Although details such as the baby’s sex and date of birth are unknown, photographs show Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker leaving a Los Angeles hospital with their baby.
The guy in the hoodie behind Vanessa is the proud father of Vanessa’s husband, Major League baseball player Cole Tucker… who seemed to have the added duty of carrying his mountain of luggage during the trip.
It’s unclear when Vanessa gave birth, but it’s typical for mothers to spend 1-3 days in the hospital after giving birth…depending on the delivery method and how the baby is doing. Also read – “Despicable Me 4” Expected to Top $200 Million Worldwide by Sunday
Vanessa and Cole
Vanessa previously announced her pregnancy on the 2024 Oscars red carpet. Then, dressed in a black high-neck Vera Wang dress, the former Disney Channel star happily cradled her growing baby bump in front of photographers, before hosting the show ABC’s Oscars red carpet.
Later that night, Vanessa bared her baby bump again at Vanity Fair’s annual Oscars after-party, this time walking the carpet in a sheer black Alberta Ferretti dress. Sharing photos of herself on Oscar night, the 35-year-old wrote on Instagram at the time: “One for the books.”
And just like her golden pregnancy reveal, Vanessa and Cole’s love story is far from the status quo. After all, they met on a group meditation call led by Jay Shetty during the COVID-19 pandemic.
After their initial meeting, Hudgens shared that she was the one who approached the professional athlete. About two years after the couple began dating, Tucker proposed to Hudgens in Paris. The actress announced the news on Instagram in February 2023 and married on December 2, 2023.
