Vanessa Hudgens gets secretly engaged… Who is the fiancé?

After being in a relationship with Austin Butler for almost 8 years, Vanessa Hudgens is engaged to her boyfriend, Cole Tucker. According to different media reports, the couple took the next step for a life together last year on a romantic trip to Paris. "I’ll stop the world and melt with you," Hudgens wrote in her Instagram post. The couple looks very happy in the photos they share together and their fans couldn't be happier. Their posts together have hundreds of reactions as well as many comments congratulating them on how in love they both are.

The actress best known for her character as Gabriella Montez in High School Musical met the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball player through a Zoom joint that took place while she was part of Joe Jonas' meditation group in 2020.

Although these are just rumors for now as neither has made the news official, sources close to the couple say they took their relationship to the next level last year. Since confirming their courtship Vanessa and Cole have been inseparable and have shown they have something serious, mature and stable. They made their first appearance on the red carpet in 2021 during the premiere of Tick Tick…BOOM, the film she stars in with Andrew Garfield. In fact, on December 29 they celebrated their second anniversary together and spent the holiday season together.

Cole is a 26-year-old professional baseball player who grew up in Arizona, his father is African-American and his mother is originally from the United States. He is unique as a player because he can switch hits, which means he bats both right-handed and left-handed.
