Bill Gates’ daughter Jennifer is expecting her second child with her equestrian husband, Nayel Nassar – just 16 months after the couple welcomed daughter Leila.
The 28-year-old, who married 33-year-old Nayel in October 2021, looked every inch the doting mom as she took to Instagram to share the news.
Jennifer, whose Microsoft founder father is worth a staggering $134 billion, affectionately cradled her blossoming baby bump beneath a flowing blue maxi dress as she held hands with daughter Leila.
She uploaded the snap alongside a simple caption that read: ‘Leila, being promoted to big sister.’
It comes after DailyMail.com recently pictured Jennifer enjoying a wholesome day out with their one-year-old at Westchester County’s Old Salem Farm.

Posting a picture of herself sporting her cap and gown on May 11, Jennifer captioned the post: ‘Dr. Gates, MD, MPH. Can’t believe we’ve reached this moment, a little girl’s childhood aspiration come true.
‘It’s been a whirlwind of learning, exams, late nights, tears, discipline, and many moments of self-doubt, but the highs certainly outweighed the lows these past 5 years.
‘I am deeply grateful for this experience and so indebted and thankful to my professors, mentors, friends, and family for their endless support along the way.’
Her famous father was quick to comment on the post and gushed: ‘What you have achieved today—and every day leading up to it—is a tremendous accomplishment, @jenngatesnassar.

During a recent appearance on the PedsDocTalk podcast, Jennifer opened up about her mom guilt and adjusting to life as a mother in the past year.
When she admitted to feeling guilty for not being with her daughter all the time, the interviewer asked, ‘Why?’ as Jennifer explained: ‘At times like now as I’m a new parent, I do feel guilty.
‘Oh gosh I should be making this choice for her, I should be doing this and I’m not and these feelings are natural.’
She then added: ‘I realize for her to see me confident in the choices I’m making and I can acknowledge that guilt, I can acknowledge those feelings. It’s okay to have ambiguity.’
