Vanessa Hudgens has welcomed her first child with husband Cole Tucker. The "High School Musical" alum shared an update to her Instagram stories confirming the arrival of her baby. She called out TMZ, who was the first to share the news of her birth as well as share photos of Hudgens and Tucker leaving the hospital without their knowledge. "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. "Despite all of that, mom dad and baby are happy and healthy," she added.  The baby's birthdate, name or gender have not been disclosed yet.

Hudgens and Tucker first met on a Zoom meditation call where she made the first move. Hudgens confirmed their relationship in May 2021 while appearing on "The Drew Barrymore Show." “I found him and we started talking, and yeah, it’s wild that, yeah, we found each other over Zoom. I’m such a go-getter. If I want something or someone, I’m going after them. I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, ‘Hey, it was nice to meet you.’ So I think there is no shame in making the first move. If you want it, why wait for someone else to give you what you want?”

The pair got engaged in February 2023 where they shared a joint Instagram post with the news. "YES. We couldn't be happier 🤍," wrote the couple. In December 2023, the pair tied the knot in a jungle wedding in Tulum, Mexico. “[Writing my own vows] was important to me,” Hudgens told Vogue. “I would also say to everyone: Write your own vows and read them. It is the most beautiful thing ever in a relationship to be that open and vulnerable and raw in front of all of the people you love proclaiming your love. It’s just beautiful. I loved it.”

Hudgens, 35, revealed her pregnancy by debuting her baby bump at the 2024 Oscars red carpet. She wore a black long-sleeved, floor-length dress that was form-fitting to show off her baby bump.
