Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has announced that he and his wife Priscilla Chan are expecting their second child.

“Priscilla and I are happy to share we're expecting another baby girl!”, he exclaimed in a Facebook post Thursday evening.

“When Priscilla and I first found out she was pregnant again, our first hope was that the child would be healthy. My next hope was that it would be a girl. 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.”

New dad Zuckerberg vows to give away Facebook fortune

The Facebook chief became a father in December 2015, when he pledged to give away 99% of his fortune to make the world a “better place” for baby daughter Maxima and others.

“We can't wait to welcome our new little one and do our best to raise another strong woman," concluded Zuckerberg.

SYJ | 7 years ago | Reply @Sultan Alvi I partially agree with you for his support shown towards his up coming baby girl but he didn't support another women whose is his wife. Medically proved that there must be a gap of 2 to 3 years for mother's health. But he doesn't believe in medical sciences nor even health of his wife. Strange.

Deena | 7 years ago | Reply @muhammad fahad noor . There is a difference in the maternal health in Pakistan (especially rural areas) and the west. A lot of women in our villages are malnourished and if they continue to produce every year without planning then this can have an adverse affect on their health and of the child. Please read about stunted growth in children in Pakistan. There is less of an issue if a healthy woman has a child back to back. We should encourage women to make wise decisions taking into account their own health.
