VANESSA Hudgens has given birth to her second child!

The High School Musical star, 36, is now a mom of two after going into labor and welcoming her second bundle of joy into the world.

She said it was a “wild ride labor” and also detailed how the labor caused blood vessels in her eyes to pop as she shared a graphic photo.

Taking to her Instagram, Vanessa shared a photo of her on a hospital bed.

She could be seen laying on her side in a black T-shirt while holding her husband Cole Tucker’s hand tightly.

“Well…. I did it. Had another baby!!! What a wild ride labor is.

WAIT A SEC…

Vanessa Hudgens’ fans think she subtly announced she gave birth to 2nd child

“Big shout out to all the moms.

“It’s truly incredible what our bodies can do,” she penned.

Fans and friends flocked to the comments to congratulate Vanessa and Cole on their new arrival.

“That is a very beautiful picture and a wonderful amazing woman she is going to be a great mother,” penned one person.

“Congratulations gorgeous mama bear. Well done. It’s truly a miracle,” said a second.

A third person wrote, “Congratulation’s Vanessa and Cole! So Happy for you both. Enjoy your new beautiful bundle of joy.”

Vanessa is yet to share a photo of the baby, or reveal it’s gender or date of birth.

Vanessa’s fans were left convinced that the star had previously welcomed the baby during the week when she shared a post on Instagram.

The actress shared a stunning photo of herself on the beach on Friday (November 28) saying she was “very grateful”- but fans noticed something was missing.

Vanessa‘s baby bump appeared to be gone as she wore a white dress.

Vanessa’s followers responded with confusion over her missing baby bump.

“Did Vanessa already give birth to baby number 2?” one fan asked.

Another noted a clue in her caption.

“In her last 2 posts she has said how tried she is – so I’m thinking she has had baby,” they said. “2 under 2 years would be hard!”

Vanessa and her husband Cole welcomed a son in July 2024.

The couple did not announce their baby boy’s name name, but she did hint that it started with the letter T.

The actress then announced her pregnancy with her second child one year later, posting “round two!” as she showed off her bare baby bump.

A nepo baby with two very famous actor parents has bagged herself a role in the new Peaky Blinders movie – can you guess who her mum and dad are?

Ruby, 27, has followed in her parents footsteps as an actor and according to IMDB, she’s set to star as Agnes Shelby in the upcoming film, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.

The highly-anticipated project is a direct continuation of the BBC One television series and has an epic cast.

Cillian Murphy is back in the role of Thomas Shelby alongside Stephen Graham, Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee and Ian Peck.

Ruby joins other actors who are new to the Peaky Blinders world, including Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Jay Lycurgo and Barry Keoghan.

Her actor and filmmaker father is best known for his motion capture roles working with animation and voice work for computer generated characters.

He’s starred in massive Hollywood films including The Lord of the Rings trilogy, King Kong and the Planet of the Apes reboot series.

His work has garnered him several BAFTA awards, a Daytime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe nomination.

Meanwhile, his wife also has an impressive resume, having appeared in massive shows including The Crown, Bridgerton and Grantchester.

And she most recently entertained fans in the BBC drama Riot Women, written by Happy Valley’s Sally Wainwright.

Have you guessed who Ruby’s famous parents are?

That’s right, it’s none other than Gollum actor Andy Serkis and his wife Lorraine Ashbourne.

As well as the projects previously mentioned, Andy has starred in other big projects including Avengers: Age of Ultron, The Batman and Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

The couple got married back in 2002 and live in London with their three children, Ruby, Sonny and Louis.

Ruby Ashbourne Serkis has already starred in some big productions, having bagged small roles in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies thanks to her dad.

She’s since carved out her own career with projects such as drama comedy film La Cha Cha and most recently, Netflix film Steve, alongside Cillian.

Ruby is also set to appear on stage at The Hampstead Theatre in Indian Ink, alongside Felicity Kendal and Gavi Singh Chera.

A synopsis for the play reads: “Satirising the self-importance of both academia and the ruling class, Tom Stoppard’s Indian Ink is an evocative meditation on art and love, exploring how creativity can bridge even the most profound cultural barriers.”

