On July 5, 2024, Vanessa Hudgens took to social media to announce the arrival of her baby while calling out paparazzi for leaking the news of her childbirth. The new mom uploaded a statement on Instagram stories that said:
“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.”
On July 4, tabloids posted pictures of Vanessa Hudgens leaving a Santa Monica hospital with her husband, Cole Tucker, and their newborn baby. In the photos, the High School Musical alum was seen sitting in a wheelchair holding her baby while Tucker followed her carrying their things.

Vanessa Hudgens announced her pregnancy at the 2024 Oscar Awards
According to News.com, Vanessa Hudgens kept her pregnancy a secret from fans and tabloids, making a surprise entrance with her baby bump as she walked down the red carpet of the 96th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on March 10, 2024.
The Bad Boys actress was decked in a full-sleeved black gown, which she exchanged for a sheer black outfit for the Vanity Fair Oscars Party that followed.
Vanessa Hudgens met her husband, Cole Tucker, through a Zoom meditation session led by Jay Shetty in October 2020. The two connected through Instagram and started dating.
Hudgens, aged 35, married Tucker, aged 28, in December 2023. Tucker, a professional baseball shortstop for the Los Angeles Angels, proposed to her at the Eiffel Tower in Paris in February 2023. In an interview with Vogue after her wedding, Hudgens said she was caught "off guard" by the proposal, adding:
“It’s the most romantic city in the world. [But,] I was very surprised. I dropped a hint that that would be the ideal place, but kind of forgot about it because I didn’t want to have any expectations on the trip. I just wanted to enjoy it for what it was, and he caught me completely off guard.”
Vanessa Hudgens wanted her wedding venue to be surrounded by greenery and foliage, opting to move away from usual wedding choices like the beach or a ballroom. The couple enjoyed a destination wedding at the Azulik City of Arts in Tulum, Mexico, on December 2, 2023.
The actress wore Vera Wang gowns for both her wedding and reception, while Cole's wedding suit was from Me by Canali. Vanessa Hudgens imparted a word of wisdom for soon-to-be-married couples, saying:
“[My advice to others is] don’t do first looks, because seeing each other at the altar for the first time is the most emotional moment of my life. I literally keeled over when I saw Cole and had to take a big breath and had to force myself to keep walking because I could have dropped to the floor.”
On a professional front, Vanessa Hudgens' latest movie, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, was released on June 7, 2024. The movie is the fourth installment of the popular Will Smith and Martin Lawrence buddy cop franchise that started in 1995. Hudgens reprised her role as Kelly, a weapons expert first introduced in Bad Boys for Life in 2020.
