Families across the country are spending the festivities with their loved ones. Likewise, equestrian star Jennifer Gates also seems to be having a special first Christmas with daughter Leila. Jennifer and Nayel Nassar became parents earlier this year, and Gates has her plates full. However, all the added responsibility isn’t stopping her from radiating and even the folks over at the high-stands of the fashion can’t stop from being awed.

Jennifer Gates recently said keeping her head above the water has been a challenge. But she’s handling her medical and equestrian careers with equal grace as she’s managing to be a mother. Only recently, Gates returned to the tracks. However, that doesn’t mean little Leila’s first Christmas was spent without mommy dearest and a not so secret admirer taking to their feed to spread some Yuletide joy as well.

Cute message from fashion royalty inundates Leila’s feed

In her latest Instagram post, Jennifer Gates shared a beautiful black-and-white standing beside a doting husband and a pretty-looking Leila. We can feel the glow permeate and the trio look equally proud and happy. Jennifer’s got Nayel in a tight embrace while Leila takes a rather curious gaze at the world around her from daddy’s shoulders. Nassar and Gates can be seen widely and we’re sure they’re making some special memories together.

Gates’ glow can’t be overlooked in the picture. “Merry Christmas from our family. Wishing everyone health, safety, love, and a sense of belonging today and always“, wrote the equestrian daughter of Bill Gates in her post. Supermodel Martha Hunt, best known as the blue-eyed girl of Victoria’s Secret also took the time to wish Gates and her family a Merry Christmas.

Hunt has walked in almost 200 fashion shows in her career and has had deals with some of the biggest names in the fashion industry, including Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana. On the other hand, other fans couldn’t stop complimenting Jennifer about her looks and her dresses or how the three of them looked wholesome in their picture together.

Gates’ support systems

While little Leila is definitely making this year somewhat truly special for Jennifer, having Nayel beside her is possibly the one thing that keeps Gates sane. With motherhood adding new layers to her life, vehement support from Nayel constantly aided Gates’ professional career as an equestrian.
