Most dads would have misgivings about the person marrying their daughter, but not Bill Clinton. During a talk at Chelsea Clinton’s alma mater, Columbia University, the former president gushed about how he approves of his then-future son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky.
“He is great. He is a great human being,” he said, per People, with an insider close to the former first family dishing to the outlet: “Bill adores him. This is the son he didn’t have. This is the relationship Bill didn’t have with his father.” According to CNN, Bill’s dad, William Jefferson Blythe III, tragically passed away in an accident three months before Bill was born, so he never got to experience having a father-son relationship. Having Mezvinsky be part of the family was his chance to experience that bond. “It’s a very comfortable relationship,” the source added of their dynamic. “This is a nurturing relationship.”

And to continue nurturing that relationship, Bill even makes an effort to get closer to Mezvinsky. “Very often, when Hillary is traveling, Chelsea and Marc and Bill go out to dinner, or they go to Chappaqua and go to the movies,” said an insider (via Glamour).
