Cole Tucker’s life looks a little different these days. The 29-year-old former Pittsburgh Pirates first-round pick is now a husband, a dad, and building a post-baseball chapter off the field. But over the weekend, his wife Vanessa Hudgens reminded the internet that not too long ago, life looked very different.
Taking to Instagram, Hudgens, 37, shared a cheeky throwback that instantly caught fans’ attention. The former Disney star posted a photo of herself perched on a table, beaming in a hot pink one-piece swimsuit. She paired the look with oversized sunglasses, hoop earrings, and her hair pulled up into a messy bun secured with a yellow scrunchie.
“Well I haven’t gone to any holiday parties or even leave the home this holiday season. Newborn life lol so here’s a photo of me in simpler times where I danced on tables,” Hudgens wrote in the caption. “What a year it’s been. From this to mom of 2…. What a journey ❤️.”
Reactions poured into the comments section almost instantly.
“Hopefully one day I look as good as you feel in this picture 😍,” one person wrote.
“Once a baddie, always a baddie mama 🙌❤️,” another added.
“Damn !!!! 🔥♐️ BIG SAGITTARIUS 😍,” chimed in a third.
And it wasn’t just fans weighing in.
“I feel u girl 😂,” Jenna Dewan teased.
“😍😍😍😍,” Keke Palmer commented.
“Proud of you and you will be back on that table in no time! If I’ve got anything to do with it!” Rita Ora joked.
For anyone who’s missed a chapter, the post comes during a major life shift for both Hudgens and Tucker. The couple recently welcomed their second child in November, adding to a year that’s already been packed with milestones. Earlier in 2025, the High School Musical alum announced she was pregnant again, expanding their family less than a year after becoming first-time parents.
At the same time, Tucker was navigating a big transition of his own. The dad of two, who was selected 24th overall by the Pirates in the 2014 MLB Draft, officially retired from professional baseball in May, later explaining that it felt like the right moment to step away as big-league opportunities narrowed and his priorities shifted.
