“I was literally on the Zoom with my girlfriend, and I started hitting her asking who he was, and she had never seen him before,” Hudgens revealed in an interview in December in Vogue. “So I proceeded to look on the Zoom square to find out his name and found him on Instagram — and he sent a DM the next day.”
Then she, Hudgens, the “Sucker Punch” actress -who dated Austin Butler for more than nine years prior to they parted ways in early 2020 breakup was at the beginning of a brand new adventure. “After our first weekend together, I called my sister and I was like, ‘I think I just found my future husband,” Hudgens told on the Episode of April 20, 2023, on ” Today With Hoda & Jenna.” “The foresight!”
In the same way, Tucker’s head was playing a role early during their romance. Soon after the couple became Instagram formal the day before Valentine’s Day in 2021, Tucker publicly deleted the word “love”.
“I got a girlfriend and she’s cool,” the player from the baseball team said to KDKA the same month. “She’s awesome. I love her.”
Hudgens and Tucker took their relationship to the next stage of their relationship just two years after and they became engaged during their romantic trip in Paris.
“It’s the most romantic city in the world,” Hudgens revealed to Vogue about the proposal. “I was very surprised. I dropped a hint that that would be the ideal place, but kind of forgot about it because I didn’t want to have any expectations on the trip. I just wanted to enjoy it for what it was, and he caught me completely off guard.”
What about the wedding? It was precisely the wedding they’d been waiting for. Actually, Hudgens said seeing Tucker at the end of the aisle was ” most emotional moment of my life.”
“I literally keeled over when I saw Tucker and had to take a big breath and had to force myself to keep walking because I could have dropped to the floor,” she said of their December. 2 nuptials with guests including some ex- HSM co-stars. “I couldn’t have dreamt it to be any better. I knew it was going to be magical, but it exceeded my expectations.”
