AFTER Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler called it quits, she moved on with Cole Tucker.
After three years of dating, the High School Musical alum and the Pittsburgh Pirates player walked down the aisle.
Born on July 3, 1996, Cole Bryson Tucker is a professional baseball player from Phoenix, Arizona.
Before he was drafted to the MLB at 18 years old, Cole played for several minor league teams.
On April 20, 2019, he made his major league debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
He played for the Pirates for three years until he was claimed by the Arizona Diamondbacks on June 5, 2022.
By December 7 of that same year, he signed a deal with the Colorado Rockies.
Regarding his baseball career, Cole told Nevada Sports Nation: “Baseball is a game.
“I’ve been so lucky and fortunate and blessed to make a career of it, but it is a game at the end of the day.
“So I try to keep it fun and keep it light and keep it a game because it can get serious.
“The business of it and everything, it’s hard and it’ll beat you up and chew you up and spit you out.”
On December 2, 2023, Vanessa Hudgens and Cole tied the knot.
The wedded pair held their ceremony in Tulum, Mexico.
While discussing her relationship with Cole, Vanessa confessed she met the MLB athlete virtually through a Zoom meditation group.
“Me and Cole met on a Zoom meditation group. Very random, yes,” she recalled to ET.
“Zoom, you’ve got to love it. I am happy, I really am. He’s just kind of perfect for me.
“I feel like at the end of the day, it’s just about having similar fundamentals and wanting the same things.”
On November 21, 2020, Vanessa was first spotted with Cole while leaving Canyon Country Store in Los Angeles.
They confirmed their relationship via Instagram on February 14, 2021.
When asked about his romance with the Tick, Tick…Boom! actress, Cole confessed to CBS News: “I got a girlfriend and she’s cool.
On February 2, 2023, it was revealed Vanessa and Cole became engaged sometime toward the end of 2022.
“She’s awesome. I love her but I don’t want to be treated any differently than Mitch [Keller] having his wife come down, or Ke’Bryan [Hayes] having his girlfriend come down.”
On March 10, 2024, Vanessa confirmed she and Cole are expecting their first child.
At the 96th Oscars red carpet, she debuted her baby bump after months of speculation.
On July 3, 2024, E! News reported that Vanessa gave birth to the pair’s first child.
At the time of publication, the baby’s name and sex have yet to be revealed.