Both of Ruby’s brothers, Sonny and Louis, have also bagged the nepo tag and ran with it, and are also acting.

Sonny has appeared in mini series Masters of the Air, The Witcher, The War Below and Young Wallander.

While Louis is best-known for his role as Alex in the 2019 fantasy adventure film The Kid Who Would Be King.

Back in 2017, Andy directed the film Breathe, which is a true story about the love between Robin and Diana Cavendish.

Many fans thought the film was inspired by Andy and Lorraine’s own love story, having been married for 23 years.

However, Andy has clarified the project was inspired by the Cavendish’s story and the power of their love to overcome adversity.

Alice Evans KICKED OUT of court for taking photos of ex-husband during hearing

It comes more than two years after Fantastic Four star Ioan, 52, divorced British-American actress Alice, 57.

She played Chloe Simon in the film 102 Dalmatians as-well as Esther Mikaelson in the third season of the The Vampire Diaries.

The pair officially ended their marriage amid a bitter court battle and vicious custody row over their daughters.

Hollywood star Ioan also obtained a restraining order in 2022 against Alice.

Ioan and Bianca went public with their relationship in 2021.

The couple announced they were engaged in January 2024.

He revealed he was looking forward to giving marriage another go, captioning the photo on Instagram: “The most precious thing happened…”

They married in April this year and shared a video showing their romantic wedding ceremony.

Welsh actor Ioan could be seen wiping away tears as he expressed his love to Bianca.

Weeks later, they revealed they were expecting their first child together.

Australian actress and producer Bianca was diagnosed with incurable and aggressive MS (Multiple Sclerosis), an inflammatory disease which attacks the central nervous system and for which there is no cure, seven years ago.

She previously said she initially sought medical help when she struggled to pick up a pen to write, and admitted that “everything changed” thereafter.

Common symptoms of MS include fatigue, vision issues, and difficulties with walking or balance.

In September, Bianca was asked about her health and how she was coping being pregnant, and replied to a follower on Instagram: “Thank you for asking!

“The MS has been in remission and it’s been the most confronting, yet amazing thing to experience!

“I’ve heard breastfeeding also should help keep it at bay.

“My doctors have such great plan in place that I have a lot of hope that things won’t go back to how bad it was before pregnancy.”

Although there is no cure, various medicines and treatments can help alleviate some symptoms.

Speaking about her condition previously, she said in a lengthy post: “I celebrate this every single year. It pops up in my calendar and I have a happy moment …

“And so I’m at five years of MS today, not diagnosed, this is the day that the symptoms came up. I’m diagnosed October (2022), will be five years diagnosed.

“But I think it’s crucial and important to celebrate these moments and do not let them take you… these anniversaries, they really pack a punch in these kind of situations.”

HOLLY Hagan has revealed she is expecting her second baby just weeks after announcing her sister Darci Rose’s heartbreaking death.

Geordie Shore star Holly announced the teenager’s tragic passing last month.

Holly said Darci Rose passed away peacefully holding her hand surrounded by family.

She also revealed Darci was a beloved aunt to her young son Alpha-Jax, writing as she announced the news at the time: “She was the best aunty, Alpha-Jax adored her.

“She spent his whole birthday on the bouncy castle with AJ and Alba, and that’s a memory I’ll cherish forever.”

Holly, 33, has now told fans she will welcome another baby into the world next year.

The star also revealed in an emotional post on Instagram that she got to share her news with Darci before the 19-year-old’s sudden death.

Holly posted a video that included screenshots of a conversation they had over WhatsApp.

They were the siblings “last messages to each other” and Holly said: “I will cherish these forever.”

After learning she was to become an aunt again, Darci wrote to Holly: “I’m so happy for you, that made me want to cry.

“I did not expect that at all … you’re the best mummy to (AJ) already.

“They are both going to be so lucky. Love you.”

Holly also captured on camera the moment she saw her ‘positive’ pregnancy test for the first time.

