Vanessa Hudgens Announces Second Pregnancy: Baby Bump Photos Go Viral!

Vanessa Hudgens took to Instagram to reveal she’s expecting her second child with husband Cole Tucker

SPILL THE TEA: VANESSA HUGDENS IS EXPECTING BABY NUMBER TWO!

In a shocking turn of events, High School Musical alum Vanessa Hudgens is expanding her family - again! The 36-year-old actress, who recently tied the knot with her dashing husband Cole Tucker, has just announced that she's pregnant with their second child.

And let us tell you, the news is as sweet as it gets! Vanessa took to Instagram on Saturday to share the exciting update with her fans, and we can't get enough of the adorable snaps. The loved-up couple was spotted holding hands, laughing, and playfully pointing at her baby bump in a chic open shirt and matching skirt.

The caption read: "Round two!!!!" - and we couldn't agree more! Vanessa's first pregnancy rumor sparked last year after she posted some sultry photos from her bachelorette party in Aspen, Colorado. But little did anyone know, it was all leading up to this moment!

In an interview with Vogue after their wedding in Tulum, Mexico, Vanessa gushed about how seeing Cole at the altar was "the most emotional moment of my life." She even revealed that she "literally keeled over" when she saw him and had to take a deep breath to composed herself. Talk about love!

But what's even more intriguing is Vanessa's past relationship with Elvis actor Austin Butler. The two were together for a long time, but their breakup was nothing short of a blessing in disguise for the actress. In an appearance on the She Pivots podcast earlier this year, she revealed that she was "so grateful" for their split as it led her to meet Cole.

Earlier this week on Wednesday - shortly before celebrating the Fourth of July - Vanessa was seen cradling her newborn as she left a hospital in Santa Monica

Vanessa even went as far as saying: "You pushed me to the right person." Ah, isn't love just the best?! The couple's whirlwind romance began with a Zoom meditation session during COVID in 2021. After two years of dating, they got engaged in February 2023, and the rest is history.

And now, baby number two is on its way! We can't wait to see this adorable family grow and evolve together. Congratulations, Vanessa and Cole!
