Hey there, folks! Let me tell you about some exciting news coming straight from Silicon Valley royalty—Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan are parents again! This dynamic duo, who first crossed paths at a Harvard frat party back in the day, now have their hands full with not one but two little bundles of joy. Their newest addition to the family? A darling little girl named August Chan Zuckerberg.
From Harvard to Parenthood: A Love Story
Mark and Priscilla’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. They met at Harvard during those formative college years and have built an incredible life together since then. Now, they’re expanding their family with their second child, continuing the legacy of love and innovation that they’ve always shared. August joins big sister Maxima, better known as Max, who arrived in November 2015.

Facebook Announcement and a Heartfelt Letter
The big reveal came, where else, on Facebook! Alongside a family portrait featuring the happy foursome, Mark penned an open letter to August, following the same tradition they started with Max. “Welcome to the world!” the note begins. “Your mom and I are so excited to see who you will become.” It’s clear that this couple isn’t just thrilled about their growing family—they’re genuinely curious and enthusiastic about watching their children grow into their own unique selves.

Big Dreams for Little August
In the letter, Mark and Priscilla express their hopes for August’s future, painting a vivid picture of the kind of world they want her to inherit. “When your sister was born, we wrote a letter about the world we hoped she and now you will grow up in—a world with better education, fewer diseases, stronger communities, and greater equality,” the letter reads. They go on to emphasize their belief in progress through science and technology, stating that August’s generation should live better lives than theirs.

But it’s not all about global change. Mark and Priscilla also focus on the little moments that make childhood magical. “You will be busy when you’re older, so I hope you take time to smell all the flowers and put all the leaves you want in your bucket now,” the letter continues. These tender wishes reflect the couple’s deep appreciation for life’s simple joys and their commitment to fostering creativity and curiosity in their daughters.
The letter concludes with a touching sentiment: “We wish you a life of joy, love, and the same hope you give us.” It mirrors the heartfelt message Mark shared when Max was born, emphasizing their dedication to making the world a better place—not just for their kids, but for everyone.
First Child Max: Setting the Tone
When Max was born, Mark didn’t just announce the birth; he used the moment to highlight a cause much bigger than himself. “Today, your mother and I are committing to spend our lives doing our small part to help… As you begin the next generation of the Chan Zuckerberg family, we also begin the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to join people across the world to advance human potential and promote equality for all children in the next generation,” they wrote. What a powerful way to celebrate new life!
