Jennifer Gates is 29 years old, and her parents are more proud than they could ever be.
During the celebration of Melinda French Gates and Bill Gates’ oldest child’s 29th birthday on Saturday, April 26, the former couple, who also have a son named Rory who is 25 years old and a daughter named Phoebe who is 22 years old, both expressed their deepest gratitude for the occasion.
Jennifer, who graduated from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in May of last year before beginning her pediatric residency at Mt. Sinai in New York City, was the recipient of a beautiful birthday greeting from Melinda, who is sixty years old. Melinda posted a photo of the mother and daughter together on Instagram, and she followed it with a happy birthday message.
Best wishes on your birthday, @drjenngates! Whoever authored The Next Day did so. “The manner in which you present yourself to those in your immediate vicinity, ranging from your daughters to your patients and everyone in between, is a testament to the extraordinary intelligence, compassion, and generosity that you possess as a person.”
Melinda followed by saying, “I am tremendously proud of you, and I wish that this final year of your twenties is filled with everything that you desire it to be 💖.”
In addition, Bill, who is 69 years old, celebrated Jennifer’s birthday on Instagram by posting a father-daughter photo on Stories. The photo was of the two of them attending what seemed to be a costume party. In the same way as Melinda did, he made it a point to convey how “proud” he is of his oldest kid.
The co-founder of Microsoft commented, “Happy birthday to one of the most brilliant, kind, and wonderful people I know.” she was referring to the individual. The fact that you make every difficulty you face seem to be simple is one of the reasons I am so pleased to be your father.

In the last sentence of the message, he said, “I love you today and every day.”
Jennifer is a mother of two and a professional show jumper in addition to her career as a pediatric resident, which she has recorded in part on her own Instagram account. Another thing that Jennifer does is jump shows professionally.
At the beginning of the year 20233, she and her husband Nayel Nassar, whom she had been dating for five years before to their marriage in October 2021, became parents for the first time. Their daughter, Leila, is now two years old. After some time, the little child was “promoted to big sister” when Jennifer and Nassar had their second daughter, Mia, in October of 2024.
Jennifer uses Instagram to provide brief glimpses of her life with her family of four, which includes her siblings, Bill and Melinda, as well as occasional appearances from Jennifer herself.
In January, she published a picture dump that highlighted her 2024. The photo dump included a number of family photographs, including selfies that she took when she was pregnant with Mia, and a heartfelt recap of the eventful year.
In the caption, she said, “2024 brought our second daughter, the adventure of two under two, a medical degree, and the beginning of pediatric residency.” She also mentioned that she had received her medical degree. Without @nayelnassar and our whole community of caregivers, friends, and family, we would not be able to do any of this.
