Where the penchant for equestrianism met, two pairs of hands promised to walk the path of forever. That’s what equestrian Nayel Nassar and Bill Gates’ oldest daughter’s story encapsulates. Having started dating in 2017, Jennifer Gates and Nassar solidified their relationship with their official engagement announcement in 2020. After a year, the Stanford University lovebirds tied the knot at a Westchester County farm. Now, proud parents of a 10-month-old, the couple keeps their romance game strong.

The two proposed to each other in the most cinematic way on a ski trip. Since then, juggling equestrian duties and family nitty-gritty has been nothing but a cakewalk for them. However, as the Olympian stepped on his 33rd year, not his wife but another Gates member extended a heartfelt wish.

Bill Gates’ former wife wished Nayel a birthday

Melinda Gates, the multiple Forbes rank holder of one of the world’s most powerful women, has nothing but adoration for her son-in-law. So, to praise him more on his birthday, she took to her Instagram to write, “Happy Birthday, Nayel! It was an absolute joy watching you become a father this past year, and I can’t wait to see what this next year has in store for you!” The 33-year-old equestrian who represented Egypt at the 2012 London Summer Olympics boasts of an impressive show jumping career. But peeping into his homely self, he’s just a regular family person who likes to be around loved ones.

Regularly competing at the international Grand Prix circuit, Nayel Nassar has made several winning strides in the equestrian realm. But one thing that the Egyptian American didn’t know was the world’s biggest business tycoon’s love for him knows no bounds.
