Here's all you need to know about the 'High School Musical' actress, Ashley Tisdale's controversial remark on celebrity mom group, and a deeper look into her marriage with Christopher French.
Ashley Tisdale is one of the most successful child actors in Hollywood history. Having worked on a series of successful teen sitcoms, she has also appeared in over 100 advertisements. Apart from her exceptional acting career, she often makes headlines for her statements and reactions. In January 2026, Tisdale found herself at the centre of a fresh discussion on social media after publicly announcing that she had stepped away from a celebrity “mom friend group”.
Sharing more light on the unimaginable shift that she witnessed in the celebrity “mom friend group”, Ashley Tisdale added that she joined the group after the pandemic and was extremely happy to find such a community of mature women. From talking about the lesser-known struggles of motherhood to taking care of each other during gatherings, it was all fun. Unfortunately, as time passed, the group’s dynamic became “too high school” and unhealthy for her mental health.
Ashley Tisdale hadn’t mentioned the name of any actress, but due to her past interactions with celebrity moms, Mandy Moore, Meghan Trainor, and Hilary Duff, and the fact that she no longer follows them, speculations are on the rise that these two might be a part of the celebrity “mom friend group”. While on one side, people are lauding Tisdale for her honest take, there’s a section of people who aren’t happy with the way she publicly brought these things up. As of now, Duff, Trainor, and Moore’s names are linked with Tisdale’s remarks, but there’s no official confirmation about their involvement or link to the celebrity “mom friend group”.
Amid all the buzz about Mandy Moore, Meghan Trainor, and Hilary Duff being linked to the ‘toxic’ A-list celebrity moms group, Ashley Tisdale’s rep has denied the speculation. The rep admitted that it is unfortunate that people have twisted Tisdale’s words and are spreading rumours that Mandy Moore, Meghan Trainor, and Hilary Duff were in that toxic “mom friend group”. The statement has shaken Hollywood, as Tisdale is a renowned global star with a multifaceted entertainment career spanning over two decades. Some of her most recognised sitcoms and music albums include High School Musical franchise, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Aliens in the Attic, Young & Hungry, Boston Public, Guilty Pleasure, It's Alright, It's OK, Headstrong, and many more.
Moving on to Ashley Tisdale’s personal life, she is married to a renowned musician, composer, and singer named Christopher French. The 44-year-old composer is best known as the lead singer of the alternative rock band, Annie Automatic. He has also famously worked on films and shows, including Unlovable, On Tour with Asperger's Are Us, animated series Harley Quinn, I on HBO Max, and much more. The composer is married to Tisdale, but the duo is extremely private about their happy married life.
Talking about the famous celebrity couple’s relationship timeline, Ashley Tisdale and Christopher met through mutual friends in 2012, and after becoming close friends, they reportedly started dating in the same year. On August 8, 2013, Christopher proposed to Ashley on the 103rd floor of the Empire State Building. The actress once described it as the “best night” of her life. After the dreamy wedding proposal, they married on September 8, 2014, in a private ceremony in Santa Barbara, California.
Ashley Tisdale and Christophe French welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in March 2021 and named her Jupiter Iris French. The couple became parents again in March 2024, when Tisdale gave birth to their second child, a baby girl, whom they named Emerson Clover French. The stunning couple is going through one of the best phases of their married life, as they’re enjoying their parenthood journey with their two daughters, far from the media’s constant spotlight.
