Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker first fell in love in 2021 and got engaged in February 2023. By October 2023, Hudgens threw a weird bachelorette party, and in December, she was spotted wearing a white dress and people thought she was getting married. This was confirmed later this month when her pal Sarah Hyland shared photos from the beach wedding. So, all in all, the past few months have been quite eventful for the couple-to-be.
There’s no such pregnancy news on my bingo card today, especially considering how many of us have consumed Oscar’s big reveal. However, I was definitely not mad when the actress decided to drop her big news. It was certainly a way to kick off Hollywood’s biggest night, and one that fans are sure to remember now. Let’s wish Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker all the best with the rest of their pregnancies. It’s time to prepare them for an exciting new chapter in their lives: parenthood.
