Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker Welcome First Child Amid Privacy Controversy

Vanessa Hudgens criticized the paparazzi for invading her family's privacy following the birth of her first child with Cole Tucker. The couple, married since 2023, were photographed leaving a Los Angeles hospital. Hudgens announced her pregnancy at the Oscars 2024 and expressed career aspirations in a recent interview.

Vanessa Hudgens has openly condemned the paparazzi for intruding on her family's privacy. The criticism came after photos of the actress leaving a Los Angeles hospital with her newborn were published on Thursday.

Taking to Instagram on Friday, the actor-singer expressed her disappointment. "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," Hudgens wrote. As of now, she has not shared any images of her baby on social media.

Hudgens and her husband, Cole Tucker, welcomed their first child on Thursday. TMZ captured and published the initial photos of the family leaving the hospital, showing Hudgens in a wheelchair holding her newborn, accompanied by Tucker ensuring their safety.

The couple, who began dating in 2020 and tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Tulum, Mexico in 2023, are experiencing the joys of parenthood amid the glare of public attention.

Hudgens announced her pregnancy on the Oscars 2024 red carpet and discussed her career and legacy in a recent interview with E!. "I'll show my kids all my work. That's why I chose things along the way in my career. I wanted to make sure that when I did have kids, there would be something for them to watch at every age," she said. Hudgens was last seen in the film Bad Boys: Ride or Die, acting alongside Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. She has previously been linked to actors Austin Butler and Zac Efron.
