Mark Zuckerberg is looking back on his longtime love!

This week, the Meta CEO shared a throwback photo of himself and his now-wife Dr. Priscilla Chan and reminisced about how they first met.

“20 years since our first date,” the 39-year-old wrote in a post shared on Facebook. “We met at a going away party my friends threw for me in college when they thought I was about to get kicked out of school.”

Zuckerberg continued, “I asked her out but told her we'd need to go out soon since I might only have a few days left. Later on I started Facebook, we got married, and now have three wonderful girls. What a wild ride.”

In her own post, Chan shared that even though two decades have passed, "he still makes me laugh all the time and we are never short wild adventures."

"And now we have 3 little ladies riding along with us!" she added.

As an extra special celebration of their "dateaversary", the couple even "recreated one of their old date spots. " @pinocchiospizza1 how did we do?" Chan asked.

Zuckerberg and Chan's love story began in 2003 after meeting in line for the bathroom at a party at Zuckerberg's Harvard University fraternity when he was a sophomore and she was a freshman.
