Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Dr Priscilla Chan have welcomed their third child, a baby girl named Aurelia Chan Zuckerberg.
The couple announced the news on their Instagram accounts, sharing a photo of the family of five and expressing their joy and gratitude for their “little blessing.”
Zuckerberg and Chan are already parents to two daughters, August and Maxima “Max”. The couple announced Chan’s pregnancy in September 2022, with Zuckerberg sharing the news on his Facebook page that his daughters would soon have another sibling.
The 38-year-old Facebook co-founder and his wife met at a party at Harvard University in 2003, where they were both students. They began dating shortly after, and the couple married on May 19, 2012, in a ceremony held in their backyard.
The couple recently celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary, with Zuckerberg sharing a photo of the two recreating a scene from their wedding day. In the caption, he wrote, “10 years married and half our lives together.”
Zuckerberg, who is also known for his philanthropic efforts with Chan, has previously spoken about his commitment to family and work-life balance. He has said that he aims to take two months of paternity leave for each of his children, and has been open about the challenges of balancing his responsibilities as a CEO and a father.
The couple’s announcement of Aurelia’s birth has been met with congratulations and well-wishes from around the world. The family’s joyful news is a reminder of the importance of family, love, and the many blessings that life can bring.
