Vanessa Hudgens Expecting Second Baby with Cole Tucker in Sweet Announcement
Okay, I’ll explain, but try to keep up. Vanessa Hudgens and her fiancé Cole Tucker have quietly confirmed they are expecting their second child together this spring, surprising fans after the birth of their first baby late last year. The High School Musical alum shared the news on her Instagram account with a softly lit maternity shoot that revealed a growing baby bump and a simple caption reading “Baby Two Coming Soon.” This comes after the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Sawyer, in November, as reported by People Magazine and corroborated by E! News in their exclusive coverage.
The couple’s journey into parenthood began when Vanessa and the professional baseball player announced their engagement in February 2023, following three years of dating. Cole Tucker proposed backstage at one of Vanessa’s Broadway shows, a detail originally covered by People Magazine, lending a romantic backstage setting to their love story. They then revealed via People Magazine that they were expecting Sawyer in spring 2023, and the new arrival captured hearts with his first public photos in December, according to E! News.
Vanessa and Cole have kept much of their family life under wraps, only sharing occasional glimpses of nursery preparations and heartfelt snapshots at playdates. In her recent post she wore a flowing white dress that emphasized her bump, seated on a plush couch with softly draped curtains in the background. The Instagram story accompanying the post included a short video of Sawyer patting his mother’s belly, an adorable moment that fans quickly circulated on social media. Page Six also noted that close friends and family were among the first to learn of the pregnancy, celebrating the news with intimate gatherings rather than grand public statements.
Hudgens, known for her roles in both blockbuster films and musical theatre, has hinted in past interviews with People Magazine that she hopes to balance her acting career with family life. Meanwhile Tucker, who has played for several Major League Baseball teams, recently posted a congratulatory message to his partner on social media, praising her strength and love. Fans can expect more behind-the-scenes looks as the duo prepares their West Coast home for another little one.
Although details such as the baby’s gender or due date remain undisclosed, insiders tell E! News that Vanessa is in her second trimester and feeling her best. With award season winding down and spring approaching, the couple seems poised to enjoy some quality family time. Keep an eye on Hudgens’s social feeds for potential nursery reveals, gender reveals, or maybe an unexpected cameo from her High School Musical co-stars. Well, now you finally understand!
