In a romantic twist worthy of a movie, talented actress Vanessa Hudgens and baseball standout Cole Tucker made their fans wonder if they had said “I do” yet. The couple announced their engagement on February 9, and have been tight-lipped about the details of their wedding ever since.

Speculation reached a fever pitch after recent photos surfaced of Hudgens on the beaches of Tulum, Mexico, in a simple white dress and barefoot. The pictures, accompanied by an emotional description from close friend Monique Coleman, who shared a photo from the same location, fueled a wave of rumors about a possible secret ceremony.

“Last morning in paradise,” wrote Coleman, Hudgens’ colleague from the famous series. High school musical. The photos capture seemingly emotional moments, fueling speculation that the couple sealed their love with an intimate celebration.

This possible secret relationship would fit perfectly with the low-key attitude Hudgens and Tucker have maintained since announcing their engagement. Despite her fame, the 34-year-old actress shared minimal details about her wedding preparations, revealing in a recent interview with Drew Barrymore that the task was more stressful than she imagined.

“It’s complicated. Finding a place is hard. The truth is, I feel like running away and doing everything in secret,” Hudgens admitted on the Barrymore show earlier this year.

The love story between Hudgens and Tucker began in the midst of the 2021 coronavirus pandemic. They met in a virtual meditation group via Zoom, where Hudgens took the lead by writing to Tucker privately. “I immediately jumped into his DMs and said, ‘Hey, nice to meet you,'” the actress shared during a previous interview.

As speculation mounts, the couple’s followers are anxiously awaiting official confirmation, wondering if these pictures reveal the beginning of a new chapter in Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker’s love story. (AND)
