Vanessa Hudgens' Husband Cole Tucker Reveals Sex of Baby No. 2
Vanessa Hudgens has her head in the game when it comes to motherhood.
The High School Musical alum gave a candid look at her time at home with her and husband Cole Tucker's 20-month-old son and newborn daughter, neither of whose names have been publicly revealed.
Sharing a fresh-faced photo of herself laying on a living room rug, Vanessa wrote on Instagram March 19, "Never any make up and always on the floor. Mom life lol."
The 37-year-old gave birth to her first child in the summer of 2024, before welcoming her second baby last fall. And for Vanessa, parenting duties have her schedule pretty filled these days.
"Balance? I don’t know her," she quipped to E! News in August. "Life is crazy and time is a really precious thing. I am a person of extremes—I'm all in doing one thing or another. So I guess that's balance, if you call extremes balance.”
She continued, "Being a mom is literally the most exhausting thing on the entire planet."
Still, the Tick, Tick... Boom! actress is cherishing every second of her journey. As she put it, becoming a mom has taught her to "slow down and enjoy the moment."
“It's so easy to focus on things in the future,” Vanessa shared. “Say, ‘I'll be happy when,’ or, ‘Things will be easier when.’ But that's not what's important. What's important is the moment that is in front of you."

That's why she and Cole, who wed in 2023 after three years of dating, are encouraging their little ones to have a wide range of passions. In fact, Cole said their son already knows how to play baseball and a variety of musical instruments, including drums, piano and guitar.
“My wife and I both ended up having jobs that people told us would never come true or would never come to fruition, so we’re very open-minded,” the MLB star said in a January episode of the Baseball Isn’t Boring podcast. “Whatever our kids want to do, we’ll support them and love them no matter what."
