Vanessa Hudgens is pregnant! And of course, she made the announcement in true Vanessa fashion — strutting her stuff on the red carpet before the 96th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in LA, proudly flaunting that adorable baby bump. We couldn’t be more thrilled for her and her hubby, Cole Tucker, who tied the knot just last December.
Vanessa slayed the red carpet game in a stunning black long-sleeved number, courtesy of Vera Wang Haute. It featured a mock turtleneck, body-con fit, and a flowy train — she’s just glowing! She topped the look with an array of diamond-encrusted jewellery from Chopard, all adding that extra sparkle to her pregnancy glow.
Currently, Hudgens is co-hosting the Academy’s official pre-show alongside Julianne Hough, adding to the excitement surrounding her personal milestone.

The love story between Tucker and Hudgens began in 2020, culminating in their engagement in February 2023, followed by a romantic beach wedding ceremony in Mexico later that same year.
Oh, and speaking of journeys, Vanessa recently opened up about her past relationship with Austin Butler, her eight-year love story that ended in 2020. But guess what? She sees it as a stepping stone, because it led her straight to Cole.
“I feel like so much of my character was built from my breakups,” she said on the She Pivots podcast. “I feel like my last breakup has really catapulted me to a very, very special place, obviously. You pushed me to the right person, which I’m so grateful for, because he’s just the most supportive, real, understanding human being that I have ever met.”
While we don’t know when Hudgens is due, or the gender — we can’t wait for all the pregnancy updates along the way. Congratulations!
