Vanessa revealed that she is expecting while hosting the 96th Annual Academy Awards red carpet in March. 

Her pregnancy news came just months after she tied the knot with Tucker in Mexico. 

She described seeing Tucker at the altar as ‘the most emotional moment of my life.’

‘I literally keeled over when I saw Cole and had to take a big breath and had to force myself to keep walking because I could have dropped to the floor,’ she told Vogue days after the December 2 wedding.

The ceremony was attended by 100 of the couple’s friends and family and the two penned their vows themselves.

Hudgens noted her advice to others would be to ‘write your own vows and read them.’

‘It is the most beautiful thing ever in a relationship to be that open and vulnerable and raw in front of all of the people you love proclaiming your love. It’s just beautiful. I loved it,’ she gushed.

Earlier this year, Hudgens told E! News she’s had her future kids in mind throughout her career.
