Between finding time for herself and juggling her career, Tisdale told PEOPLE in February 2023 that she struggles with “mom guilt."

“I still am trying to find the work-life balance. She's just the best thing in the entire world. She's always so much fun," she said of Jupiter.

Here’s everything to know about Ashley Tisdale’s daughters, Jupiter and Emerson.

Jupiter Iris French, 3

On March 23, 2021, Tisdale’s first daughter, Jupiter Iris, was born. She shared the happy news on Instagram.

Shortly after her birth, Jupiter met some of Tisdale’s close friends and former costars, including Vanessa Hudgens. "Literally Jupiter opened her arms like hold me the minute she met Ness. Warmed my heart," Tisdale wrote on Instagram.

Eight months later, Jupiter met Tisdale’s Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure costar and close friend Austin Butler.

"He didn't get to see me pregnant in person because it's been two 1/2 years since he's been home but this guy FaceTimed me throughout and it felt like he was there," she wrote of the special moment they met on Instagram.

She added, "He even FaceTimed Jupiter in the hospital the morning after I had her. He's one of my best friends and to see him with Juju is so special."

Though Tisdale doesn’t necessarily want Jupiter to follow in her footsteps as an actress, explaining that she wanted her daughter to have a “very normal childhood” and “decide on her own when she’s older” what her career path will be, she does see her working in the entertainment industry.

"I think it will be in music because her dad is a composer and in music and she, honestly, music has been her favorite class that she's been in since she was like four months old," Tisdale told PEOPLE in February 2023. "We have a music class together, so I hope it's music."

A year later, she told PEOPLE that Jupiter was still very into music, and knew all the words to “This Wish” from the Wish movie.

“My daughter sings nonstop,” she said. “The fact that she knows all the words to songs is so wild. I think she’s destined to be a singer for sure.”

Now 3, Jupiter had a silly moment when she surprised Tisdale by dropping a particular F-word. Tisdale realized that her nanny had been reading her the satirical book Go the F--K to Sleep, after Jupiter told her that her dad read it to her before bed, when Jupiter corrected her during a reading of it.

“I grabbed it one night until I realized what it was, so I just kept on reading, 'Go to sleep,' " she told PEOPLE. "She goes, 'No, mama, no. It's go the f--- to sleep.' I was like, 'What the heck?' "

Emerson Clover French

Tisdale and French's second daughter, Emerson Clover, was born on Sept. 6, 2024.

"All three of us are obsessed with you," the actress wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of the family holding baby Emerson's hand.

Three days after Jupiter’s third birthday, Tisdale and French announced they were expecting their second child.

In a video posted on TikTok, Tisdale elaborated on her fears of getting pregnant again after her difficult first pregnancy.

"After I had Jupiter, I was like, ‘I’m not doing this again.’ I think it was like, physically really hard on me," she said. "It was just like, not for me the most amazing experience."

"I think I started to think about it in that way, that like what a blessing it is to be able to have this cute little baby come into the world," she continued. "When I think about it, do I see Ju-Ju as like, an only child?"

After seeing how social Jupiter was around other kids, she said she and Christopher decided there “should be a little sibling for her.”

“I’m excited and Jupiter’s excited. She keeps telling everybody the big news, that she’s going to be a big sister," Tisdale said. "I was very nervous though and had a lot of fear in the beginning, being like ‘Oh my gosh can I do this again? Can I physically do this again? Can I mentally do this again?’ "
