Bill Gates' Daughter Engaged to Egyptian Equestrian

Bill Gates' daughter Jennifer Gates has announced her engagement to Egyptian showjumper Nayel Nassar.

The Microsoft founder's eldest child shared a photo on her Instagram account revealing that Nassar, who helped Egypt qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, had proposed.

"Nayel Nassar, you are one of a kind. Absolutely swept me off my feet this past weekend, surprising me in the most meaningful location over one of our many shared passions," Gates wrote alongside a photo of the pair sitting on snow.

Gates added that she "can't wait to spend the rest of our lives learning, growing, laughing and loving together."

The couple, who both attended Stanford University, each has a love for the equine sport.

Gates told CNN's EQ equestrian show last year: "Horses are just one part of our life, but we love the sport.

"He's a professional, and I do this as an amateur. So, to be able to share our love and passion for horses with each other is just incredible."

Nassar posted two other photos of the wintry proposal on his own Instagram account, writing: "SHE SAID YES!!"

"I'm feeling like the luckiest (and happiest) man in the world right about now," he captioned his pictures with his wife-to-be.

"Jenn, you are everything I could have possibly imagined... and so much more. I can't wait to keep growing together through this journey called life, and I simply can't imagine mine without you anymore."
