Vanessa Hudgens: Mom Life is 'Exhausting but Worth It'
21 Mar
Summary
- Hudgens shared an unfiltered look at motherhood with a makeup-free photo.
- She described parenting two young children as the 'most exhausting thing'.
- Hudgens and husband Cole Tucker support their children's diverse interests.
Vanessa Hudgens offered a candid glimpse into her life as a mother of two on Instagram recently. Posing without makeup on her living room rug, the 37-year-old actress captioned the image, "Never any makeup and always on the floor. Mom life lol." This unfiltered moment came after welcoming her second child last fall, having given birth to her first in the summer of 2024.
Speaking with E! News in August, Hudgens acknowledged the chaotic nature of managing two young children, admitting, "Balance? I don't know her." She characterized motherhood as "literally the most exhausting thing on the entire planet." However, she also noted that the experience has profoundly shifted her perspective, encouraging a focus on the present rather than future aspirations.
Her husband, MLB star Cole Tucker, who retired in May 2025, shares a similar philosophy. In a January podcast appearance, Tucker emphasized their commitment to supporting their children's passions, whatever they may be. He shared that their son is already engaged in baseball, drums, piano, and guitar, underscoring the couple's dedication to fostering their children's individual pursuits without pressure.
Married in Tulum, Mexico, in December 2023, Hudgens and Tucker have cultivated a grounded family life away from the public eye, embracing the unfiltered realities of parenthood.
