Vanessa and Cole welcomed their first child in July 2024, although have kept details about the name and sex private, and she expressed disappointment that she was unable to break the news of the birth herself after photographs of her leaving hospital in Santa Monica were circulated online.
She wrote on her Instagram Story: "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.
"Despite all of that, mom, dad and baby are happy and healthy."
Vanessa, 36, previously explained that she made her career choices with her future children at the forefront of her thoughts.
She told E! News: "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."
Vanessa married former baseball star Cole in 2023 but revealed beforehand that she expected to tie the knot and have children at an earlier age.
She told Nylon in 2022: "I always thought I would be married at 25 because that's when my mom got married, and then when that didn't happen, I was like, 'Oh, okay, so we're just going to shift everything back a bit.'
"I always thought that around 36, 37 is when I would want to have kids, and that still plays. I don't feel panicked about it."
She previously dated Elvis actor Austin Butler for eight years but is grateful that their split "catapulted" her to true love with Cole.
Speaking on the She Pivots podcast, Hudgens said: "I feel like so much of my character was built from my break-ups ... I feel like my last break-up has really catapulted me to a very, very special place, obviously.
"It pushed me to the right person which I'm so grateful for because he's just the most supportive, real understanding human being that I've ever met."
