Mark Zuckerberg has always been known for his tech innovation, but it seems he’s also got a flair for the dramatic when it comes to surprising his loved ones. For his wife, Priscilla Chan’s milestone 40th birthday, the Facebook founder didn’t just show up with a thoughtful gift—he made sure to deliver a memorable performance that involved a wildly unexpected outfit.
At Chan’s extravagant birthday celebration, which took place in honor of her February 24th birthday, Zuckerberg took the spotlight in an unconventional and bold way. The tech mogul had clearly drawn inspiration from the 2025 Grammy Awards, where singer Benson Boone donned a striking, tight-fitting blue jumpsuit that stole the show. Zuckerberg, eager to surprise his wife, stripped out of his formal black-tie attire to reveal the same high-fashion look that Boone had sported at the star-studded event.
The moment quickly turned into one for the books when Zuckerberg climbed atop a piano, grabbing the microphone to serenade Chan while the guests looked on in delight. The performance was set to Boone’s hit song, Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else, and the video of the moment quickly spread across social media. Zuckerberg couldn’t help but poke fun at the bold fashion choice, captioning the Instagram post, “Your wife only turns 40 once!” and giving a shoutout to Boone for the jumpsuit and his latest single.
But while Zuckerberg’s daring fashion moment might have seemed like pure fun, the singer Benson Boone—who was well-aware of the jumpsuit’s snug fit—couldn’t resist commenting on the discomfort that the outfit brought to the wearer. “I hope his nuts are okay,” Boone quipped under the photo of Zuckerberg’s performance. “That thing is so tight.” This playful comment referenced Boone’s own experience wearing the jumpsuit at the Grammys, where he admitted to adjusting himself multiple times due to its extreme restrictiveness. After his performance, Boone even took to Instagram to apologize for “adjusting my jumpsuit so aggressively on stage tonight,” citing how “extremely restricting” it had been in certain areas.
Zuckerberg clearly had taken note of the discomfort. In a follow-up post on his own Instagram Story, he shared his own realization, admitting, “OK I get it… it’s pretty snug.”
Yet, despite the wardrobe challenge, the moment was more than just a hilarious wardrobe choice. Zuckerberg also paid tribute to Chan in a deeply heartfelt way, delivering a touching speech that left the audience in awe. “Every year, you just grow more vibrant and more beautiful and I love you so much,” he shared with his wife. In his Instagram caption, he added, “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.”
Zuckerberg’s gesture wasn’t just about the jumpsuit; it was about showing his love and appreciation for Priscilla in a unique and unforgettable way. With his tribute, Zuckerberg not only gave her a memorable 40th birthday celebration but also a story that she—and their guests—will undoubtedly never forget.
