Vanessa Hudgens Explains Why Relationship With Cole Tucker Feels 'Different'

The 'High School Musical' alum announced her engagement to MLB star Cole Tucker earlier this year.

Vanessa Hudgens is thanking her lucky stars for bringing her together with her fiancé Cole Tucker. 

The High School Musical alum, 34, announced earlier this year that she and the MLB star are engaged to be married—and she believes her relationship has never been the same since he popped the question.

“It feels amazing. It’s so funny, I was talking about this with Cole. People are always like, ‘Does it feel different? [Do] things feel different [getting engaged]?’ That was always my question normally, but now I get to be asked it," the actress spilled to Today's Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on Friday, Apr. 14.

"And you know what, it actually does [feel different]. There’s a sense of security. You feel so safe. It’s the best thing ever," she gushed. "I love being a fiancée."

The Disney Channel alum—who previously dated Elvis actor Austin Butler for nine years—also said that she's known from the start of her romance with Tucker, 26, that they were destined for an endgame relationship.

"After our first weekend together, I called my sister and was like, ‘I think I just found my future husband,'” she recalled, referring to back in 2020, when the pair were first spotted together.

Following reports that Hudgens and Tucker had gotten engaged, the "Say OK" singer confirmed the news with an Instagram photo, as she flashed her ring for the camera while embracing her new husband-to-be.
