Vanessa Hudgens is going to be a mom!
The “High School Musical” alum will be welcoming her first child with her husband, MLB shortstop Cole Tucker.
On Sunday, Hudgens — who stunned in a floor-length black Vera Wang Couture gown — debuted her growing baby bump while co-hosting ABC’s “Countdown to Oscars: On the Red Carpet Live!” at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
She glittered in Chopard jewelry, including a necklace featuring a10-carat yellow pear-shaped diamond and nearly 30-carats of white diamonds as well as diamond rings and earrings from the brand’s Haute Joailler collection.
The baby news comes more than three months after Cole and Hudgens walked down the aisle in front of 100 of their closest friends and family in Tulum, Mexico.
On Dec. 2, Hudgens, 35, and the athlete, 27, exchanged vows at the Azulik City of Arts, a museum “45 minutes into the jungle,” the actress raved in a chat with Vogue at the time.
“I knew that it was our place,” she added. “I felt like I was transported to some kind of utopia, unlike anything I had ever been to before.”
“It was whimsical and magical, and I just fell in love.”
The “Princess Switch” star and the pro athlete fell in love with each other at the end of 2020.
They were first spotted hugging at the Canyon Country Store in Los Angeles that November, and after that, had no problem packing on the PDA.
The pair made their red carpet debut at the 2021 AFI Fest Opening Night Gala and got engaged less than two years later.
“I was extremely surprised,” Hudgens admitted to People following their engagement.

“It definitely caught me off guard and I was bawling my eyes out.”
It’s no surprise that she’s preparing to be a mom, as the “Sneaker Night” songstress said in 2022 that she planned to have kids in the near future.
“I always thought that around 36, 37 is when I would want to have kids, and that still plays,” she candidly explained to Nylon.
“I don’t feel panicked about it.”
In October 2023, though, Hudgens had to clap back at trolls who were spreading rumors that she was expecting during her bachelorette party.
“Not pregnant so y’all can stop,” she told curious fans under a video she posted from her bachelorette weekend.
