Mark Zuckerberg is taking paternity leave now that his second daughter has been born

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, announced the birth of their second daughter on Monday.

The couple revealed the girl's name — August — but didn't disclose any other details about her, such as what day she was born.

Zuckerberg recently said that he would take two months of paternity leave after his second child's birth — Facebook offers four months of maternity and paternity leave to all employees. He'll take the first month immediately and then he'll go on leave again for the entire month of December.

Zuckerberg and Chan's first daughter, Max, was born in 2015. The couple unveiled their philanthropic fund, The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, on the same day they announced Max's birth.
