Vanessa Hudgens Flaunts Baby Bump in Luxurious Mexico Babymoon Photos
Zoe Bennett here with a well-researched, analytical take. The facts matter. Here’s what we know so far.
Vanessa Hudgens has turned heads with a series of sultry tropical snapshots from her recent babymoon at Nobu Los Cabos Residences in Cabo San Lucas. The 36-year-old High School Musical alum celebrated her pregnancy milestone alongside husband Cole Tucker, 29, as they prepare to welcome their second child. Multiple Instagram posts dated July 25 revealed Hudgens rocking a brown two-piece bikini, straw cowboy hat, and ivory jewelry while basking poolside. Accompanied by close friends Alexander Ludwig and his wife Lauren Ludwig, the group enjoyed the resort’s three-bedroom Sakyu Suite complete with private pool, barbecue area, and tranquil garden vistas, according to resort details shared with E! News. (Source: E! News)
During the retreat, Hudgens also showcased her growing baby bump in a set of black activewear, emphasizing both style and comfort. The couple’s first child arrived in July 2023, and fans have eagerly followed their expanding family ever since Hudgens announced her second pregnancy on social media earlier this month (Source: E! Online). The star balanced relaxation with self-care, booking a hydrotherapy session and massage at Nobu’s Essencia Spa to recharge ahead of motherhood’s next chapter.
Food highlights included a poolside lunch of Nobu classics: lobster tacos, shrimp tempura, mini sliders, and the signature bento box. In a refreshing contrast to evening glamour, Hudgens and Lauren Ludwig introduced their infants to the Cortez Pool on lazy afternoons under the sun. The two families also spent time in a private beachside cabana, reinforcing Mexico’s sentimental importance to Hudgens and Tucker. The couple exchanged vows in December 2023 during an intimate ceremony in Tulum, marking the start of their shared life abroad.
Hudgens articulated her evolving perspective on family life in an interview last November with E! News. She noted that maturity brings pragmatism and the need to guard against unnecessary stress. “Life is chaotic and hectic,” Hudgens said. “I don’t need to make it more stressful than it needs to be, so I keep things cozy. It is about what works for you that day and having grace for yourself because it will change.” This philosophy was evident in her choice of understated resort attire and low-key group activities that balanced privacy with a taste of luxury.
For context, Hudgens and Cole Tucker first went public on Valentine’s Day 2021, sharing their romantic debut photo three months after initial paparazzi reports of their connection in Los Angeles. Their red carpet history includes appearances at the 2021 AFI Fest and the 28th Screen Actors Guild Awards. In April 2022, Hudgens publicly celebrated Tucker’s MLB Opening Day, dubbing him “my king” on social media. The couple announced their engagement on February 9, 2023, captioning an Instagram reveal with a simple “YES.” Wedding planning followed, culminating in their picturesque Tulum nuptials just before year’s end. Tucker later announced his retirement from Major League Baseball in May 2025, shifting focus to family life.
This Mexico getaway underscores Hudgens’s commitment to combining celebrity glamour with down-to-earth motherhood preparation. Fans tracking her journey have been quick to comment on social media about her natural glow and beach-ready confidence. With her due date on the horizon, industry insiders and followers alike are poised for any new updates on baby number two and how Hudgens will integrate her Hollywood career with growing maternal duties.
More insights will follow as the couple shares additional details. Stay tuned for updates on their expanding family and next steps in Hudgens’s evolving lifestyle.
