“My twin, my best friend, I love you” - Cole Tucker's wife Vanessa Hudgens sends heartfelt tribute to sister Stella on her 29th birthday
Major leaguer Cole Tucker and his wife Vanessa Hudgens are one of the more famous celebrity couples in the league at the moment. Tucker last played for the Los Angeles Angels while his wife, Hudgens, is continuing her life as an influencer and media personality.
On a recent Instagram post, Hudgens shared a photo of her sister Stella. The former Disney star greeted her younger sibling on her 29th birthday with a heartwarming caption.
"Happy birthday to my twin. My first best friend. My bloood. I love you so much you fox you," Vanessa Hudgens wrote.
Stella is the only sibling of Hudgens and both were born to Gregory Hudgens and Gina Guangco. The sisters' father is of English descent, while their mother is originally from the Philippines.
In 2023, Vanessa Hudgens was named as the global tourism ambassador of the Southeast Asian nation. Stella also dabbled into acting just like Vanessa. She starred in TV series such as Players, Powerless, and Smoky Nights.
Vanessa Hudgens selected as Philippines' global tourism ambassador
Just last year, the Philippine government selected Filipino-American actress Vanessa Hudgens as its global tourism ambassador. In a ceremony headed by the country's president, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the TV personality was bestowed the honor and responsibility of representing the nation across the globe.
Hudgens is partly-Filipino through her mother Gina Guancgco who hails from Ozamiz City in the country's southern island of Mindanao. The 35-year-old rose to prominence when she starred as Gabriela Montez opposite Zac Efron's Troy Bolton in the Disney hit-movie series High School Musical. Apart from her famous role, Hudgens has also starred in both TV and theater.
The actress is just one of the prominent celebrities of Filipino descent that has made a name for themselves in Hollywood. Lou Diamond Phillips, Hailee Steinfeld, and wrestler-turned-actor Dave Bautista are some of the names that can be associated with the archipelagic nation.
In 2020, Hudgens started to date then-Pittsburgh Pirate Cole Tucker. After three years, the pair decided to tie the knot in December 2023. The couple had their first child this year.
