Vanessa Hudgens is basking in the glow of new motherhood and a fresh hairstyle. The 35-year-old singer and actress recently took to Instagram to debut her new look, just days after confirming the arrival of her first child with husband Cole Tucker.
“Fresh trim n blow out got me feelin myself lol,” Hudgens captioned a video posted on Tuesday, July 9. In the short clip, the High School Musical alum is seen smiling and making a kissy face at the camera, showcasing her new shorter, face-framing hairstyle. Her previously long locks have been transformed into a chic, bouncy wave style with a center part. Hudgens complemented her new look with a multicolored floral patterned top and a choker necklace featuring a silver heart pendant.
Fans were quick to flood the comments with compliments and congratulations. “She’s a hot mom!!” one user wrote, while another added, “The most beautiful mom.” A third fan commented, “You’re glowing. ILY.”
Hudgens confirmed the birth of her baby via Instagram Stories on Thursday, July 4, following a report by TMZ. The couple was photographed leaving a Santa Monica hospital on July 3, which also happened to be Tucker’s 28th birthday. In her Instagram post, Hudgens expressed her disappointment over the invasion of their privacy during such a special time. “We’re disappointed that our family’s privacy was disrespected and exploited during this very special time due to the greed of a long lens camera feeding the media,” she wrote. “Despite all of that, mom, dad, and baby are happy and healthy.”
The new parents have chosen to keep details about their child, including the birthdate, sex, and name, private for now. On July 3, Hudgens also shared a heartfelt birthday tribute to her husband. “Happy birthday to my slice of heaven @cotuck 🥳,” she wrote on Instagram, alongside a series of photos with the MLB player, whom she married in December. “You make the world a brighter place just by being you ♥️🤟🏽.”
The couple has been enjoying their time together, recently being spotted on a date night in Beverly Hills, California. Hudgens wore a tight green maxi dress that accentuated her growing belly, paired with black heels, a black bag, and a black blazer. Tucker opted for a casual look with black jeans, Vans, and a white T-shirt.
Hudgens first revealed her pregnancy at the Oscars in March 2024, where she walked the red carpet in a black long-sleeved, floor-length dress that highlighted her baby bump.
As Hudgens navigates the joys and challenges of new motherhood, her fans continue to support and celebrate her journey. The actress has always been open about her personal life, and her latest updates have only endeared her more to her followers.
