Vanessa Hudgens and her husband, former MLB player Cole Tucker, shared the exciting news that they are expecting their second child. The couple, who welcomed their first child last year, made the announcement in July, a month that holds special meaning for them.
They revealed their pregnancy through a heartfelt Instagram post featuring smiling photos outdoors, where they held hands and pointed to Vanessa’s baby bump. Vanessa simply captioned the post, “Round two!!!!”
Close Friends Celebrate with the Growing Family
The couple’s joyful news quickly drew congratulations from friends and family, including Chase, wife of New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger. Chase, who is known to be a close friend of Vanessa, has previously expressed admiration for the actress on social media. Earlier this year, she praised Vanessa after a Mother’s Day photoshoot post.
Cody Bellinger and Cole Tucker share a longstanding friendship that goes back to their childhood in Scottsdale, Arizona. The two were neighbors and teammates on a scouting baseball team during high school, which helped forge close ties between their families.
Highlighting their strong bond, Cody Bellinger was one of the groomsmen at Vanessa and Cole’s wedding, alongside Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Mitch Keller, another friend of the couple.
MLB Careers and Personal Milestones Intersect
While Cody Bellinger continues to make his mark as an influential player in the major leagues, Cole Tucker recently announced his retirement from professional baseball in May following mixed results throughout his career as a utility player. This milestone comes as the couple focuses more on their growing family.
July Brings Joy and Anticipation for the Parents
July appears to be a particularly fortunate month for Vanessa and Cole, as their son was born on Cole’s birthday earlier this year. The second pregnancy announcement arrived shortly after Vanessa celebrated Cole’s birthday with a selfie captioned alongside the couple wearing sunglasses and smiling.
It remains to be seen whether Vanessa Hudgens will make public appearances later this year, as she bravely did during her first pregnancy on the Oscars red carpet, highlighting her baby bump with confidence.
