He wrote, "Priscilla and I are so happy to welcome our daughter August!"

The tech mogul also shared an open letter, addressed to his newborn. "Dear August, welcome to the world! Your mum and I are so excited to see who you will become. Childhood is magical. You only get to be a child once, so don't spend it worrying too much about the future. You've got us for that, and we'll do everything we possibly can to make sure the world is a better place for you and all children in your generation." He added: "I hope even in your dreams you can feel how much we love you. August, we love you so much and we're so excited to go on this adventure with you. We wish you a life of joy, love and the same hope you give us."