And the prescious moments she told her husband, professional footballer Jacob Blyth, and her parents that she was expecting.

Holly wrote alongside the sweet video: “Our little rainbow amongst the storm. Baby Blyth no2 coming May 2026.”

Her Geordie Shore co-stars rushed to congratulate her as Sophie Kasaei said: “My darling girl ….

“Amongst the heartbreak you’ve been through this is your angel and the best gift you could have ever been given. Adore you and your family so much forever.”

And Nathan Henry penned: “This is just the most precious news.

“I’m so happy for both. And I’m so happy for you that Darci got to be apart of your new journey. Love you and congratulations.”

However, not all the items cost a fortune – guests can snap up a £42 photo frame.

FAMILY FEUD

But as excitement builds up to the couple’s big day at Bath Abbey in just over a month, Adam’s family feud is still rumbling on.

After it was revealed that the former Strictly star had uninvited his mum and his family to his wedding, the Olympic star’s aunt said Holly was “divisive and hurtful” in an online rant.

In response to this, his mum Caroline threw support behind her sister after she slammed her swimmer son’s wife-to-be.

Taking to Instagram, Caroline shared a quote which read, “The moment you realise: the little sister who once drove you crazy is now the one who keeps you sane.

“Your loudest supporter and forever best friend.”

Her post continued, “She eventually becomes the comfort zone which every elder sister secretly needed all along.”

Caroline wrote alongside the upload, “Louise I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my protector through this difficult time x.

“To the people are being so cruel to my sister, please stop. Sadly you obviously don’t understand the bond of sisters,” she said.

Caroline’s sister Louise had spoken out against Holly after it was revealed that Caroline hadn’t been invited to her hen do at Soho Farmhouse.

POLICE CALLED

Ina further twist in the ongoing feud, it was reported that Holly called the police while her husband-to-be was on his stag do in Budapest.

It’s claimed she had concerns he could be assaulted by his brother when he got back to the UK.

A source close to Adam and Holly said: “This feud is heartbreaking from both sides.

“But the reality is that Adam sees his mum Caroline to be enabling his brother’s actions rather than pushing him to deal with his demons.

“Poor Caroline must feel utterly torn and it’s just very hard for everyone.

“Gordon has been incredibly supportive of Holly and Adam; after all, he’s been through similar issues with his own brother.”

Adam’s father Mark previously told The Sun: “They’re brothers.

NEPO BABY LIFE

Her filmmaker dad, 54, has produced a number of hit movies including Kick-A**, Layer Cake, Stardust, Argylle and the Kingsman franchise.

Claudia has a huge net worth, and her daughter Clementine won’t be far behind.

The teen has shunned the spotlight growing up, but that’s all set to change.

Top brands have been eyeing her up for collaborations and she’s been stepping out with her mum to fashion shows across the globe.

Meanwhile, Vogue named her one of their “Darlings” in February 2024.

In the same year Clementine, who showcases her artistic talent on social media, re-located to New York.

She told the publication about her life in the Big Apple and said: “I’m a big walker, and rarely seen without headphones on.

“While finding my way around NYC, I’ve been listening to ‘Stayin’ Alive’ by the Bee Gees on loud.”

“Argan oil makes my hair so thick and healthy.”

MUM ROLE

Claudia recently opened up on juggling her mum role with her blossoming career.

She told how she was focussed on the “wellbeing” of her children and recently told Hello! magazine: “When I was in my 20s, travelling around the world, my focus was on my career – working hard, being competitive and getting to the top.

“That changed when I had kids, and now, I feel lucky to have such a wonderful family.

“I’m proud of my children, they’re very down to earth and their wellbeing is mine and my husband’s priority.

“I could take on a lot more runways, photoshoots and other projects.

A Married At First Sight UK couple have hinted at their baby plans as they shared their emotional final vows during the E4 dating show

A couple from Married At First Sight UK have shared their thoughts on starting a family during an emotional vow exchange.

As the experiment draws to a close, the remaining pairs are faced with the pivotal decision of whether to continue their relationships outside of the programme.

