Vanessa Hudgens’ burgeoning romance with mlb” target=”_blank”>Pittsburgh Pirates< began in a “very random” yet Hollywood way.
“Me and Cole met on a Zoom meditation group. Very random, yes,” Hudgens recently told “Entertainment Tonight.” “Zoom, you’ve got to love it.”
Hudgens, who previously dated Zac Efron and most recently Austin Butler, was first linked to Tucker in November. The 32-year-old actress and the 24-year-old athlete made their romance Instagram-official on Valentine’s Day.
Hudgens said Tucker is “kind of perfect” for her.

“I am [happy]. I really am,” she told “ET.” “I think that it’s also so important to stay grateful for everything that you have in life. I’ve been making that a priority, and I feel like it’s just been making magic happen all the more.”
In late February, Tucker talked up his relationship with Hudgens during a spring training media session, swooning, “She’s awesome, I love her.”
