Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan are expecting their second child.
In an Instagram and Facebook post, Zuckerberg, 32, announced the two are expecting another baby girl after the birth of daughter Maxima in 2015.
“I cannot think of a greater gift than having a sister and I’m so happy Max and our new child will have each other,” he wrote on Thursday.
“I grew up with three sisters and they taught me to learn from smart, strong women.”
“They weren’t just my sisters but some of my best friends. They’ve gone on to write books, excel at performance, music, sports, cooking and their careers. They showed me how to compete and still laugh together afterwards.”
“Priscilla grew up with two sisters and they taught her the importance of family, caring for others and hard work. They supported each other as first generation college students and in their careers in medicine and business.”
“We are all better people because of the strong women in our lives.”
“We can’t wait to welcome our new little one and do our best to raise another strong woman.”
After the birth of their first child the Silicon Valley power couple vowed to donate 99 per cent of their Facebook shares, worth billions, to charity in their lifetimes.
