Vanessa Hudgens is sharing insight into her postpartum hair loss after welcoming her second baby with husband Cole Tucker in November 2025.
The High School Musical star, 37, took to her Instagram Stories on Monday, March 30, to share an image of herself holding a few strands of hair. “And so it begins,” she wrote over the pic.
Hudgens then shared a makeup-free selfie showing off her long dark locks. “Having a great day even with my hair loss lol,” she wrote over the image, in which she can be seen sporting a blank tank top and red nails.
According to the Mayo Clinic, postpartum hair loss is a common condition for new moms a few months after giving birth. “It’s caused by hormone changes that occur during and after pregnancy,” according to the academic medical center, and for most women, “hair will grow back to its original fullness.”
Hudgens and Tucker, 29, welcomed their second child together late last year. She gave birth to the couple’s first baby in mid-2024, just several months after they tied the knot in Tulum, Mexico, in December 2023.
Hudgens and her husband have not publicly revealed the names or sex of their little ones.
“Well…. I did it. Had another baby!!! What a wild ride labor is,” the actress and singer shared in a November 2025 Instagram post announcing she had given birth. “Big shout out to all the moms. It’s truly incredible what our bodies can do ❤️.”
In a followup Instagram Story, Hudgens revealed that she had popped a blood vessel while giving birth.
Hudgens met MLB shortstop Tucker in fall 2020 during a meditation session over Zoom. They wed in an intimate ceremony three years later.
“I also knew I wanted to get married somewhere warm, and our window for getting married was so small because Cole’s [baseball] season is very long,” she recalled to Vogue in 2023. “I felt like, ‘Mexico it is!’ I also wanted somewhere very spiritual. So I went to the hotel and got a really long tour, where I myself was not doing well, I was so hot and felt like I was going to faint. At the end of this very long tour, I was like, ‘Where would we have our ceremony?’ and they were like, ‘Oh, that would be at our museum,’ and they said, ‘It’s 45 minutes into the jungle.’ I was thinking, ‘Okay, that sounds aggressive, but I guess I’ll give it a try.’”
She added, “I felt like I was transported to some kind of utopia, unlike anything I had ever been to before. It was whimsical and magical, and I just fell in love.”
