Earlier in the year, Tisdale wrote on her wellness blog, Frenshe, reflecting on her journey to baby No 2. “Two years ago, if you’d asked me if I was planning for a second baby, I would’ve said no,” she confessed. But after some reflection, she and French realised they were ready to expand their family.

Curious about the man by Ashley Tisdale’s side? Here’s what we know about Christopher French.

Christopher French is a composer and multi-instrumentalist

Christopher French, 42, hails from California and now calls Los Angeles home with his family. According to his website, he “started experimenting with various tape machines (considered vintage by today’s standards) and electronic instruments” as a guitarist and songwriter in his teens. He went on to tour and record with alternative rock bands, and was the frontman of Annie Automatic.

He attended Berklee College of Music for film scoring and orchestration, and has scored shows like the DC Universe Animated Original Harley Quinn and HBO’s On Tour with Asperger’s are Us. He also composed the theme for the TV series Young & Hungry, which Tisdale executive produced.

He was the lead singer of Annie Automatic

Music has always been in French’s blood. He recorded and toured with the alternative rock bands The Why Game and Annie Automatic, per People – and was lead singer of the latter when he met Tisdale. One stand-out from the band’s catalogue, available on Spotify: a duet French recorded with his ex, The Big Bang Theory alum Kaley Cuoco.
