PHOTO: Cole Tucker's wife Vanessa Hudgens rocks 'braid day' look, wears special gold pendant honoring her new mom status

Cole Tucker's wife, Vanessa Hudgens, has again become active on social media after giving birth to a child earlier in July. The couple who married in December became parents around July 3, after which they went relatively silent on social media.

That changed on Friday, as Hudgens shared a selfie of hers in which she was rocking a "braid" look. She was also wearing a gold pendant honoring her new mom status, with "MAMA" written on it.

"Issa braid day," she wrote in the story.

Earlier last month, Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker were snapped by paparazzi leaving a Santa Monica hospital in LA with a baby. While Hudgens was in a wheelchair being helped off by a nurse, Tucker was right behind her, wearing a hoodie.

With their private moments going viral, the couple wasn't happy as they slammed paparazzi for invading their privacy without consent.

"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 social media. "Despite all of that, mom, dad, and baby are happy and healthy."

Vanessa Hudgens' newborn already made movie debut

For the fourth installment of the Bad Boys franchise, Vanessa Hudgens shot the remaining scenes, including those involving action while pregnant. This earned her accolades from her fellow star Will Smith, who shared behind-the-scenes difficulties Hudgens had to manage while still giving in full effort.

"So the strike happened [and] when she came back and we had to finish the movie, it was really [about] trying to figure out how to shoot around [the bump]," Smith told ET's Kevin Frazier during a screening of Bad Boys: Ride or Die.

Smith further lauded Hudgens for being a "hard worker" who "wants to get it done." He also motivated her by saying that she would be able to tell her kid that they were in a scene in their movie.

"I was like, 'No, don't worry. You'll always be able to tell your child that they were in this scene with you.'" Will Smith added.

Vanessa Hudgens, in a separate interaction with E!, mentioned planning to show her kid all the projects she has worked on so far.
