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,” he continued. He grew up with three sisters, while Chan was one of three sisters. “We can’t wait to welcome our new little one and do our best to raise another strong woman,” he concluded. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4697121/mark-zuckerberg-pregnant-again/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4697121/mark-zuckerberg-pregnant-again/"},"headline":"Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan Are Expecting Another Daughter","datePublished":"2017-03-09T18:31:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:41:46.382Z","description":"They're expecting their second daughter.","url":"https://time.com/4697121/mark-zuckerberg-pregnant-again/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt554e7d036fe5e4f5/6988bdcd97cdfff31e6afc69/zuckerberg-chan.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt554e7d036fe5e4f5/6988bdcd97cdfff31e6afc69/zuckerberg-chan.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Mark Zuckerberg Awarded With Axel Springer Award In Berlin","caption":"Mark Zuckerberg Awarded With Axel Springer Award In Berlin","creditText":"Adam Berry—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4697121/mark-zuckerberg-pregnant-again/","name":"Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan Are Expecting Another Daughter"}}]}] ```
