Some sources indicate that the baby may have been born on July 2nd, which coincides with Tucker’s 28th birthday.Hudgens, 35, and Tucker, 28, have a unique love story, having first met on a Zoom meditation group call during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Their relationship quickly blossomed, leading to their engagement in February 2023 and their wedding later that year.Despite the privacy concerns, the couple appears to be embracing parenthood. A source close to the couple revealed that Hudgens is ‘glowing and embracing this new chapter’ and ‘can’t wait to be a mom and wants to provide and set a positive example for her little one’.
