Ashley Tisdale is expecting her first child

In sweet matching posts on Instagram, the couple simply shared photos from a pregnancy shoot, leaving the captions blank as the pictures - which showed Ashley cradling her baby bump - definitely did the talking.

Ashley and Christopher's friends were quick to comment and share their support for the couple.

Vanessa Hudgens - who starred with Ashley in the hit Disney musical - wrote: "Just the freaking cutest (sic)"

Whilst Haylie Duff shared: "Been waiting for this!!! ... can’t wait! ... Best mama & papa combo! (sic)"

And 'The Big Bang Theory' star Kaley Cuoco was incredibly excited by the news, writing: "Omg congratulations!!! (sic)"

'Glee' star Lea Michele - who recently became a mom herself - also posted a sweet message for the couple.

She wrote alongside a love heart and star emoji: "So happy for you babe! You’re going to be the best mama! (sic)"

Back in July 2019, Ashley admitted she wasn't ready to become a mother just yet and was in no rush to have a kid.

Speaking during a partnership with pharmaceutical company Allergan - who makes birth control pill Lo Leostrin Fe - as she joined the 'Women Who Know' campaign, which encourages women to seek accurate information on their reproductive health, she shared: "Whether you’re traveling or you have work or education or you’re married and not ready to have a kid yet, there are options out there. For me, it’s like, it’s okay to not want to start a family right away. People are always asking me about that, but it’s just not the right time. And I have options out there."