Abigail and John’s relationship has been blossoming beautifully since they felt an immediate connection on their wedding day.

Each Commitment Ceremony has brought them even closer together, with both confessing that they’re ‘falling’ for each other and even declaring their love.

In tonight’s episode of the E4 dating show, viewers were treated to the first part of the finale, as the couples are whisked away to stunning locations for their vow renewals, reports OK!.

Abigail and John were among the first to recite their final vows, deciding whether they will commit to a lifetime together or if their marriage concludes here.

John was left spellbound as Abigail approached him in a long white dress and a sparkling headband.

While delivering her final vows, she revealed that her husband has helped her regain her confidence. After hearing John say ‘I love you’, she confessed that it was a life-changing moment for her.

The bride hinted at plans to start a family, saying: “I came into this experiment wanting to find love. I found John, a husband and a happily ever after. I just know you’re going to be the most amazing father.”

John said his wife had transformed everything for him, with a family, home and future now feeling within reach.

He said: “I feel amazing. This is the perfect way to end the first chapter of our journey.” The delighted groom added: “let’s go spend the rest of our lives together.”

But it was a different story for fellow couple Leigh and Leah, whose relationship crashed to a dramatic end during their final vows after a furious row.

Standing in a wisteria-filled garden to exchange their vows, the atmosphere was far from romantic as Leigh declared that “a true loving relationship shouldn’t take this much effort and force”.

Her choice to end the marriage came as no surprise. Leah echoed similar feelings, noting that her wife’s “past hurt was often projected” onto her. She too decided to walk away from the relationship.

The rising star, 25, is following in her dad’s footsteps into the world of film – but can you guess who her famous father is?

Did you guess the nepo baby in question is Hollywood director Martin Scorsese’s daughter Francesca?

The 25-year-old is the iconic filmmaker’s youngest daughter, who he had when he was 56 with his third wife Helen Morris.

The 82-year-old director also has two other daughters, Cathy, 58, and Domenica, 49, from his previous marriages.

She finished off her eye-popping look with sexy stockings.

Francesca, who has previously revealed “grew up on film sets”, graduated from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, which is also her father’s college.

Martin also previously reflected on his relationship with his youngest daughter.

Speaking to SiriusXM last year, the director said that after he met his now-wife Helen, they were “gifted with this pregnancy.”

“It was extraordinary and by that point, I was 56 and it was a different perspective on life,” he told host James Corden.

“It suddenly became the most important thing, her and this little one that was coming.

“We didn’t know whether it was a girl or boy and then in the middle of the night, five weeks early.”

Reflecting on being a dad, now he is getting older, he added: “I’m 80 now, so you only have a certain amount of time left.

“That time has got to mean something.”

“They come in all sizes for adults, children and babies, they’re honestly so cosy. Palma loves hers.”

Michelle and husband Mark Wright welcomed Palma into the world on March 6 this year.

They announced the happy news with a black and white photo of their baby swaddled in a crochet blanket.

The couple shared: “Together we have a new love to share. Our little girl. Palma Elizabeth Wright, 06.03.25.”

Michelle isn’t the only one sharing adorable pictures with Palma as doting dad Mark also recently took to Instagram to share a sweet snap.

Last month, Mark posted a picture of his little girl on a playdate with pal Olly Murs’ daughter Madison.

The little girls were seen donning similar pale patterned baby-grows with a stray pink sock having been discarded by one of the tots.

Little Palma turned her face towards her tiny pal Madison, who is Olly’s firstborn and arrived in April 2024, before putting her hand on her shoulder.

Meanwhile their parents were seen smiling as they were watching over them like a hawk.

One fan was quick to post: “Awwww that is adorable. So lovely they can play together whilst growing up.”

Another responded: “Nah but this is mega cute! I hope they have the best friendship like you guys.”

A third put: “Aww so cute best friends for life,” while a fourth gushed: “Oh cuteeeeee!!!”

Mark and Michelle have kept their firstborn largely out of the spotlight, hiding her face from social media snaps to maintain her privacy.

