The shot comes after theย Bad Boys franchise star first revealed her baby bump on the 2024 Oscars red carpet.
“I literally just had a run-in with the public taking control over their opinion of me in a way that was disrespectful. I went out on my bachelorette party in October and I posted video of me, and there are all these comments that are like, ‘Oh my god, you’re pregnant,’” the Disney alum said on the She Pivots podcast. “I’m sorry I don’t wear Spanx every day and am a real woman and have a real body.” She added: “Don’t make assumptions in all aspects of life, but especially over other women’s bodies.”
Hudgens and Tucker got married in December 2023 after dating for three years. The couple tied the knot in Mexico in a beach-front ceremony.ย
Hudgens will reprise her role as Det. Kelly in Bad Boys 4. She made her debut in the third film, Bad Boys for Life. The third film, Bad Boys for Life, was released before the COVID-19 pandemic made waves. By the end of its theatrical run, the film grossed $426 million at the worldwide box office. It also had a booming domestic four-day opening of $73 million, becoming the second-best Martin Luther King Jr. weekend in history. All three previous films earned $840.7 million at the global box office.
