Vanessa Hudgens Gives Birth to Second Baby: ‘What a Wild Ride Labor Is’
Vanessa Hudgens and her husband, Cole Tucker, have joyfully welcomed their second child, marking another milestone in their growing family. The actress and singer, known for her role in the beloved *High School Musical* franchise and hit songs like “Sneakernight,” shared the happy news on Instagram on November 29. In a heartfelt post, Hudgens included a photo of herself in a hospital bed, connected to monitors, while holding hands with Tucker, a former professional baseball player who recently retired from the Los Angeles Angels. In her caption, Hudgens expressed her awe at the experience of labor, stating, “Well…. I did it. Had another baby!!! What a wild ride labor is. Big shout out to all the moms. It’s truly incredible what our bodies can do.”
The couple had previously announced their pregnancy in July, delighting fans with glimpses of their journey to parenthood. Hudgens shared a maternity photo shoot featuring her baby bump alongside Tucker, showcasing their excitement and love for their growing family. Throughout her pregnancy, she offered fun updates, including a creative Halloween costume where she transformed into Mother Earth, painting her belly to resemble the planet. The couple welcomed their first child together in July 2024, and since then, they have chosen to keep many personal details private, allowing them to enjoy their family life away from the public eye.
In addition to her personal milestones, Hudgens is also making waves in her professional life. She recently won season 11 of *The Masked Singer*, showcasing her vocal talent, and is set to star in the upcoming ’60s thriller *Quiet Storm*. This film marks the directorial debut of Anthony Thorne, who also stars alongside Mira Sorvino. Hudgens plays the role of Abby Lynche, a romance novelist who confronts personal challenges during the tumultuous backdrop of Hurricane Camille in 1969. As she navigates the storm’s chaos, the film explores themes of social upheaval and women’s liberation, promising a captivating narrative. With her family expanding and exciting projects on the horizon, Hudgens continues to shine both as a mother and a performer.
