Congratulations are in order for Vanessa Hudgens and her husband, Cole Tucker, who are expecting their second child together.
The 36-year-old High School Musical alum shared the exciting news on Saturday (July 12) in a social media post, debuting her baby bump in a maternity photoshoot alongside the 29-year-old former professional baseball player.
“Round two!!!!” Hudgens captioned the Instagram post, beaming as she pointed to her growing belly.
Hudgens and Tucker’s celebrity friends flooded the comments section with well-wishes for the growing family.
“Omg!!!!!!!! Congrats,” Disney Channel alum Aly Michalka wrote, while Allison Holker and Alexandra Shipp both shared red heart emojis. “Ohhhhh congratulations my love!!” Jenna Dewan added. Hudgens’ former Broadway co-star Corey Cott chimed in with, “Congrats V!”
The couple welcomed their first child together in July 2024. While the Bad Boys: Ride or Die star was overjoyed by their baby’s arrival, she also expressed frustration that the moment was overshadowed by invasive paparazzi attention.
“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,” Hudgens wrote in her Instagram Story, referencing photos published by TMZ that showed her leaving a Santa Monica, Calif., hospital in a wheelchair with her newborn.
The pregnancy announcement comes just two weeks after Hudgens shared a heartfelt Instagram tribute for Tucker’s 29th birthday. The pair tied the knot in Mexico in December 2023.
“Happy birthday to my best friend/lover/partner in life,” the singer and actress captioned a photo of the couple wearing sunglasses and making silly faces. “@cotuck you’re everything to meeeeeee. No one does it better.”
“You’re the best mama thank you,” Tucker replied in the comments.
