Vanessa Hudgens has announced that she is expecting her second child with husband Cole Tucker. The couple shared the news on Instagram, posting a series of photos that highlight Hudgens’ growing baby bump. The couple, who became parents to a one-year-old last summer, is clearly excited about welcoming another child into their family.
In the Instagram post, which has already garnered over 700,000 likes, Hudgens, 36, proudly displayed her baby bump while wearing an unbuttoned white blouse paired with a matching skirt. Tucker, 29, complemented her look in a casual white T-shirt and jeans. The couple teased their followers with the caption: “Round two.”
Celebrity Reactions and Family Journey
The announcement has elicited an outpouring of congratulatory messages from fans and fellow celebrities alike. Notable responses include comments from Julianne Hough, who co-starred with Hudgens in Grease Live! (2016), expressing her excitement with “Oh. My. Yessssss congratulations beauties.” Similarly, Ashley Benson, one of Hudgens’ co-stars from Spring Breakers (2012), celebrated the news with a series of heart-eyed emojis.
Hudgens and Tucker first sparked romance rumors in 2020, and the couple’s relationship blossomed quickly. They announced their engagement in early 2023 and married in a picturesque ceremony in December 2023, held in Mexico. Their first child was born the previous summer, and Hudgens has been candid about her desire for privacy regarding her family life. After the birth, she expressed her disappointment over media intrusion, stating on Instagram, “We’re disappointed that our family’s privacy was disrespected and exploited during this very special time.”
Reflections on Motherhood
In a heartfelt post earlier this year for Mother’s Day, Hudgens reflected on her experiences as a mother. She described motherhood as an exhausting yet joyous journey, stating, “Becoming a mother has been the hardest, most exhausting but also incredibly fulfilling and joyous chapter of my life.” She concluded her message by celebrating all mothers, acknowledging the strength they possess.
As Hudgens prepares for this new chapter in her life, her journey resonates with many who appreciate the challenges and joys of motherhood. With the couple’s growing family and continued support from their fans and friends, Hudgens and Tucker appear ready to embrace their expanding roles as parents.
