Tisdale shared in a post on Instagram that the baby, named Emerson Clover, made her arrival on Friday, Sept. 6.
It’s the start of something new for Ashley Tisdale!
On Saturday, Sept. 7, the High School Musical alum, 39, shared the happy news on Instagram that she has welcomed her second baby—a girl—with husband Christopher French.
Sharing a close-up black-and-white photo of herself, French, and their 3-year-old daughter, Jupiter, holding the newborn’s hand, Tisdale revealed her daughter’s name and announced that she was born on Friday, Sept. 6.
“Emerson Clover French, all three of us are obsessed with you,” the actress wrote in the post’s caption. “She landed 9.6.24 🍀.”
In March, Tisdale announced that she and French, 42, were expecting their second baby together.
“We can’t wait to meet you 💫,” she wrote in her Instagram caption at the time, as she shared snaps of the couple and her baby bump. Their daughter Jupiter also appeared in the carousel, while French wrote in the comments, “😬 Here we goooo! I love you. We can do this lol.”
Tisdale and French have been married since 2014 and they welcomed Jupiter in March 2021.
Although she said she couldn’t “wait to meet” the new addition to their family, Tisdale got candid about some of her fears ahead of welcoming another baby in a March TikTok video.
“I suffered with postpartum depression the first time and so that definitely scared me, thinking about, oh having another one, like, just going through that again,” the actress and singer said in part in the video, posted on the same day she announced her pregnancy.
“But my doctor said that it’s interesting that on the second, your hormones just adjust so much faster. It wasn’t so much that I was depressed, I just had a lot of anxiety,” she added.
As for her daughter, “I’m excited and Jupiter’s excited,” Tisdale said in the video. “She keeps telling everybody the big news, that she’s going to be a big sister.”
Just last month, Tisdale joked that she couldn’t “wait to get that baby out” in a post shared on her Instagram Stories about the past few weeks of her pregnancy with Emerson, explaining that she’d “been sick for three weeks” and felt “exhausted.”
“I’m exhausted. I’m ready to have this baby but not ready,” the actress said. “I still need to wallpaper the room, get everything organized, so don’t come yet! BUT I’ve been sick for three weeks with adenovirus that turned into a sinus infection.”
“My whole body hurts and I literally can’t wait to get that baby out,” she added. “I think they make the last month this hard so your willing to throw yourself into something that would normally be so scary but you do it anyway.”
