Jewish Actress Ashley Tisdale Announces Second Pregnancy

It seems to be a season of pregnancy announcements for the “High School Musical” stars, as following Vanessa Hudgens’ recent revelation at the Oscars, Ashley Tisdale, known for her role as Sharpey Evans in the franchise, has announced her second pregnancy. The Jewish actress and singer shared the news in a quintessential celebrity style – through a beautifully crafted pregnancy photoshoot featuring her and her growing bump, alongside her husband, composer Christopher French, and their three-year-old daughter, Jupiter Iris.

In her blog post, Tisdale candidly opened up about her initial reservations due to the challenges she faced during her previous pregnancy and postpartum period with Jupiter. However, she ultimately decided to leave it “up to the universe,” and soon received the joyful news. Reflecting on her current pregnancy experience, Tisdale expressed gratitude for a smoother journey compared to her first pregnancy, which coincided with the pandemic’s peak in 2020.

Tisdale’s connection to Judaism runs deep, with her upbringing including celebrations of Jewish holidays with her mother’s family whenever possible. Despite not having a bat mitzvah due to her busy acting career, Tisdale has always cherished her Jewish heritage. Recently, she shared a heartfelt tribute to her Jewish mother on Instagram, thanking her for instilling resilience and grace.

In a touching exploration of her family’s Jewish roots, Tisdale and her sister, Jennifer Tisdale, participated in an Ancestry ad last year. Through this journey, they unearthed fascinating details about their ancestors, including a great-great-uncle who owned a theater and a great-great-grandmother who embarked on a courageous journey to America with her infant daughter.

As the Tisdale-French family eagerly awaits the arrival of their newest member, their journey through parenthood intertwines with a rich tapestry of Jewish heritage and generational stories, marking yet another milestone in their evolving family tree.
