The Gates billionaire family is growing: Bill Gates becomes a grandfather for the first time. His eldest daughter Jennifer and her husband Nayel Nassar announced the baby news on Instagram.
Jennifer Gates, the eldest daughter of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, is expecting her first child. She announced this in a joint Instagram post with her husband Nayel Nassar, five years her senior, on Thanksgiving. "Grateful," the couple writes about two photos that show Gates with a clear baby bump.
Both snaps were taken outside. Leaning against a stone wall and with a green meadow in the background, the parents-to-be are smiling at the camera in the first photo. Gates puts a hand on her stomach. Another picture shows the mother-to-be alone in the same setting. In a dark green dress, she looks down at the bulge on her stomach. To do this, they only write the word "grateful", provided with a green heart and a baby bottle.
Melinda Gates, Jennifer's mother will be a grandma for the first time, is also overjoyed and grateful: "I couldn't be happier to meet this little baby and watch you two become parents," she comments on her daughter's contribution. Sharing the post on her own Instagram, she said: "I still haven't stopped smiling."
Model Karlie Kloss reacts to Jennifer Gates' good news with hearty-eyed emojis. Model Martha Hunt also sends such smileys and writes: "Congratulations". Congratulations from many other users.
Jennifer Gates and Nayel Nassar, who are both show jumpers, met at the riding arena. In January 2020, the couple got engaged while on a skiing vacation. In October 2021, the wedding took place at their farm in Westchester County, New York.
Jennifer is the daughter of Bill and Melinda Gates, who married in 1994. They also have son Rory, 23, and daughter Phoebe, 20. Bill and Melinda Gates have been divorced since 2021.
