Who is Vanessa Hudgens? Meet the High School Musical star who has been with MLB star Cole Tucker through thick and thin
Colorado Rockies outfielder Cole Tucker reportedly got engaged to Vanessa Hudgens of High School Musical fame towards the end of last year.
The couple started dating in November 2020. Ever since the actress confirmed their relationship with a Valentine's Day upload in 2021, they haven't shied away from flaunting their love life on social media.
Vanessa Hudgens has also been seen at baseball games supporting Tucker, traveling to Nevada for a Reno Aces game last September. She also attended many of his games while he was with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Hudgens is an actress and singer best known for playing the role of Gabriella Montez in the wildly popular "High School Musical" series. She was recently seen in the 2021 film "Tick, Tick...Boom!," starring alongside Andrew Garfield.
She garnered huge appreciation for her role in the movie, which went on to receive multiple Oscar nominations. She will next be seen in "Downtown Owl," co-starring Lily Rabe and Ed Harris, among others.
The 26-year-old utility players have recently been invited by the Colorado Rockies to join their spring training. Tucker endured a topsy-turvy 2022, which saw him appear for three teams: the Pittsburgh Pirates in the MLB, and the Indianapolis Indians and Reno Aces in the minor leagues. But Hudgens' support has remained unwavering throughout.
Here's the full report of the couple's engagement news.
