Mark Zuckerberg has debuted a brand new look, leading some fans to call it a ‘midlife crisis’ makeover.
Zuck, 40, recently swapped his go-to computer nerd hoodies for ultra-expensive designer wares, including oversized shirts, man jewelry, and shearling coats.
The Facebook founder, whose Meta group owns Instagram and WhatsApp, also grew out his longtime buzz cut for a longer, curlier, and more relaxed style.
People on social media have speculated that he and wife Priscilla Chan, 39, could be heading for divorce as he shows off his new style on social media.
Mark met his longtime love Priscilla at a fraternity party at Harvard during his sophomore year in 2003.
They share three daughters: Maxima, eight, August, seven, and one-year-old Aurelia, who was born in March 2023.
Priscilla’s Instagram bio describes her as a ‘Science nerd, pediatrician, former teacher, mom of three amazing girls.’
Despite their seemingly loved up relationship, in a recent Reddit thread titled Mark My Words, one post was titled, ‘Mark Zuckerberg is currently undergoing a midlife crisis, there will be a divorce within three years.’

A recent Reddit thread was titled, ‘Mark Zuckerberg is currently undergoing a midlife crisis, there will be a divorce within three years’
Mark Zuckerberg and wife are stunned by Anant Ambani’s $1M watch
The thread continued to muse that there would be ‘lots of media coverage with him dating Instagram models and partying with Jake Paul,’ referencing the Disney star turned boxer.
The thread also showed a before and after picture of Zuckerberg, who has been spending time at Mar-a-lago with Donald Trump in the days since the election.
‘You owe your success to your first wife. You owe your second wife to your success…’ a commenter quipped.
However, not everyone thought the makeover would lead to a divorce, as some thought it was simply business related.
‘He’s just being a chameleon for personal gain,’ a commenter mused.
Some Reddit users accused him of getting plastic surgery, with one writing, ‘His plastic surgery is really obvious with the side-by-side photos.’
Others thought it was simply him stepping up his personal style with help from a professional.
‘Honestly I don’t think so. I think what we’re seeing now is a mix of an image consultant/wardrobe specialist and him pivoting with the changing political climate. None of it feels midlife crisis, it all feels calculated in my honest opinion,’ a commenter claimed.

The former Harvard student showed off a $900,000 Swiss watch when he announced that Meta is abandoning its independent fact-checkers on Facebook and Instagram
Zuckerberg shares bizarre anniversary tribute to his wife in Novembe.
In a separate Reddit thread, other people wondered about his style change, which people called previously ‘outdated,’ which ‘made people mock his appearance a lot online.’
One person wondered if the fashion overhaul was part of him promoting recently launched products, like Meta’s Ray-Ban sunglasses glasses.
The glasses boast two tiny cameras in the arms that let wearers snap photos and videos secretly.
The former Harvard student has been wearing upscale products of his own during the rollout, including a $900,000 Swiss watch.
Commenters thought the formerly ‘robotic‘ CEO’s fresh look could be attempting to fit in more with his peers, like Elon Musk.
Like the Tesla founder, Zuckerberg is now a vocal supporter of the President-elect – and he recently revealed Meta will end its fact-checking program.
Some Reddit users thought the fashion transformation could be his way of trying to relate to younger generations and lure them over to Facebook and Instagram, especially with the TikTok ban set for January 19.
