Jennifer Gates tied the knot with Nayel Nassar in 2021 at her Westchester, New York, home. In March, they announced the arrival of their daughter on social media.

Last year, Bill Gates wrote in a blog post that news of his daughter's pregnancy had given him a new perspective on "his work." 

"I'll become a grandfather next year makes me emotional. And the thought gives a new dimension to my work. When I think about the world my grandchild will be born into, I'm more inspired than ever to help everyone's children and grandchildren have a chance to survive and thrive," he said.
