Facebook’s First Lady PrisciIlla Chan “Would Love To Have Kids” With Mark Zuckerberg In First TV Interview;

Priscilla Chan, the wife of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, gave her first-ever television interview to the Today show’s Savannah Guthrieon Friday, May 30. 

During the loaded segment, Chan divulged how she was first pursued by the Silicon Valley magnate, in addition to her husband’s preference for hoodies and whether or not they plan to expand their family. 

“It’s incredibly odd,” Chan said of being part of a power couplewith Zuck, 30, whom she met while waiting in a bathroom line at a Harvard frat party. 

“I thought he was just this really interesting guy, who really wasn’t that studious.” She explained: “On our first date, he told me that he’d rather go on a date with me than finish his take-home midterm. The type-A first child in me was appalled.”

“I’ve since learned that he’s very bright,” Chan said, “and his type of learning is different than my approach to learning.” 

She’s also learned through the years that Zuckerberg, though a billionaire business exec, also has a softer side unbeknownst to the masses. “I think it’s a shame when people don’t see the funny, thoughtful Mark that I know,” she said. “He is incredibly sensitive and really cares about what other people need and want and really wants to be able to make someone else’s day. And that’s the Mark that I see.” 

Though she and Zuck “would love to have kids,” it might take some time between Chan completing med school and Zuck focused on his empire. She added how the two are also “so busy taking care of other people’s children right now.” 

The former schoolteacher and her husband also announced Thursday, May 29, that they will donate $120 million to help Bay Area public schools.
