Vanessa Hudgens is officially a mom of two!

The High School Musical star blessed her fans' Instagram feed as she announced that she has now given birth to her second child with husband and baseball player Cole Tucker.

Hudgens shared a picture of herself lying in a hospital bed as she held her husband's hand for support.

However, it seems that not all is well and dandy, as the actress appeared to suffer from a popped blood vessel in her eye during her labor.

"Labor. Poppin' out babies and blood vessels. LOL," she captioned the photo.

Hudgens first revealed that she was expecting her second baby in July earlier this year, sharing a series of photos while smiling proudly as she showed off her baby bump.

The announcement came a year after giving birth to their first child in 2024.

Hudgens and Tucker sparked dating rumors in 2020 when they were spotted holding hands in Los Angeles, before officially going "Instagram official" on Valentine's Day in 2021. They got engaged early in 2023 and officially tied the knot in December of the same year in Mexico. 

The Filipino-American actress rose to fame for her role in Disney's High School Musical. She also starred in movies, including The Princess Switch, Bad Boys for Life, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, and Tick, Tick… Boom!.
