Mark Zuckerberg, the 40-year-old leader of Meta, welcomed 2025 with a heartfelt post on social media, featuring himself and his wife Dr. Priscilla Chan. On January 1, he shared a joyful image on Instagram, showing the couple smiling together, with Zuckerberg raising a glass of champagne as they celebrated the new year.
“Happy New Year and here’s to even bigger things in 2025,” he expressed in the caption, eagerly looking ahead to the opportunities that awaited.
The couple, who share three daughters—Maxima, 9, August, 7, and Aurelia, 2—have experienced numerous joyful moments over the past year.
In May 2024, Zuckerberg celebrated his 40th birthday, which Dr. Chan organized as a memorable gathering with friends and family, reflecting on his significant life milestones.
Cherished memories for Zuckerberg and Chan
In August 2024, Zuckerberg created a memorable moment by presenting Chan with an impressive statue he commissioned in her honor, which he unveiled in a heartfelt ceremony.
Alongside a photo on Instagram featuring Chan in a bathrobe with a mug in hand standing next to the statue, he wrote, “Reviving the Roman custom of sculpting images of your wife,” showcasing his affection.
This tribute symbolized their enduring love and Zuckerberg‘s deep regard for his wife.
Their romantic journey began at Harvard, where they first met and started dating while studying together. After nearly ten years, they exchanged vows in May 2012. In November 2023, Zuckerberg commemorated 20 years since their first date on Facebook, recalling their initial meeting at a farewell party held by friends, who believed he was about to be expelled.
“20 years since our first date,” he reflected, adding a playful comment about needing to ask her out quickly due to the fear of expulsion.
