“Leila, being promoted to big sister 💕,” the 28-year-old wrote, tagging her husband, Nayel Nassar, in the caption.

Melinda, 59, commented her congratulations by gushing, “I couldn’t be more excited for you, Nayel, and Leila! Love you ❤.”

She and Bill, 68, welcomed Jennifer in 1996, followed by son Rory, 25, and daughter Phoebe, 21, in 1999 and 2002, respectively.

Gates gave birth to her baby girl in March 2023.

They were married for 27 years before revealing their separation in 2002 — although Melinda told the Times earlier this month that they had secretly called it quits more than one year prior.

In March 2023, Jennifer made them grandparents.

“sending love from our healthy little family 💓🙏🥰,” she captioned Leila’s Instagram debut at the time.

The new mom, who wed Nassar in 2021, was a medical school student at the time and graduated in May, on the heels of her baby girl’s 1st birthday.

As for Jennifer’s siblings, Phoebe got her human biology degree from Stanford University last week.

While documenting the experience with Nylon, she confirmed that her boyfriend is Paul McCartney’s grandson Arthur Donald.

The duo first sparked romance rumors in October 2023 when Phoebe posted a photo with Donald, 25, on a trip to Paris.

In March of the following year, however, she declined to comment to Bustle on whether they were dating.

Rory, for his part, remains primarily out of the public eye but did attend a White House State Dinner with his mom last month.
