LA Angels outfielder Cole Tucker and 'High School Musical' star Vanessa Hudgens became parents on July 3. The couple were spotted outside a hospital in Santa Monica as paparazzi leaked photos on Thursday morning.

Hudgens, after getting discharged from the hospital, was in a wheelchair holding her baby and Tucker was right behind her in a hoodie.

After photos of them with their newborn surfaced on the internet, Hudgens slammed Paparazzi for invading their privacy. She took to social media to express her frustration while also mentioning the well-being of her family.

"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. Despite all of that, mom dad and baby are happy and healthy," Hudgens wrote in her story.
