"I’m over the moon for you, @jenngatesnassar and @nayelnassar—and overjoyed for our whole family," wrote Bill.
"Congratulations Jenn and Nayel! It’s been such a joy to watch you as parents, and now I can’t wait to see Leila as a big sister. 💕," Melinda added.
Shortly after Mia's birth in 2023, Bill opened up about wanting to "create an adventure" for his grandchildren in a video on Instagram.
"The relationship of a grandparent to a child is a nice one because it's kind of in addition to what they have with their parents," he said. "It's kind of a supporting role, and in that way, it's kind of simple. It can be a lot of fun stuff."
Bill and Melinda divorced in 2021 after 27 years of marriage. In addition to Jennifer, they share a son, Rory, 25, and a daughter, Phoebe, 22.
Jennifer earned a master's degree in public health from Columbia University and a degree in human biology from Stanford University. She graduated from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in May 2024 before beginning her pediatric residency at Mt. Sinai.
