Jennifer Gates, the eldest child of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, welcomed her first child with husband Nayel Nassar yesterday. She took to Instagram to announce the happy news.
Ms Gates posted a picture of the couple cradling the newborn without revealing the baby's face. She wrote in the caption, "Sending love from our healthy little family."
The billionaire shared the same picture on his Instagram story and wrote, "Congratulations Jenn and Nayel. I'm so proud."
Melinda French Gates, the new grandmother, also expressed her happiness. "Welcome to the world. My heart overflows," she commented below her daughter's post.
Bill and Melinda Gates' eldest daughter Jennifer tied the knot with Nayel Nassar in 2021 at her home in Westchester, New York. Nayel Nassar is an Egyptian equestrian.
