FIDE, the global governing body of chess, congratulated Magnus Carlsen on becoming a father for the first time. Reacting to his wife Ella Victoria's Instagram post, they wrote, "Magnus Carlsen has great genes," borrowing tagline from American Eagle ads featuring Sydney Sweeney. The comment was an apparent nod to 'jeans-gate' incident at FIDE World Rapid and Blitz in December 2024.
