COUPLESHeating Up! Vanessa Hudgens & Cole Tucker Go Instagram Official For Valentine's Day
Hot and Instagram official! Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker confirmed their relationship on Valentine’s Day.
Hudgens posted a pic of the pair sharing a kiss on Sunday, February 14. "It's you, it's me, it's us. @cotuck ❤️💋🤟🏽," the High School Musical alum captioned the snap.
"Big love," her new man commented.
"Suddenly i’m in tears 🥺❤️," sister Stella Hudgens wrote.
"MO’MYGOD 🥰♥️🙏🏾 happy for your happy," Monique Coleman gushed.
The Pittsburgh Pirates star also confirmed their relationship on his own account. "Happy V day ❤️ @vanessahudgens," the 24-year-old captioned a photo of the pair cuddling and wearing loungewear.
"Melted," Hudges commented while Joe Jonas left three heart emojis.
The pair were first linked in November 2020 when they were spotted holding hands and hugging in Los Angeles. The same month Hudgens posted a photo of herself on Instagram holding a rose. "Date night," she captioned the snap.
"They are boyfriend and girlfriend," a source told E! News about the pair in January. "They rang in the New Year together."
The new relationship comes after the brunette beauty split from long-time boyfriend Austin Butler in January 2020 after almost nine years together.
Only a week after the news that Hudgens and Butler split, she was spotted on a date with Kyle Kuzma, but the split rumors had been circling long before the announcement when Butler was noticeably absent from his now-ex's social media feed.
Fans suspected that there was trouble in paradise when Hudgens went on a vacation to Switzerland without Butler and they celebrated the holidays separately in December 2019.
"Your girl’s open. I feel like at the end of the day, it’s just about having similar fundamentals and wanting the same things,” the Princess Switch actress told Entertainment Tonight in November. "I am not picky, really."
"I know what I want and I’m like, if someone comes into the picture and can give me all those things, then great. It doesn’t matter if they’re in the public eye or not. If anything, I prefer them not to be, but we’ll see."
While Butler wasn’t "The One," Hudgens does "want to get married, travel, then have kids — probably in my late 30s."
"Everyone’s clock is different," she told Women’s Health in 2018.
