” when her now-BFF Sophia Kianni told her to “dump” the guy after four years together.
Phoebe recalled acting “delusional” and thinking, “This bitch is trying to sabotage me and doesn’t realize he’s my husband. Whatever.”
When the former couple did call it quits and Phoebe “was a mess” over the split, Kinnia, 23, stepped in as the “most supportive friend … giving the best advice.”
Phoebe gushed over her “incredible” roommate and business partner, who was also present in Wednesday’s conversation.
She noted that once she “stopped being a robot and opened up,” the pair realized “how much [they have] in common” and became close.
Phoebe has since moved on with Paul McCartney’s grandson Arthur Donald — and joked that he didn’t inherit any musical talent to serenade her.
Phoebe — who went public with the 26-year-old when she graduated from college last year — added that his family won’t let her live down the fact that she did not realize Elton John is gay until they took her to one of his concerts.
Before Donald, Phoebe last made headlines for her romance with Robert Ross.
The duo broke up in 2023.
