AceShowbiz - Ashley Tisdale shared a humorous story about her 3-year-old daughter, Jupiter, on an episode of the "Breaking Beauty Podcast". Introducing the little girl to her classic Disney movie "High School Musical", the actress revealed that Jupiter mistakenly thought that Tisdale's co-star, Zac Efron, was her father.
Tisdale, married to Christopher French since 2014, recounted her daughter's confusion and her own amused response. "She thought Zac Efron was her dad. I was like, 'No, that's not Daddy,' " Tisdale shared with a laugh. "Just cause they have dark hair, it's not Daddy."
She admitted she wasn't prepared for that moment, explaining, "I think about a year ago, maybe my husband showed her it. I was like, 'What are you doing?' "
As Jupiter grows older, she is starting to ask questions about her mother's career and the attention it brings. "She did start to get to the age where she's questioning why people take pictures with me. And I truly did not know how to answer that," Tisdale noted. This led Jupiter to believe that posing for photos with strangers is a normal part of life.
In addition to Jupiter, Tisdale and French welcomed their second daughter, Emerson Clover, in September. The actress expressed her joy about being a mother of two girls. "I definitely love it," she told PEOPLE. "Obviously it's my favorite thing, and it's changed my life in so many ways."
Reflecting on Jupiter's new role as a big sister, Tisdale added, "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."
Ashley Tisdale is best known for portraying Sharpay Evans in the "High School Musical" series and voicing Candace in the animated series "Phineas & Ferb".
Despite the romantic tension between her character and Efron's in the films, Tisdale has always seen him more as a brother. "I think I just knew him too well and had been best friends with him for so long that it's like your brother that you're hanging out with," she explained.
This amusing incident with Jupiter has offered fans a delightful glimpse into Tisdale's family life, showcasing her endearing approach to motherhood and the charming moments that come along with it.
