She tied the knot with an MLB player last December after three years of dating.
They got married in Tulum, Mexico, ten months after they got engaged.
The confirmation of the beauty of her pregnancy on Hollywood’s biggest night comes just days after she recalled feeling “fat” after “rude” pregnancy speculation during her October 2023 bachelorette party in Aspen, Colorado.
‘I went out on my bachelorette party and posted a video of me and there are all these comments like, “Oh my god. You’re pregnant.” And I think: that’s so rude. I’m sorry, I don’t wear Spanx every day and I’m a real woman and I have a real body.’
She added, “I’m literally celebrating one of the happiest times of my life, and you guys are making me feel fat. That is amazing. Thank you.’
Hudgens went on to discuss “the four agreements” that women must adhere to.

“One is not to make assumptions… in all aspects of life, but especially not about other women’s bodies,” she stated.
“We deal so much with other people trying to control our bodies, let’s not make assumptions about other women’s bodies too.”
In the original video from her bachelorette party, Vanessa wore a lot of baggy clothes, with many of her followers quick to ask if she was pregnant in the comments section.
However, Vanessa didn’t take kindly to the speculation as she replied, “[eyeroll emoji] I’m not pregnant, so you can stop.’

Fans went wild when Hudgens publicly debuted her baby bump on the Oscars red carpet
There were many commenters who concluded that she was pregnant with the baseball player, as one wrote ‘omg she is pregnant’ and another said ‘she is indeed pregnant.’
Others defended Vanessa as one said: ‘For those commenting on pregnancy is rude. We are human! She’s happy, so please don’t comment about her body if you don’t want someone to ask you.”
Elsewhere on the podcast, Vanessa shared that she was “grateful” for her split from Dune star Austin Butler, 32, when she met her forever person shortly after: her husband Cole.
Hudgens split from Butler and split in 2020 after nearly 10 years together. Austin moved on with Kaia Gerber, 22, who he was first seen with in December 2021.
Ahead of the show, Hough joked that she would be wearing a “terry cloth dress” to the event before revealing she was just “joking.”
Later she showed off the ‘real look’
As painful as her breakup with Butler was at the time, she can now reframe the breakup as something positive, as she began a relationship with her current husband not long after.
“I feel like my last breakup has obviously catapulted me to a very special place. You pushed me to the right person!
‘Which I am so grateful for! Because he’s just the most supportive, real, understanding human being I’ve ever met.”
Vanessa’s comment about her ex came after she was asked how certain setbacks led to her current success: “I feel like a lot of my character was built through my divorces,” she said.
“Also, the tenacity that I have, I think, comes from the fact that I started my career at such a young age and dealt with so much rejection, that you really have to build a very strong backbone to be able to keep doing it like everyone else you say no. That gives a lot of character.’
