Exes Bill and Melinda Gates are proud in-laws right now, as the two of them are showing their undying support for their son-in-law Nayel Nassar.
The 33-year-old athlete is part of the Egyptian delegation at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris and will compete in the equestrian jumping event. The qualifiers will take place on August 5.
This is Nayel's second time competing at the Olympic games, previously making it to the finals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics but only securing 24th place.
Earlier this week, Melinda, 59, took to her Instagram with a photograph of Nayel in the midst of an event and excitedly captioned it: "So excited to watch you compete at the Olympics, @nayelnassar! I'm rooting for you." Nayel's younger sister-in-law Phoebe also commented: "Let's goo!!!"
Bill, on the other hand, was actually spotted at the games, with the 68-year-old captured enjoying a spot of men's tennis with reported new girlfriend Paula Hurd.

Last month, Jennifer and Nayel announced that they were expecting their second child together. They welcomed their first baby, now 16-month-old daughter Leila, back in March of 2023. Bill and Melinda are also the parents of son Rory, 25, and youngest Phoebe, 21.
Earlier this week, Jennifer took to social media to recap her first month of residency while pregnant, and excitedly count down to seeing her husband at the Games. "After my first month in residency, here is just a little bit of what I've learned," she recounted.

"11-12 hour workdays (up to 12 in a row) are not for the faint of heart," she penned, and added that being a "frontline provider" involved a lot more extra stress. "The first days are extra challenging because every request seems like a big deal."

No matter who you are, what resources you have, what conditions your baby is there for. NICU nurses are incredible; they know their patients so well and are incredible advocates for them."

Jennifer also advised others interested in medicine to not rush things and understand that picking up the tricks of the trade takes time and effort. "There is a STEEP learning curve in residency."
