Several High School Musical alums have gone on to become parents since their days of singing and dancing in the halls of East High.
“Ondine Michelle Pauline. Thank you for choosing @joeypauline and I to be your parents. You have an army of a family that’s been waiting for you,” Olesya Rulin, who played pianist and composer Kelsi Nielsen in the Disney Channel movies, captioned an August 2022 Instagram video of her newborn daughter.
The first time mom continued, “Thank you to all of the life lessons that have brought us to a place where we can welcome you with love in our hearts, peace in our minds, and gratitude in our souls.” The Russia native married her husband, Joseph Pauline, in November 2021.
Ashley Tisdale, who bossed around Rulin’s character in the films as queen of the drama club Sharpay Evans, is also a mom to two adorable little ones. She and her husband, Christopher French, welcomed Jupiter Iris French in March 2021. The pair welcomed their second daughter, Emerson, in September 2024.
