Vanessa Hudgens Shows Off Massive Engagement Ring!
Is Vanessa Hudgens ready to show off her new bling? You can bet on it.
The High School Musical alum confirmed her engagement to Cole Tucker by sharing photos of her diamond sparkler from the baseball player. In a series of snaps posted on Feb. 9, the 34-year-old was pictured flashing a ring on her left hand as Cole, 26, wrapped his arms around her waist.
Vanessa also posted a close-up of the jewelry, which appeared to be an oval-shaped diamond resting on a thin gold band. The glitzy bauble matched the photo’s backdrop of the Paris night sky.
“YES,” the actress wrote in the caption alongside a white heart emoji. “We couldn’t be happier.”
The comments section was quickly flooded with well-wishes for the couple, with Vanessa’s Spring Breakers co-star Ashley Benson writing, “Love you guys.”
Meanwhile, Sarah Hyland expressed her excitement by quoting “Thank Goodness” from the Wicked musical. “Couldn’t be happier,” she commented. “Right here, Look what we’ve got, A fairy-tale plot, Our very own happy ending.”
Julianne Hough added, “That’s right baby!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!”
Vanessa and Cole first sparked romance rumors back in November 2020, when they were spotted on date in Los Angeles. The two made things Instagram official by the following Valentine’s Day, with Vanessa captioning a snapshot of her kissing the MLB star, “It’s you, it’s me, it’s us.”
Weeks later, Cole publicly addressed his relationship with Vanessa for the first time. “I’ve got a girlfriend and she’s cool,” he told CBS Pittsburgh in March 2021. “I love her.”
So, how did they meet? Like many couples who got together over the pandemic, Vanessa said she first laid eyes on Cole during a Zoom meeting with a meditation group. “I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, ‘Hey, it was nice to meet you,'” she recalled during a 2021 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. “So, I think there is no shame in making the first move.”
