Ashley Tisdale got her fairy tale ending when she married Christopher French — and things have only gotten sweeter.
The former Disney Channel star was smitten with the musician shortly after the twosome were introduced by mutual friends in 2012. Eight months later, they were engaged. Tisdale wed French in September 2014.
Tisdale announced in September 2020 that she was pregnant with the couple’s first child. She gushed exclusively to Us Weekly in March 2021 about how “lucky” she was that she and French were “on the same page” about waiting to become parents.
“Now that it’s here, I’m so excited. I think that for us, we were clear like, ‘OK, I think it’s time and we’re ready,’” she said, just weeks before the couple’s daughter, Jupiter, was born. “I definitely have that motherly side, especially with how I treat my dogs. We’re definitely ready to be parents.” The couple announced in March 2024 that baby No. 2 is on the way. They welcomed their second daughter, Emerson Clover French, in September 2024.
