Actress Vanessa Hudgens confirmed the birth of her first child while chastising paparazzi for photographing the actress and husband Cole Tucker as they left the hospital this week with their newborn.
The “High School Musical” alum, 35, didn’t mince words as she confirmed the news in an Instagram story Thursday.
“We’re disappointed that our family’s privacy was disrespected and exploited during this special time due to the greed of a long lens camera feeding the media,” said Hudgens. “Despite all of that, mom dad and baby are happy and healthy.”
Hudgens’ remarks come after TMZ published snaps Wednesday of a nurse wheeling her and her baby out of the hospital with Tucker following behind. Tucker, who turned 28 on Wednesday, shared Hudgens’ story on his own.
The pair, who wed in December, did not confirm on what day they welcomed their child, nor did they reveal the baby’s sex or name.
Hudgens debuted her baby bump in March while co-hosting the Academy Awards pre-show.
Hudgens shouted out Tucker’s special day Wednesday with a sweet selection of photos she shared on Instagram.
“Happy birthday to my slice of heaven @cotuck,” she captioned the carousel. “You make the world a brighter place just by being you.”
