Vanessa Hudgens revealed her pregnancy at this year’s Academy Awards, and it was just a matter of time before she announced the birth of her baby. The High School Musical star welcomed her first baby with her husband Cole Tucker in early July.
Hudgens’ pregnancy became official when she put her baby bump on full display while hosting ABC’s Academy Awards pre-show. She showcased her belly in a black long-sleeved, floor-length dress, just a few months after tying the knot with the MLB player Cole Tucker in December 2023.
The couple got married in a jungle-themed wedding in Tulum, Mexico, and Hudgens told Vogue she wrote her own vows because this process allowed her to get “open and vulnerable and raw” about their relationship.
Hudgens and Cole are yet to share the details about their newborn with the media. High School Musical actress criticized the paparazzi who snapped the photos of her leaving the hospital in Santa Monica before she got the chance to make an official announcement.
“We’re disappointed that our family’s privacy was disrespected and exploited during this very special time due to the greed of a long-lens camera feeding the media. Despite all of that, mom dad, and baby are happy and healthy,” she wrote in an Instagram Story.
