Vanessa Hudgens Welcomes First Child with Husband Cole Tucker
Move over, “High School Musical” – there’s a new star in Vanessa Hudgens ‘ life! The 35-year-old actress and her husband, pro baseball player Cole Tucker, just hit a major home run with the arrival of their first child. Vanessa took to Instagram on the Fourth of July to share the joyous news, but not without a side of sass aimed at the paparazzi.
Celebrating both the birth of their baby and Cole’s 28th birthday, Vanessa couldn’t contain her excitement. However, the paparazzi decided to play spoiler. “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,” she wrote on her Instagram Story.
“Despite all of that, mom, dad, and baby are happy and healthy.” TMZ was one of the first outlets to report that the “High School Musical” alum had given birth. Their story included the paparazzi photos.
The love story between Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker is nothing short of a rom-com. Picture this: a Zoom meditation session, led by Jay Shetty, during the pandemic, where the couple first locked eyes (virtually, of course). Vanessa made the first move and slid into his DMs; the rest is history!
“I was literally on Zoom with my girlfriend, and I started hitting her asking who he was, and she had never seen him before,” Vanessa recalled in a December interview with Vogue. “So I proceeded to look on the Zoom square to find out his name and found him on Instagram — and he sent a DM the next day.”
The pair first went public with their relationship in 2020, following Vanessa’s split from Austin Butler. They announced their engagement in Paris, the city of love, and sealed the deal with a dreamy wedding. Their wedding last December in Tulum, Mexico, was a fairytale affair, with vows exchanged in front of their closest friends and family.
The news of Vanessa Hudgens’ pregnancy came shortly after the couple’s wedding!
Vanessa first revealed her pregnancy in true Hollywood style at the 2024 Oscars. She strutted down the red carpet with her baby bump front and centre in a stunning custom Vera Wang gown. She didn’t stop there – at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, she donned a sheer Jason Bolden dress, letting the world know Baby V was on the way.
As new parents, Vanessa and Cole are over the moon. “Vanessa is glowing and embracing this new chapter. She couldn’t be happier during this time,” a source told ET before the birth. “She can’t wait to be a mom and wants to provide and set a positive example for her little one. She is such a hands-on person in everything she does and this will undoubtedly translate into her parenting style. Cole has been catering to her every need. He’s a family man and is actively involved. He wants to be the best dad he can be. This is a dream come true for both of them. They are still living on cloud nine and loving married life.”
Despite the paparazzi drama, the Hudgens-Tucker clan bask in their new roles as proud parents. Vanessa’s protective mama bear mode kicked in when photos of her with the newborn surfaced online. While the couple addresses the challenges of newfound parenthood, they are committed to creating a loving and private environment for their new bundle of joy.
Congratulations to Vanessa, Cole, and their new bundle of joy – Baby V is here to steal the spotlight!
