Vanessa Hudgens is remembering the “simpler” days before becoming a mom of two.
“Well I haven’t gone to any holiday parties or even leave [sic] the home this holiday season,” Hudgens, 37, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, December 28. “Newborn life lol so here’s a photo of me in simpler times where I danced on tables. What a year it’s been. From this to mom of 2…. What a journey ❤️.”
Alongside the message, Hudgens shared a photo of her smiling as she rocked a hot pink one-piece swimsuit and kneeled on a table. She styled her look with a pair of sunglasses and tied her hair in a bun.
Hudgens’ post comes nearly one month after she and husband Cole Tucker welcomed their second baby.

“Well…. I did it. Had another baby!!! What a wild ride labor is,” she wrote via Instagram in November. “Big shout out to all the moms. It’s truly incredible what our bodies can do ❤️.”
In a separate post via her Instagram Story, Hudgens revealed that she popped a blood vessel during the delivery. “Labor: Poppin out babies and blood vessels lol,” she captioned a selfie.
Hudgens announced in July that she and Tucker, now 29, were expecting their second baby, sharing photos of the pair showing off her baby bump. “Round two!!!!” she wrote via Instagram at the time.
Hudgens and the baseball player met in 2020, and were later spotted holding hands in November of that year after her split from Austin Butler.

“Me and Cole met on a Zoom meditation group. Very random, yes,” Hudgens told Entertainment Tonight in April 2021. “Zoom, you’ve got to love it. He’s just kind of perfect for me. I am [happy]. I really am.”
One month later, Hudgens explained that she made the first move. “I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, ‘Hey, it was nice to meet you.’ So I think there is no shame in making the first move,” she said on The Drew Barrymore Show in May 2021.
Less than two years later, Us Weekly confirmed that the High School Musical star was engaged to Tucker. Hudgens went on to reflect about their relationship during an April 2023 appearance on the Today show.
“After our first weekend together, I called my sister and was like, ‘I think I just found my future husband,’” she said at the time.

Before Hudgens and Tucker exchanged vows, an insider exclusively told Us that the pair was envisioning their future together.
“They both want a family now and that’s what’s driving them toward getting married [soon],” the source told Us in June 2023, noting that Hudgens had “no doubt” Tucker would be a great dad.
The couple said “I do” in Tulum, Mexico, in December 2023. Hudgens announced her first pregnancy in March 2024, revealing her baby bump on the Oscars red carpet. Hudgens and Tucker welcomed their first child in July 2024.
“Mom, Dad and baby are happy and healthy,” she wrote via her Instagram Story at the time, gushing that it was a “special time” for the family.