Despite her new role as a mum, Michelle has no plans of slowing down her acting career as it reaches new heights.

The Sun recently revealed that US screen star Reese Witherspoon is keen for Michelle to play the lead in a big-budget movie adaptation of her new novel.

Oscar-winner Reese, 49, wrote crime thriller Gone Before Goodbye with American author Harlan Coben, who was behind Michelle’s Netflix hit show Fool Me Once.

Harlan introduced the women to each other at the launch of the book at the ­London Literature Festival, held at the capital’s Festival Hall last weekend.

A source said: “Harlan has been singing Michelle’s praises to Reese and she was keen to meet her. They got on really well and it was clear Reese was really taken with Michelle.

“The plan is to turn the book into a film and Michelle is their first choice to take on the role of the lead character, Maggie McCabe.

Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia and his wife, Kayla, announced on Instagram on Friday that their baby daughter, Sterling, died on Oct. 26 — a tragic loss that caused Vesia to miss the Dodgers’ appearance in the World Series last week.

“Our little angel, we love you forever & you’re with us always,” the Vesias wrote. “There are no words to describe the pain we’re going through but we hold her in our hearts and cherish every second we had with her.”

The Vesias had been expecting the birth of Sterling, their first child, during the Dodgers’ postseason run. Her death came during the World Series, forcing Vesia to step away from the club.

The day before Game 1 of the World Series, the Dodgers publicly announced Vesia was not with the team because of a “deeply personal family matter.” The Dodgers left him off their World Series roster, as well as the family medical emergency list, so as not to pressure him into feeling he needed to return.

“This is so much bigger than baseball,” Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said at the time. “And for us, it was doing whatever small part we could to just 100% be supportive.”

The Dodgers’ bullpen honored Vesia in Game 3 of the World Series, with each reliever writing his No. 51 on the sides of their caps for the rest of the series. The Toronto Blue Jays’ relievers did the same in Games 6 and 7, a gesture several Dodgers publicly recognized and deeply appreciated.

“I think it really speaks to the brotherhood of athletes, major league baseball players,” said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts ahead of Game 7. “Baseball is what we do, but it’s not who we are. And for these guys to recognize Alex and what he and Kayla have gone through — ‘heartbreaking’ is not even a good enough descriptor.”

“For those guys to do that, it’s incredible,” outfielder Kiké Hernández added. “They’re trying to win a World Series, but they understand that this is — life is bigger than baseball, and baseball’s just a game. For them to do that with the stakes where we’re at, hats off to them, and I want them to know that we appreciate ‘em.”

The Vesias also thanked the Dodgers, Blue Jays and baseball fans for their support.

“Our baseball family showed up for us and we wouldn’t be able to do this without them,” they wrote. “We have seen ALL your messages, comments and posts. It’s brought us so much comfort.”

Vesia was a key part of the Dodgers’ bullpen in both the regular season (when he had a 3.02 ERA in a career-high 68 appearances) and the first three rounds of the playoffs (when he allowed just two runs in seven outings).

On Thursday, the Dodgers picked up Vesia’s $3.65-million option for next season, avoiding arbitration before what will be his final year before reaching free agency.

Kieran Culkin and wife Jazz Charton made good on their Emmys pact, recently welcoming their third child, according to the former’s “Succession” co-star.

Oscar and Emmy winner Culkin’s on-screen sister Sarah Snook, also an Emmy-winning actor, announced the arrival of the couple’s newest child while speaking to Access Hollywood on Monday. “I met the little baby, it’s so cute,” she said during the premiere of Peacock’s “All Her Fault.”

“They’re very happy and so cute,” she added.

A representative for Culkin did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation. Charton, a contributor for the Financial Times, has not yet publicly addressed the arrival of their littlest one.

“A Real Pain” star Culkin, younger brother of “Home Alone” star Macaulay Culkin, tied the knot with Charton in 2013. They share two children, Kinsey Sioux and Wilder Wolf, and lovingly teased a plan to grow their family during the 75th Emmy Awards in January 2024.

