Mark Zuckerberg made headlines over the weekend after taking center stage at his wife Priscilla Chan’s 40th birthday celebration with an unexpected performance.
The Meta CEO stunned guests when he stripped off his tuxedo to reveal a sparkly-blue jumpsuit, paying homage to singer-songwriter Benson Boone’s recent Grammy look.

Chan’s milestone birthday was marked by an extravagant black-tie event, featuring multiple outfit changes, an elaborate cake, and a crowd of friends and family.
While the birthday girl enjoyed the spotlight, it was her husband’s unexpected performance that left guests and the internet buzzing.
On Friday, Zuckerberg shared a video on Instagram showcasing his surprise tribute.

The clip began with him casually walking onto the stage in a tuxedo before two assistants helped him remove the formalwear, unveiling a glittering blue jumpsuit underneath.
Zuckerberg’s outfit was identical to the one Boone wore during his February performance of Beautiful Things at the Grammys.
While the tech billionaire didn’t attempt Boone’s signature backflip off a piano, he did make a dramatic leap off the instrument before appearing to belt out the song.
“Your wife only turns 40 once!” Zuckerberg captioned his Instagram post. “Shoutout to @bensonboone for the jumpsuit and new single.”
The video quickly gained traction online, amassing over 200,000 likes and thousands of comments within hours.

Boone himself responded to the clip, writing, “I can’t believe my eyes.”
While some praised Zuckerberg for committing to the bit, others questioned whether his performance took the focus away from his wife’s special day.
“Mark’s new update is very human,” one commenter joked, while another added, “A woman’s celebration and you made it about you, the husband…”
Another user wrote, “Why is he making himself the star of the show on his wife’s birthday? Be a gentleman, Zuck.”
The performance also fueled ongoing speculation about Zuckerberg’s recent image transformation, with some suggesting it was another sign of a “midlife crisis.”
Over the past several months, he has been seen sporting a new wardrobe, trading his signature hoodies for high-end designer pieces, jewelry, and shearling coats. He has also grown out his hair, moving away from his traditional buzz cut.
Earlier this month, he faced backlash for posting a photo of himself wearing a black hoodie with the words “Kim is my lawyer” in white text—a reference to Kim Kardashian’s legal career.
The post, which tagged Kardashian’s mother, Kris Jenner, led some to speculate about the state of his marriage.
Despite the social media chatter, Zuckerberg took to Instagram after the party to celebrate his wife, calling her “the most important person” in his life.
“Celebrating the most important person in my life. You are a great partner, mother, and friend, and I’m grateful to share this life with you @priscillachan,” he wrote.
His post featured images from the celebration, including a photo of the couple standing together in front of an elegantly decorated dinner table.
Another clip showed Zuckerberg delivering a heartfelt speech, telling guests, “Every year, you just grow more vibrant, and more beautiful, and I love you so much.”
Chan also shared photos from the event, showcasing four different outfits worn throughout the night.
One image featured her in a white gown as she blew out the candles on a cake designed to look like a champagne bucket with a personalized bottle labeled “Priscilla” and “Vintage 1985.”
Other pictures captured candid moments of her laughing, dancing, and celebrating with friends and family.
“Turned forty surrounded by family, friends, laughter and dance. I am so so lucky to be so loved,” Chan wrote in her post.
Zuckerberg and Chan have been together for over two decades, having met as Harvard undergraduates in 2003.
They married in 2012, just one day after Facebook’s IPO, and have since built a life together, raising three children.
While Zuckerberg’s latest antics continue to spark conversation, his public declarations of love for Chan suggest that, despite the internet’s speculation, the couple remains as committed as ever.
