Ashley Tisdale

New Jersey native Ashley Tisdale spent her childhood starring in dozens of commercials after being discovered at age 3 in a shopping mall.

Tisdale is now best known for her role as spoiled high school student Sharpay Evans in the High School Musical movies, a role she landed after playing Maddie Fitzpatrick on the Disney Channel’s The Suite Life of Zack & Cody for three years.

The success of the HSM film franchise has kick started Tisdale’s career as a recording artist; her first album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200. She followed up her 2007 debut LP, Headstrong, two years later with Guilty Pleasure. It was another 10 years until she released her third album, Symptoms.

Tisdale went on to star in TV series such as The CW’s Hellcats (2010-11), Carol’s Second Act (2019-20) and Merry Happy Whatever (2019) as well as animated series including Phineas and Ferb (2007-15) and Skylanders Academy (2016-18).

The actress launched her wellness brand, Frenshe, in 2020.

Tisdale got engaged to musician Christopher French in 2013 after one year of dating. They tied the knot in 2014. Six years later, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child. Their daughter, Jupiter, arrived in March 2021, and daughter Emerson was born in September 2024.
