Jennifer Gates Compares Growing Up When 'Social Media Wasn't a Thing' to Raising Her 2 Daughters Now (Exclusive)


Jennifer Gates, the eldest daughter of Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates, opens up to PEOPLE in an exclusive interview about how she's raising her two daughters she shares with husband Nayel Nassar in the digital media age.

A lot has changed since Jennifer Gates was a child — and now, the 29-year-old is reflecting on what it's like to raise two daughters in the digital media age. "But ultimately I think allowing your children to get to a place where they can make more of a decision for themselves is where we've landed," adds the pediatric resident, who graduated last May from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Adds Jennifer: "And even so, it is incredibly challenging to have two babies in diapers and one you're breastfeeding and one that's working on her appetite and doing her meals."
