Vanessa Hudgens Gives Birth, Leaves Hospital with First Baby
Vanessa Hudgens is officially a mother … she gave birth to her first child, and it looks like things went well, because she’s taking her bundle of joy home.
Check out these photos of Vanessa leaving the hospital Wednesday in Santa Monica … where a nurse wheeled her out to her car with the baby swaddled in her arms.
The guy in the hoodie behind Vanessa is the proud father, Vanessa’s MLB player husband Cole Tucker … who seemed to have the added duty of getting their mountain of luggage out to their ride.
Cole’s actually celebrating his 28th birthday today, and going home with his first child sounds like a pretty good bday present.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Unclear when Vanessa gave birth, but it’s typical for mothers to spend anywhere from 1 to 3 days in the hospital after giving birth … depending on the method of delivery, and how the baby’s doing.
Vanessa and Cole started dating in 2020 before getting hitched in 2023 down in Mexico. She revealed her pregnancy this past March, showing off her growing baby bump at the Oscars.
No word on the baby’s name or gender yet. We reached out to Vanessa’s camp, but so far there’s no word back.
Congrats and good luck — first-time parenthood’s always an adventure!

Are we spending too much on other people’s weddings?
Going to a friend’s weddings can be so fun and meaningful… but it can also really hurt your wallet. A survey by LendingTree found that 31% of people who had been to a wedding in the past five years had accrued debt to attend. So what’s driving up the cost of weddings for guests? And what makes it so hard to say no to these expenses?
Brittany breaks it down with Allyson Rees, senior analyst at trend forecasting firm WGSN, and Annie Joy Williams, assistant editor at The Atlantic.
