Ashley Tisdale's life has changed in "so many ways" since she became a mother.
The 39-year-old actress has daughters Jupiter, three, and three-month-old Emerson with her husband Christopher French and admitted that motherhood has been the "best time" of her life so far.
She told People: "I definitely love it. Obviously it's my favorite thing, and it's changed my life in so many ways. I think it's been the best time, and I'm so grateful."
The 'High School Musical' star noted that her eldest has loved slotting into her role in as a big sister in a way that she herself never could, because she was the youngest of two daughters.
Ashley - whose older sister is former actress Jennifer Tisdale - said: ""She is for sure loving being a big sis. I was the baby sister, so I never got to be the big sister. So I'm so glad that the girls have each other."
The star - who found fame on the Disney Channel in the mid-2000s with her role as Maddie Fitzpatrick on 'The Suite Life of Zack and Cody' and also stars in the 'Phineas and Ferb' franchise - recently revealed that she initially thought she couldn't put herself through childbirth for a second time.
Speaking in a video posted to TikTok, she explained: "After I had Jupiter, I was like, ‘I’m not doing this again.’ I think it was, like, physically really hard on me.
"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.
"When I think about it, do I see Ju-Ju as an only child?
"There should be a little sibling for her."
