Vanessa Hudgens and her baseball beau, Cole Tucker, are officially parents for the second time! The "High School Musical" alum couldn’t contain her excitement as she took to Instagram on a sun-drenched Saturday, November 29, to introduce the newest member of their family. “Well… I did it. Had another baby!!!” Hudgens, 36, exclaimed in her heartfelt post, accompanied by a precious snapshot from the hospital. “What a wild ride labor is. Big shout out to all the moms. It’s truly incredible what our bodies can do.”
True to her candid style, Hudgens shared a relatable tidbit about the delivery experience. In a follow-up on her Instagram Stories, she joked, “Labor: Poppin out babies and blood vessels lol,” highlighting the unexpected challenges she faced during labor. It's a reminder of the very real and raw aspect of motherhood that even Hollywood stars go through.

The stork has been busy in Tinseltown this year, with several celebrities expanding their families. Besides Hudgens, music superstar Rihanna and ASAP Rocky welcomed a new addition in September, and NFL quarterback Cam Newton introduced his ninth child with girlfriend Jasmin Brown in October. Jacqueline MacInnes Wood of "Bold and the Beautiful" fame also celebrated the arrival of her fifth child. It seems the baby boom in Hollywood is thriving!
Hudgens and Tucker's own love story reads like a Hollywood script. The couple first crossed paths in 2020 during a virtual meditation session (only in LA, right?), and their whirlwind romance took off from there. By February 2023, they were engaged, and just a few months later, Hudgens was gushing about how she knew Tucker was "The One" after their first weekend together.
The lovebirds exchanged vows in a dreamy Tulum, Mexico ceremony in December 2023, which Hudgens described to Vogue as "genuinely the most magical weekend of my life." Fast forward to March 2024, and the star announced her first pregnancy on the Oscars red carpet, basking in the glow of love and family.
With two little ones now in their lives, Hudgens and Tucker are embracing parenthood with open arms. The couple hasn't revealed the names of their children yet, but Hudgens did give fans a sweet peek into their family life on Father’s Day, calling Tucker “the best daddy in the world.” Their journey is a testament to finding love in unexpected places and celebrating life’s beautiful milestones together.
