Vanessa Hudgens gave birth to a baby and shared her impressions of being a mother
Vanessa Hudgens is blossoming into a mother like a butterfly.
According to a knowledgeable source who spoke to E! News, the High School Musical actress gave birth to her first child with husband Cole Tucker.
The child of the pair is accustomed to big Hollywood moments because Vanessa previously made her pregnancy known on the red carpet of the 2024 Oscars.
Before presenting ABC’s The Oscars Red Carpet Show, the former Disney Channel star joyfully clutched her growing belly in front of photographers while wearing a black Vera Wang turtleneck gown.
At Vanity Fair’s annual Oscars after-party later that night, Vanessa showed off her growing baby bump once more while walking the red carpet in a black see-through Alberta Ferretti outfit.
The 35-year-old, who posted pictures of herself on Oscar night to Instagram, remarked at the time, «One for the books.»
Similar to her stunning pregnancy announcement, Vanessa and Cole’s love story defies convention. After all, it was during the COVID-19 pandemic that they first connected via a meditation group call led by Jay Shetty.
In a December interview with Vogue, Vanessa said, «I was literally on the Zoom with my girlfriend, and I started hitting her asking who he was, and she had never seen him before.»
«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.»
Soon after their early 2020 breakup, the Sucker Punch actress—who had dated Austin Butler for almost nine years—found herself at the beginning of something new.
«I think I just found my future husband,» Vanessa said, recalling how she called her sister after their first weekend together on an April 2023 broadcast of Today With Hoda & Jenna. «The foresight!»
