Vanessa Hudgens has broken her silence following the birth of her first child, using her platform to call out the paparazzi for intruding on her private, joyous moment. The 35-year-old actress took to Instagram Stories on Thursday, July 4, to address the recent arrival of her baby and express her frustration with the invasive actions of photographers.
Hudgens’ special moment was captured and published by several tabloid sites, including TMZ and the Daily Mail. The photos showed her being pushed out of the hospital in a wheelchair, effectively confirming the news of her baby’s arrival. This public exposure of her private life prompted Vanessa to speak out.
In her statement, Vanessa didn’t hold back her disappointment and anger. “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,” she wrote. Her words resonate with many who believe that there are boundaries that should not be crossed, especially during such intimate moments as the birth of a child.
Despite the frustration and intrusion, Vanessa reassured her fans and followers that the new family is doing well. “Despite all of that, mom, dad, and baby are happy and healthy,” she continued. This assurance provides some relief to her supporters, who have been eagerly awaiting updates from the star.
Details about the birth itself remain under wraps. The exact date of the baby’s arrival, the sex of the child, and the name have not been disclosed yet. Vanessa and her partner, Cole Tucker, have chosen to keep these details private for now, likely in an effort to shield their newborn from the intense media scrutiny that often accompanies celebrity births.
Congratulations to Vanessa and Cole on their new arrival!
