Mark Zuckerberg's Wife Priscilla Chan Poses With Bold 'Roman' Statue He Commissioned Of Her
By Raven Brunner
Mark
Zuckerberg is the ultimate wife guy!
On Tuesday, August 13, the Facebook founder, 40, shared
on Instagram that he commissioned a statue of his wife Priscilla
Chan, 39, to express his love in the way of the ancient Romans.
In the photo, Chan is seen sip- ping out of a trav- el mug while wearing a dusty pink robe with white and blue details as she stands next to the statue depict- ing her likeness.
The colorful art- work is made by Daniel Arsham and depicts the mother of three standing in a wind-blown silver garment.
"Bringing back the Roman tradi- tion of making sculptures of your wife," Zuckerberg cap- tioned the post,
which also included a video of the statue in a garden.
Chan shared the post to
her Instagram Stories with a cheeky comment, writing, "You can’t miss me!"
A blog about Roman sculp- tures by National
Museums Liverpool states that statues and busts from the period were often made to honor late loved ones or "to refer to sig- nificant relatives and to make meaningful asso- ciations."
The couple first met at a college party in 2003 when they were both attending Harvard. They got married in a surprise outdoor ceremony in May 2012 at their home in Palo Alto, Calif. The invited guests were under the impression that the party was to celebrate Chan's graduation from medical school.
Three years later, Zuckerberg and Chan welcomed their first child Maxima, 8. They also share
daughters August and Aurelia – the latter of whom was born in 2022.
This summer, the couple rocked matching
outfits at billion- aire heir Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's pre- wedding celebra- tion in India. In
a post on Instagram, they were seen in all- black outfits with Zuckerberg wear- ing a black suit with gold dragon- fly embellish- ments and a black shirt while Chan dazzled in a black dress with decorative gold flowers.
"Love an Indian wedding. Congrats to Anant and Radhika," Zuckerberg wrote in the caption.
