Chief Executive of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are expecting a baby and its a girl!
The couple made the announcement with a post on Mr Zuckerberg’s Facebook page.
‘Priscilla and I have some exciting news: we’re expecting a baby girl!’ he wrote to his 33 million followers.
In his post, the 31-year-old father-to-be revealed that they had suffered three miscarriages previously, but added that the risk of miscarrying at this stage of the pregnancy was low.
He said that they had decided to share the experience to help others in a similar situation.
‘We
hope that sharing our experience will give more people the same hope we
felt and will help more people feel comfortable sharing their stories.’

‘Most
people don’t discuss miscarriages because you worry your problems will
distance you or reflect upon you – as if you’re defective or did
something to cause this. So you struggle on your own.’

The Facebook founder also referenced the popular ‘like’ feature on the social network.
‘In our ultrasound, she even gave me a thumbs up ‘like’ with her hand, so I’m already convinced she takes after me,’ he wrote.
The post did not say when the baby was due.
Congrats to the expectant couple.
