Bill Gates his ex-wife Melinda Gates just finalized their bitter divorce, but they are showing a united front for the sake of their children.
The Microsoft mogul and his former partner of 27 years came together to cheer on their future son-in-law Nayel Nassar as he competes for Olympic gold!
Bill, 65, and Melinda, 56, have three children together, with one gearing up to walk down the aisle.
Their 25-year-old daughter Jennifer Gates is set to marry the Egyptian equestrian rider, and he happens to be competing in the Tokyo Olympics!
Nassar, 30, has already had a successful run and secured his spot in the upcoming finals.
Jennifer isn't the only member of the now-divorced Gates family who is in Nassar's corner.
Bill gave their soon-to-be son-in-law a shoutout first.
"I’m rooting for lots of the athletes in Tokyo right now—but none more than my soon-to-be son-in-law, @nayelnassar. Good luck, Nayel!" the tech mogul posted over the weekend.
Days after their divorce was made final, Melinda followed suit with a similar message to her ex-husband's.
"I always love watching the Olympics. The #TokyoOlympics are particularly special because I get to cheer on my future son-in-law, @nayelnassar! We are so proud of you, Nayel (and Igor)!" she wrote on Wednesday.
Jennifer reposted her mom's sweet post, but didn't appear to acknowledge her father's.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Melinda is walking away from their failed marriage without any spousal support. That doesn't mean she's not getting a healthy chunk of Bill's $130 billion fortune.
When it comes to their kids, that might be a different story.

Despite their father being one of the richest men in the world, Bill was allegedly only giving Jennifer, Rory, 22, and Phoebe, 18, $10 million each. That might sound like a lot of money, but not if your dad is Mr. Microsoft.
Melinda reportedly disagreed with Bill's decision and worried that he was planning to cut the kids out of his will.
While Jennifer is preparing for her wedding to Nassar, she's not the only Gates child with a lot on her plate.
Phoebe recently graduated high school, and she's off to Sanford in the fall. Despite not being a college kid yet, she's already practicing for the lifestyle.
