Just days ago, Tisdale shared a picture of herself and her bump, and captioned the shot “Any day now.”

The couple announced that they were expecting a girl in late 2020.

“This year has obviously been hard,” Ashley wrote, revealing the gender. “For so many. Ups and downs, and an emotional roller coaster. I think this day was by far my favorite day EVER! I cried I was so happy.”

Ashley and Christopher got married in 2014.

The star recently opened up about her relationship with her body through pregnancy. She spoke to Frenshe, a lifestyle magazine, about her experience.

“I am so proud of my body, and I’m so grateful to be able to create a home and grow my little one,” she said.

She added that she finds the changes startling: “It’s like I don’t fully recognize myself and almost like an out-of-body experience. Thoughts like, ‘Is that really me?‘ come to mind.”

Ashley continued: “I think that you can love your body, no matter what shape or form, but it’s the acceptance part that trips me up a little.”
