Vanessa Hudgens and her husband, professional baseball player Cole Tucker, welcomed their first child together this week. And while the former High School Musical and the Los Angeles Angels outfielder/shortstop were thrilled to welcome their new baby, but in an Instagram story on Thursday (July 4), Hudgens lamented that her special day was ruined by the prying eyes of the paparazzi.

“We are disappointed that our family’s privacy has been violated and exploited during this very special time by the greed of a telephoto camera feeding the media,” Hudgens wrote in the story, adding, “Mommy, daddy and baby are happy and healthy.”

Hudgens, 35, and Tucker, 28, who married in Mexico last December, had not revealed the baby’s name or gender at press time. The singer appeared to be referring to photos posted on TMZ on Wednesday, where Hudgens was seen leaving a Santa Monica hospital with the baby in a wheelchair.

Hudgens showcased her baby bump on the red carpet at this year’s Oscars in March.

Last month, a member of the Wildcat family, Zac Efron, sent good vibes to Hudgens, and another HSM alum, Ashley Tisdale, as both women awaited the birth of their children. “Oh, they’re going to be the best mothers ever,” he said Access to Hollywood on the red carpet of the premiere of his new romantic comedy, A family affair. “These girls, are you serious? Oh my God. Yes, we are going to have some fun family reunions soon.”

Both women announced their pregnancies in March, just two months before Hudgens was crowned winner of the 11th season of The Masked Singer after a flawless run in the goldfish costume.
