“Priscilla and I have some exciting news: we’re expecting a baby girl!” that was Mark Zuckerberg words on his Facebook page early this morning.
After three miscarriages, the billionaire and the CEO of the popular Social network (Facebook) website were happy to announce to over 19 million fans on his Facebook page that his wife is pregnant with a baby girl.
In his words “You feel so hopeful when you learn you’re going to have a child. You start imagining who they’ll become and dreaming of hopes for their future. You start making plans, and then they’re gone. It’s a lonely experience. 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”.
He further said, “In today’s open and connected world, discussing these issues doesn’t distance us; it brings us together. It creates understanding and tolerance, and it gives us hope”.
The couple got married after Facebook’s initial public offering in 2012, and since then they have become more open about their personal life. The 31 years old billionaire’s net worth is currently $41.7 billion and just last week Wednesday, Facebook Inc., released second quarter (2Q) earnings with a net profit of 31%. Double blessing!
“We’re looking forward to welcoming her into the world and sharing more soon when she’s ready to come out and meet everyone,” said Zuckerberg.