Culkin, 43, famously used part of his acceptance speech for the lead actor prize to remind Charton, 37, of the deal they had struck prior to the ceremony. As he acknowledged his wife and children, Culkin declared, “I want more.”

“You said ‘maybe,’ if I win! I love you so much,” he told Charton from stage.

Charton confirmed that baby No. 3 was on the way in late September, sharing a cheeky Instagram post that also tapped into her well-documented fan love for “Matrix” star Keanu Reeves. “Saw Keanu Reeves on broadway and now I’m 9 months pregnant,” she captioned her post, which featured photos of her baby bump, “This is very on brand for me.”

She revealed she was expecting amid the debut of Reeves and longtime “Bill & Ted” collaborator Alex Winter’s production of “Waiting for Godot.” She quipped in her caption that she had “made a deal with this baby to let me make it to this [show] before labor, not sure what it wants in return but I’m CLEARLY a woman of my word.”

Snook, the first to break the couple’s baby news, has remained close to her “Succession” co-star since the hit HBO drama concluded two years ago. Culkin and Snook respectively starred as Roman and Shiv Roy, two of numerous potential — ahem — successors to media mogul Logan Roy (Brian Cox). “Succession” aired from 2018 to 2023 and won a total of 19 Primetime Emmy Awards, including acting prizes for Culkin, Snook and co-stars Jeremy Strong and Matthew Macfadyen.

With the arrival of Culkin and Charton’s third child, it’s clear that the “Succession” legacy now extends past powerhouse performances, viral memes and memorable lines. Anyone got a ludicrously capacious baby bag?

It isn’t crazy: Carly Rae Jepsen is expecting her first child with husband Cole M.G.N.

The Canadian singer-songwriter announced her pregnancy Monday in an Instagram post, sharing a few black-and-white photos of the couple and Jepsen’s baby bump that hint there may be some kicking going on.

“Oh hi baby,” Jepsen, 39, wrote in the caption along with a heart emoji. Her 40-year-old husband, whose full name is Cole Marsden Greif-Neill, is feeling so much love and excitement that he has been rendered speechless, if the multiple heart-eyes emojis are any indication.

According to the couple’s wedding spread in Vogue, Jepsen and the Grammy Award-winning producer tied the knot in October, and the couple had been trying to get pregnant while planning their New York wedding. The musicians first met as colleagues in 2021 and started dating in 2022 before getting getting engaged in September of last year.

In 2023, Jepsen told People that their first collaboration, the song “So Right” from her album “The Loveliest Time,” was in essence the couple’s “meet-cute.”

“This is our first little baby out in the world,” Jepsen told the outlet at the time. “I think you’ll see a lot more of our collaboration together for future projects.”

Known for her earworm 2012 hit “Call Me Maybe,” Jepsen most recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of the release of “Emotion” with a sold-out show at the Troubadour, where she performed the entirety of the 2015 album.

“‘Emotion’ was like an introduction to my authentic version of what pop music was,” Jepsen said of the LP in 2020. “I was itching to share something different, because I knew that ‘Call Me Maybe’ wasn’t the only color of what I had to offer.”

A nine-month-old baby has been killed in a dog attack in south-east Wales, according to Gwent Police.

Officers and paramedics went to a property on Crossway in Rogiet, Monmouthshire, at about 18:00 GMT on Sunday.

The dog was seized and removed from the address, the force said.

Police were working to establish the breed of the animal and no arrests had been made.

Ch Supt John Davies said: “Officers are on scene and will be making further inquiries as the investigation progresses.”

Residents said they were in disbelief at the death of the child, with the community in shock and trying to come to terms with what had happened.

They said they saw police cars and ambulances on the quiet residential street in south Wales at the time of the incident.

By 22:00 the police cordon had been lifted and all the ambulances and most police cars had gone, replaced by scenes of crime investigation vehicles.

At this time two police officers were still guarding a house on Crossway, a street now silent but for the hum of cars on the M4 and trains on the south Wales to London line.

WELL, arc at you, birthday girl!
