"There is nothing quite like holding your first grandchild... It seems like just yesterday I was holding Jenn at this age. Now she has a baby of her own—and I am bursting with pride watching her and Nayel step into their new role as parents," she wrote.

Gates’ daughter Jennifer and her Egyptian husband Nayel Nassar announced the arrival of their first child five weeks ago on Instagram.

Jennifer Gates and Nassar tied the knot at a private ceremony in New York in October 2021.
