Huge congratulations are in order for Ashley Tisdale, who has announced that she's pregnant! The former High School Musical star has taken to Instagram to share some stunning photos of herself with her husband Christopher French to reveal a little baby bump.

Wearing a floaty white dress, the 35-year-old chose to let the photo do the talking, and refrained from writing a caption.

Aww! ❤️
