This week marks the start of something new for Vanessa Hudgens and her husband, Cole Tucker.
The High School Musical alum and professional baseball player have welcomed their first child together, TMZ reports. In photographs published by the outlet on Wednesday, the couple, who married last year, can be seen leaving a Santa Monica hospital with Hudgens in a wheelchair, holding a bundled baby.
The news comes four months after Hudgens debuted her baby bump while walking the 96th Academy Awards red carpet in April.
Representatives for Hudgens did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly’s request for comment.

While the couple have yet to address the birth of their child on social media, the photographs were captured on the same day that Tucker celebrated his 28th birthday. Hudgens shared a carousel of photos on Instagram to mark the occasion.
“Happy birthday to my slice of heaven @cotuck,” she wrote. “You make the world a brighter place just by being you.”
In May, the Tick, Tick, BOOM actress opened up to E! News about one aspect of motherhood that she’s definitely looking forward to: sharing her career with her children.
“I’ll show my kids all my work,” Hudgens told the outlet. “That’s why I chose things along the way in my career. I wanted to make sure that when I did have kids, there would be something for them to watch at every age.”

Hudgens and Tucker, who originally ignited dating rumors in November 2020, tied the knot in Tulum, Mexico on Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023. In the days leading up to their secret wedding, the duo were photographed snapping beach photos with Hudgens in a white dress. They later detailed the specifics of their “magical” day in an interview with Vogue.
“I am so grateful that we got to have a private wedding,” Hudgens told the outlet. “Literally talking about it right now, I’m getting teary-eyed. I couldn’t have dreamt it to be any better. I knew it was going to be magical, but it exceeded my expectations.”
