Notably, Ms Chan and Mr Zuckerberg met in college and fell in love. A paediatrician and philanthropist, Ms Chan pursued her medical education at the University of California after receiving her degree from Harvard University.

After meeting at a frat party at Harvard University, the couple started dating in 2003. On May 19, 2012, the pair exchanged vows on Mr Zuckerberg’s estate. They marked their tenth wedding anniversary last year by recreating a scene from their nuptials.

On the occasion of New Year’s, the Facebook Co-founder took to social media to share a picture of him cradling his wife’s baby bump. “Happy New Year! Here’s to all of the adventures and love coming in 2023,” the caption said.

In the photo, Mr Zuckerberg was dressed in a black suit while Ms Chan wore a white dress. The couple was all smiles while posing for the photo. Another photo also featured Mr Zuckerberg sharing a candid moment with his daughter.
