Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker are engaged after more than two years together, it has been reported.
Outlets including TMZ Sports and Life & Style, confirmed the happy news, with both citing sources close to the couple.
TMZ Sports reported that a source told them that Tucker proposed sometime at the end of last year.
A source told the latter publication that the two are "keeping it on the down-low for now and enjoying the moment but plan to make an official announcement any day."
Hudgens, 34, shared in an April 2021 interview with Entertainment Tonight that she first met Cole during a Zoom meditation group.
"Me and Cole met on a Zoom meditation group. Very random, yes," the High School Musical alum said. "Zoom, you've got to love it."
Gushing over the 26-year-old shortstop, she added: "He's just kind of perfect for me. I am [happy]. I really am. 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."
Cole returned the favor in an MLB spring training interview in 2021, saying: "I got a girlfriend and she’s cool. She’s awesome, I love her."
Per The Mirror, he continued: "But I don’t want it to be, ‘Oh, Cole’s dating Vanessa … ’ I don’t want it to be treated any differently than Mitch [Keller] having his wife down, or Ke’Bryan [Hayes] having his girlfriend come down.
"She’s great. She’ll be around. You will see her, but you saw the headline, it is what it is."
In May 2021, the former Disney star appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show and got candid about making the first move on her beau.
"If I want something or someone, I’m going after them,"she explained. "I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, ‘Hey, it was nice to meet you.’ So I think there is no shame in making the first move."
Check out what Hudgens had to say here:Before she and Cole became an item, the Spring Breakers star was in a relationship with Austin Butler - who recently received his first Academy Award nomination for his performance as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann's Elvis.
Butler was cast as the the King of Rock 'n' Roll back in July 2019 while he and Hudgens were still together.
The following month, Hudens revealed while guest hosting Live With Kelly and Ryan that she had the idea for him to play the legendary performer even before Luhrmann's biopic was announced.
"It's so crazy because last December, we were driving along and we were listening to Christmas music, and then an Elvis Presley Christmas song came on," she recalled.
"He had just dyed his hair dark — he’s a natural blonde — and I was looking at him and he was singing along and I was like, ‘Babe, you need to play Elvis,’” she went on. “‘I don’t know how, but I’m serious. You need to play him.'"
She continued: "Then in January, he was sitting at the piano — he’s a musician — and he’s playing and he’s singing and I’m like, I don’t know how, but you need to figure out how you can play Elvis. Like, I don’t know how we get rights or what we do, but you need to play him."
