Zac Efron’s sweet admission about ex-girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens pregnancy after she gives birth
Vanessa welcomed her first child with Cole Tucker yesterday (3 July)
High School Musical fans all over are overjoyed at the exciting news that Vanessa Hudgens has finally welcomed her first child with her husband, Cole Tucker.
The pair, who tied the knot last December, were seen leaving a hospital in Santa Monica yesterday (3 July) with a baby in arms.
The 35-year-old actor first shared the news of her pregnancy back in March during the Oscars red carpet, which prompted her ex-boyfriend, Zac Efron, 36, to make a very sweet admission about her.

News of Vanessa's pregnancy broke earlier this year, when the actor rocked up to this year's Oscars, showing off her blossoming baby bump.
And in an even more surprising twist of fate, a matter of days later, another HSM star - Ashley Tisdale - announced she's also adding a second child to her brood around the same time.
Since Vanessa's pregnancy, however, fans haven't been able to help but wonder how her former on-screen love interest Zac, 36, would feel about her settling down and starting a family.
The intrigue comes as the Hollywood pals did actually date in real life for a short time whilst filming the beloved HSM Disney movie franchise together, back in 2005.
Despite only being youngsters, the pair were actually in a relationship with one another for five strong years, before finally calling it quits in 2010.
Whilst Zac went on to date the likes of fellow actors Lily Collins and Halston Sage, Vanessa dated fellow Disney favourite Austin Butler for nine years.
The latter even got engaged before breaking the fans' hearts in 2020 by announcing their separation.
Despite seemingly having found her happy ending with her sportsman hubby, fans were dying to know what Zac thinks of his ex's happy news.
And - as if we should have expected anything less - the 17 Again star expressed his joy for her last month in an adorable statement.
Speaking to press about his co-stars' double pregnancies, he gushed: "Oh, they’re going to be the best moms ever, those girls. Are you kidding me?
"Oh my gosh. Yeah, we’re going to have some fun family reunions coming up.
What a gentleman!
In other Zac news, the actor recently starred alongside fellow Hollywood A-lister, Nicole Kidman, in one of Netflix's latest releases - A Family Affair.
Released only over the weekend (28 June), the film has already impressively climbed to the prestigious 'No. 1 in Films Today' spot in just a matter of days.
A Family Affair is currently available to stream on Netflix.
