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."

Hong Kong actress Myolie Wu is vacationing with her family in the Maldives and, in the process, dispelling any lingering rumours that her marriage is on the rocks. 'Our annual date with the ocean, love this paradise!' the 45-year-old wrote on social media on July 23, sharing several photos of herself and her family at a lagoon resort. The actress, who recently starred in Chinese TV series A Better Life (2025), is married to British-born businessman Philip Lee, 52. They have three sons, aged four to seven. The five of them were all dressed in shades of blue in the photos, with Wu resting her hands on her husband's shoulder in one picture. She added on Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu: 'Although the weather isn't great, it's a sunny day as long as we are together!' Mr Lee was in the news in March when he was spotted by a Hong Kong magazine hugging several women at a pub while celebrating his birthday. He took to Instagram to address the report, saying that he was a 'big hugger'. Wu did not react publicly to the incident for a while. Neither did she appear in the Instagram photos posted by Mr Lee of their youngest son's birthday in April, raising speculation of marital woes. The actress broke her silence in May, telling the media that it was a misunderstanding. 'In fact, those who were present that night were close friends and relatives,' she said. 'The two ladies who were photographed hugging my husband are friends whom I have known for many years, and their husbands were also present.' Wu added: 'My husband hugged both men and women. It was normal social interaction with his friends.' Referring to her marriage, she said: 'There are absolutely no problems in our relationship.'

Injured dancer Lee Kai Yin shares first photo of face since Mirror accident in 2022
Find out what's new on ST website and app. Lee Kai Yin shared a recent photo of himself (left) on social media on July 23. Hong Kong dancer Lee Kai Yin has shared a close-up photo of himself for the first time in three years. The 30-year-old, also known as Ah Mo, was critically injured in July 2022 when a giant LED screen fell on him during a concert by popular Hong Kong boy band Mirror at the Hong Kong Coliseum. Lee suffered a severe spinal injury and was in critical condition for more than a month. Reports then said he faced the possibility of being paralysed from the neck down. Hong Kong media said he has left the territory to continue his treatment overseas. On July 23, Lee shared on Instagram several photos, including one of himself in a wheelchair. Although filters were used on the face, the tattoos on his chest and one of his arms matched those in old photos of him. A scar was seen near his collarbone in the latest photo, which was probably caused by a tracheostomy tube in his neck. 'It's me!' he wrote in English, before adding in Chinese: 'I was encouraged by what the daughter of an optical shop owner said yesterday, so I'm going to share some of the little things which made me feel good lately and see if I can pick up energy from you all.' Lee shared a picture of the items on his table, including K-pop girl group NewJeans' official light stick, three Teletubbies figures, two photos of a sunset and two pictures of cats.
