Earlier this year, Tisdale elaborated on her fears of getting pregnant again after her difficult first pregnancy in a video posted on TikTok.

"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," Tisdale continued. "When I think about it, do I see Ju-Ju as an only child?"

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