Vanessa Hudgens and husband Cole Tucker celebrate the birth of their first child. The actress, 35, was seen leaving a Santa Monica hospital with her newborn and Tucker, who also marked his 28th birthday.
Bollywood Fever: Vanessa Hudgens has given birth to her first child with MLB star husband, Cole Tucker. The “High School Musical” alum, 35, was seen cradling her newborn as she left a hospital in Santa Monica, California, on Wednesday, July 3.
Hudgens, who was wheeled out in a blue wheelchair by Tucker, 28, and a female nurse, looked overjoyed with her baby wrapped in a white blanket with blue stripes, wearing a soft cap. Tucker, celebrating his 28th birthday, stayed close, ensuring their belongings were loaded into the car.

Vanessa announced her pregnancy in March at the 2024 Oscars, debuting her baby bump. Although she hosted a gender reveal party in May, she has not publicly confirmed the gender of her child.
Dressed in a blue pajama top and black sweatpants, Hudgens waited patiently with her husband at the hospital valet. Her raven hair was tied in a ponytail, and she sported black thick-framed glasses. Tucker wore an aqua blue hooded sweatshirt, shorts, and slide sandals, and was seen pushing a cart carrying their belongings, including a Dior duffle bag, Alo Yoga tote bag, and a brown backpack.
Several family members supported Vanessa and Cole at the hospital. Hudgens’ significant baby bump reveal at the Oscars did not surprise fans, as it followed months of speculation. For the event, she wore a skintight, high-neck black gown and showcased her bump at the Vanity Fair after-party in a glamorous sheer dress.

Throughout her pregnancy, Vanessa kept fans updated with Instagram posts and midriff-baring outfits in Los Angeles. In May, she discussed with E! News her plans to show her children her extensive film and TV work, ensuring her career choices would provide content for them at every age.
Vanessa and Cole’s romance began in 2021 after meeting during a Zoom meditation session. They got engaged in February 2023 and tied the knot in December 2023 in Tulum, Mexico. Hudgens described seeing Tucker at the altar as “the most emotional moment of my life.”
Before meeting Cole, Vanessa was in a long-term relationship with Elvis actor Austin Butler. She expressed gratitude for their breakup, as it led her to Cole. She praised Tucker as “the most supportive, real, understanding human being” she has ever met.
On top of becoming a first-time dad, Cole celebrated his 28th birthday. Vanessa honored him with a sweet Instagram post featuring photos of the couple kissing on a baseball field, sharing PDA during their wedding weekend, and attending a show at the Las Vegas Sphere. “Happy birthday to my slice of heaven @cotuck,” she wrote. “You make the world a brighter place just by being you.”
