Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker got married in December
The surprise red carpet pregnancy announcement came just three months after the couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in December, according to Vogue and Hudgens’ wedding dress designer Vera Wang.
“It was honestly the most magical weekend of my life,” Hudgens later told the outlet. “I’m so grateful that we were able to have a private wedding, and it helped that I brought everyone’s phones.”
She added: “It was amazing because at dinner I looked around and everyone was talking to each other – our family and friend groups coming together and creating real relationships that I know they would really invest time in. To see that and bring everyone together and celebrate us, it was just so magical.
“Likewise, talking about it now brings tears to my eyes. I couldn’t have imagined it any better. I knew it would be magical, but it exceeded my expectations.”
The “Spring Breakers” star married the Los Angeles Angels player in a custom Vera Wang Haute gown, a pale ivory slip dress with a plunging back. She paired the gown with a pale ivory tulle veil featuring custom embroidery that read, “Mrs. T December 2nd, 2023” in gothic font.
Their wedding was a “High School Musical” reunion. The ceremony was attended by a slew of Hollywood stars, including Hudgens’ former “HSM” co-star Monique Coleman.
When did Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker start dating?
The couple have been together since rumors of a relationship first surfaced in 2020. The “High School Musical” star and former Colorado Rockies player made it official on Instagram on Valentine’s Day 2021 and announced their engagement almost exactly a year later.
Tucker proposed in Paris, with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
“I was very surprised. I hinted that this would be the perfect place, but I kind of forgot about it because I didn’t want to have any expectations for the trip,” Hudgens told Vogue after their wedding. “I just wanted to enjoy it for what it was, and he completely surprised me.”
