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.
