The beloved Gabriella from High School Musical has captured our hearts and filled our childhood with sweet melodies and young love. And now, she’s reportedly taking her happily ever after to the next level as a bride-to-be! Vanessa Hudgens, the star of the franchise, has found her soulmate in Cole Tucker, a talented baseball player for the Reno Aces. The couple’s love story began in the most unexpected way – they met in a Zoom meditation class in late 2020.

Vanessa, known for her bold and confident approach to life, made the first move in their relationship by sliding into Cole’s DMs. She shared on The Drew Barrymore Show, “I found him [on the Zoom call], and we started talking. If I want something or someone, I’m going after them. I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, ‘Hey, it was nice to meet you.’ So I think there is no shame in making the first move.”

Half a year after their relationship first made headlines, Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker made their grand entrance on the red carpet as a couple. They turned heads at the premiere of the highly-anticipated big-screen musical adaptation of Jonathan Larson’s Tick, Tick… Boom where Vanessa starred alongside some of the biggest names in the industry.

Vanessa Hudgens’ love story with Cole Tucker serves as a reminder that love can be found in the most unexpected places and through the most unexpected means. Her bold approach to love and her willingness to take the first step in their relationship is an inspiration to us all. 

The digital world has opened up a whole new arena for us to connect, making it possible for us to come across love anywhere. Love is not restricted by time, distance, or even by the limitations of the physical world. With an open heart and an unwavering determination to find happiness, the possibilities are endless. We can’t wait to see this lovely couple walk down the aisle!
