Hurd is the widow of Oracle's CEO and has a striking resemblance to Gates ex-wife Melinda
DailyMail.com exclusively revealed last year that Gates had found love again two years after his divorce from his wife of 27 years Melinda.
Hurd 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.
Once a tech executive herself, Hurd is now an event planner and organizer, and philanthropist.
Gates' ex-wife, and mother to their three children, previously opened up about her 'unbelievably painful' divorce and explained that she 'just couldn't stay in that marriage anymore'.

Melinda French Gates told Fortune magazine in October that the Covid-19 pandemic helped give her the 'privacy to do what she needed to do.' She also said in 2021 that her husband's affair with a Microsoft employee in 2000 had broken the 'trust' in their marriage.
Intermixed with Gates' extramarital liaisons is scrutiny around his relationship with Epstein, the pedophile financier who took his own life in 2019 while jailed on charges of sex trafficking minors. Gates insists the pair never had 'any business relationship or friendship' and their meetings were solely to discuss philanthropic ventures.
But Melinda said her ex-husband's closeness to the predator put considerable strain on the marriage.
The Gates' divorce settlement is America's second-most expensive ever after Bezos' $38.3billion split with ex-wife MacKenzie Bezos.
Bezos' and his new love Sanchez was seen arriving at the conference Wednesday.
On Wednesday, Sanchez, known for her revealing outfits, sported a new hairdo - a sleek bob - and stunned in a knitted skirt and sweater with a pink handbag and big shades.
MeanwhileCook was pictured flashing a peace sign wearing a blue polo, white pants and of course an Apple watch.
