Tisdale shares her daughter, aged two months, with Cristopher French, whom she initially met over eight years ago. 

The happy parents only dated for eight months before they announced their engagement, and the two went on to solidify their union in 2014 during a dreamlike ceremony in Santa Barbara, California.

Hudgens notably served as a bridesmaid during her former castmate’s nuptials.

The two stayed strong as a couple for several years before Tisdale announced her pregnancy through a duo of photos that were shared to her Instagram account in September of last year.

The Young & Hungry executive producer regularly updated her fans about her experience through her social media outlets before she gave birth this past March.

The actress recently spoke at length with Yahoo, and during the sit-down, she remarked that her daughter’s name was inspired by a significant part of her childhood.  

Tisdale recalled: ‘I thought about the song my mom used to sing to me when I was younger. She used to pull up my stockings and the song goes “reach for the stars/there goes Jupiter/here comes Mars.”‘

‘Jupiter is such a powerful planet and I was just like, “It’s so beautiful, I love the name,” and my husband loved the name,’ she added.
