Gates, 28, is mom to daughters Leila, who turned 2 earlier in February, and Mia, whose birth was announced in November 2024. She shares both children with her husband, Nayel Nassar, with whom she tied the knot in October 2021.

The photo showed the arm of one of her two toddlers, who sat on her chest as she captured the new selfie.

Over on her Instagram Stories, Gates shared a photo of two chunks of chopped hair, which she said she is donating to the non-profit organization Children With Hair Loss.

Gates' new look comes just weeks after she marked Leila's second birthday with an adorable Instagram tribute that includes clips of her playing with horses on a farm.

One clip showed her being picked up to give a horse a carrot, while another showed her walking a pony on a leash.

"Happy 2nd birthday to our sweet girl Leila! Watching her grow up alongside the horses, go for small rides, and enjoy time at the barn is just the best," Gates captioned the post.

"As a kid, Cool Beans (“Beanie”) taught me how to ride, and 20 years later it is so special that Leila gets to learn from him. 🥹," her caption continued.
