Jennifer Gates found herself a pair!
On Friday, the daughter of billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda Gates announced in a post on Instagram that she had been placed in the National Resident Matching Program, which determines the first place for young doctors in the US
“The pediatrician is coming!!! 💗👩⚕️,” Gates, 27, wrote in the post, alongside a photo of herself smiling for the camera in a black dress, holding a card announcing the hospital she will be working for.
“I am thrilled to finally be able to say that after 4 years of medical school, I have applied for a pediatric research internship at Mount Sinai,” Gates continued. “What a dream come true — I can’t wait to learn from amazing healthcare providers and patients about what it’s all about to become a doctor.
“Residence here we come! 🩺👩⚕️💗,” she finished, adding the hashtag “#matchday2024” to share her results with her fellow future doctors.
“Congratulations @jenngatesnassar!” Bill, 68, wrote in an Instagram Story post alongside a picture of his daughter. “I’m so impressed with you—and the doctor you’re becoming.”
Bill has long supported his oldest child’s dreams of becoming a doctor. In May 2023, he and Melinda were seen together at Jennifer’s graduation from Columbia University.
Gates’ mom also weighed in on the comments, writing, “So proud of you! Congratulations on this next chapter.”
Her sister Phoebe Gates, 21, also shared the love, simply commenting with two clapping hands emojis on Gates’ post.

Gates has been quite busy over the past few years. The current doctor married her husband Nayel Nassar in an elegant New York ceremony in October 2021. She and the 33-year-old Olympic rider welcomed a baby girl in March 2023.
“(Accelerated) Master of Public Health 👩🎓🩵,” Jennifer wrote in another Instagram post, shared shortly after her graduation. “Thank you @columbiapublichealth for this amazing educational opportunity and the village around me that made this possible. Grateful 🙏✨.”

Reflecting on the busy year, Gates celebrated her 27th birthday in April in an Instagram post and wrote that she was happy to welcome her baby girl.
“The best part of 26: a healthy pregnancy and a daughter. 🙏💜 I love you so much, sweet girl. 👼,” she wrote at the time alongside a photo of her holding her little girl and smiling for the camera.
Writing in his own Instagram post back in April, Bill told his daughter: “Happy birthday, Jenn! You continue to amaze me with your intelligence, creativity and compassion. I feel incredibly lucky to be your dad and so proud of all you’ve accomplished. I love you always!”
