French humorously commented, "😬 Here we goooo! I love you. We can do this lol.” The couple has been married since 2014, and they welcomed their first child, Jupiter, in March 2021.

Tisdale had previously opened up about her concerns surrounding postpartum depression following the birth of her first child. 

In a TikTok video posted in March, she mentioned the anxiety she felt when thinking about going through it again but reassured her followers that her doctor explained how hormone adjustments tend to happen more quickly with subsequent pregnancies.

In the final weeks of her pregnancy, Tisdale joked about her readiness to give birth, sharing on Instagram Stories, "I've been sick for three weeks... my whole body hurts and I literally can't wait to get that baby out."
