Vanessa Hudgens Reveals Baby Bump On Oscars Red Carpet!

‘High School Musical’ actress Vanessa Hudgens has revealed she is expecting her first child with husband Cole Tucker while on the red carpet at the 2024 Oscars!

Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker first started dating in November 2020, but it wasn’t until December 2023 that the two tied the knot.

Now, the couple is getting ready to start a family of their own as Hudgens revealed her baby bump on the red carpet!

Vanessa Hudgens And Cole Tucker Are Expecting!

Vanessa Hudgens was one of the first to arrive on the red carpet at the 2024 Oscars as she is co-hosting ABC’s “Countdown to Oscars: On the Red Carpet Live!” at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. And, she started off with a bang as she revealed to media outlets that she is pregnant!

The 34-year-old stepped out in a tight floor-length black Vera Wang Couture turtleneck dress, which hugged her baby bump. She completed her look with Chopard jewelry, including a diamond necklace featuring a 10-carat yellow pear-shaped diamond and nearly 30-carats of white diamonds.

She also had on matching earrings and several diamond rings — but the smile on her face is truly what said it all!

“[Cole] treats her better than any guy she has been with. They are in a really good place,” an insider told Us Weekly when breaking the news. “With marriage and a baby, she is ready for the next phase of life.”

This comes just months after fans began speculating the actress had a bun in the oven after she shared pics from her bachelorette party.

“Why does she look pregnant to me or like she’s trying to hide a bump,” a social media user wrote at the time, to which Hudgens replied, “Not pregnant so y’all can stop.”

Vanessa Hudgens Is Ready For The Next Chapter In Life

Last summer, an insider close to the couple revealed that they have discussed having children and it as something they planned to have sooner rather than later. “They both want a family now and that’s what’s driving them toward getting married [soon],” a source told Us at the time.

She previously opened up about wanting to become a mom as in September 2022, she told Nylon, “I always thought I would be married at 25, because that’s when my mom got married, and then when that didn’t happen, I was like, ‘Oh, OK, So we’re just going to shift everything back a bit. I always thought that around 36, 37 is when I would want to have kids, and that still plays. I don’t feel panicked about it.”

The 96th Academy Awards airs Sunday at 7 p.m. ET on ABC.
