It looks like there’s even more sunshine in Vanessa Hudgens’ life lately—and it’s not just the Mexican weather.
The High School Musical star is basking in the joy of expecting her second child with husband Cole Tucker, and she’s taking fans along for the ride with a tropical getaway and a glowing baby bump reveal.
Celebrating New Life on the Beaches of Mexico
Vanessa and Cole headed to Cabo San Lucas for a relaxing break, staying at the ultra-luxe Nobu Residences.
In true Vanessa fashion, the 35-year-old actress showed off her growing baby bump in a chic brown bikini and straw cowboy hat, fully embracing her sunny glow.
In one of her Instagram updates, she shared a series of snaps from the trip, captioning it, “Happy girl made it to @nobuloscabos.”
Whether she was lounging poolside or rocking sporty black activewear, fans couldn’t get enough of her effortless maternity style.
Round Two for Vanessa and Cole
The pregnancy announcement came with a sweet nod to their growing family.
Vanessa and Cole, 29, posed together dressed in white, with Cole lovingly pointing to her baby bump.
Their caption? “Round two!!!!”—a perfect way to mark the next chapter in their journey as parents.
The couple, who welcomed their first child in July 2024, seem thrilled to expand their little crew.
And judging by their smiles and chemistry, parenthood suits them perfectly.
Friends, Frozen Daiquiris, and Spa Days
Vanessa and Cole weren’t alone on their Mexican escape.
They were joined by close friends Alexander Ludwig (of Vikings fame) and his wife, Lauren.
The group enjoyed plenty of downtime in paradise—from sipping virgin daiquiris to indulging in seven-course dinners.
Vanessa treated herself to some much-needed pampering at the Essencia Spa, while the group dined at Muna’s rooftop restaurant, savoring fine food with a view.
A Mother’s Perspective
Reflecting on motherhood, Vanessa shared how deeply grateful she feels.
“Every moment with my little ones is a blessing,” she said.
“I’m so excited to watch our family grow.”
Her joy was echoed by Cole, who added, “We couldn’t be happier.
This journey is incredible, and Vanessa is glowing.”
From Disney Darling to Growing Family
While Vanessa is now busy building her family, fans still remember her as the star who sang and danced her way through High School Musical.
She’s maintained a loyal following over the years, especially on Instagram where she keeps fans updated on her life, her style, and her big milestones—like this one.
Fun fact? Vanessa and Cole’s love story began in the most modern of ways: a Zoom meditation group back in November 2020.
Proof that even virtual meetings can spark real-life love stories.
A 2025 Baby Boom and Parenting Joy
Vanessa’s second pregnancy is just one of many joyful family announcements this year, but it stands out for its warmth and authenticity.
She’s not just living a celebrity lifestyle—she’s openly sharing her excitement, vulnerability, and gratitude with her audience.
