Actress Vanessa Hudgens is growing her family! The Bad Boys: Ride or Die star announced that she and her husband Cole Tucker, a baseball player, are expecting their first baby together. The news comes one year after the couple welcomed their first baby.
The couple took to Instagram with a joint post that revealed they were expecting their second baby. The High School Musical alum wore a two-piece white set, and the buttons of the top opened to expose her growing baby bump. She captioned the post simply, “Round two!!!!,” but didn’t reveal any further details about her pregnancy, including her due date or her baby’s sex.
The actress and MLB player welcomed their first baby together in July 2024, a baby boy. Their little one’s name hasn’t been shared yet. News the couple gave birth was reported by TMZ at the time, and the actress later came out and shared her frustration over her baby news being shared before she was ready. “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 Instagram Stories the day after the news came out. “Despite all of that,” she added, “mom dad and baby are happy and healthy.”
On Mother’s Day this year, the actress shared a throwback picture from her first pregnancy and wrote about motherhood, “Becoming a mother has been the hardest, most exhausting but also incredibly fulfilling and joyous chapter of my life. I couldn’t be more grateful for my little family.” The French Girl star and MLB player met in 2020 and announced they were engaged in February 2023. Less than one year later in December 2023, the couple tied the knot in a jungle wedding in Tulum, Mexico.
Congratulations to Vanessa and Cole on the news of their second baby!
