Mark Zuckerberg couldn't resist telling his 59 million Facebook fans about the love he feels for his wife Priscilla on Thursday. The entrepreneur shared a heartfelt post about his "strong, kind, compassionate" wife as it was revealed the couple had been named on Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Sharing a photo of the magazine cover which features a black-and-white portrait of himself and Priscilla, Mark wrote: "Most days Priscilla works outside the spotlight in the hospital or the classroom. This is the first time she's on the cover of a magazine. I'm looking forward to the world getting to know the strong, kind, compassionate person I love so much."
