“We can’t wait to meet you,” Ashley captioned the announcement, with friends, family, and fans taking to the comments to share their congratulatory messages.
Following the birth of her first child in March 2021, Ashley has kept fans regularly updated on her day-to-day life with her growing family, with Jupiter’s adorable toddler antics making a regular appearance across the actor’s social media.
As the couple celebrate their new life as a family of four, we take a closer look at Ashley’s family life.
Who is Ashley Tisdale married to?
Ashley Tisdale has been married to musician Christopher French since September 2014.
Rumours of the couple’s romance first surfaced in late 2012 after Ashley and Christopher were photographed together in Los Angeles. In March 2013, the pair debuted their relationship on the red carpet of Spring Breakers. Just over five months later, Ashley and Christopher announced their engagement, with Ashley describing her proposal as the “best night of my life.”
In September 2014, the couple tied the knot in a relaxed outdoor ceremony in Santa Barbara, California, with Ashley’s fellow High School Musical alumni Vanessa Hudgens joining the bridal party.
Reflecting on the early days of married life, Ashley told CBS News, “This relationship was definitely different from any other relationship I ever had. Nothing is forced. It’s the best feeling ever.”

Ashley and Christopher welcomed their first child, daughter Jupiter, on March 23, 2021.
Following her pregnancy announcement in September 2020, Ashley opened up on her blog about her decision to have a child, writing, “Once I was married, everyone was asking when I was having kids… I wasn’t ready for that step yet and I wanted to be selfish and have Chris all to myself for a while.”
“After six years of marriage, we built a strong foundation, and the timing just felt right. I gave it to God and the universe and honestly didn’t feel stressed about it, and then it happened very quickly.”
As Jupiter continues to grow, Ashley revealed that her daughter has become her ‘mini-me’, telling People, “She definitely looks like my husband, but definitely is my personality… I was like, ‘I had you in my stomach for so long and how do you not look like me?’ but then you’re like, ‘Oh, you are so me. It’s not even funny.'”
Ashley also shared that Jupiter appears to already be following in her parent’s musical footsteps, telling People, “Honestly, music has been her favourite class that she’s been in since she was four months old.”
