High School Musical
The Wildcat family is growing, and Zac Efron couldn’t be happier. In an interview with Access Hollywood at the premiere of his new film A Family Affair on Thursday night, the actor gushed about his High School Musical co-stars Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens being pregnant at the same time. “Oh they’re going to be […]
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are currently living out a grown-up, real-life version of Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez’s love story in High School Musical, and Zac Efron is officially here for it. In a recent interview published Monday (Feb. 26), the Iron Claw star was asked for his take on fan comparisons between Tayvis […]
It appears that wedding bells may be in order for Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker! According to People, the High School Musical star and the professional baseball player, tied the knot in Tulum, Mexico.
Although both Hudgens, 34, and Tucker, 27, have yet to comment on the reports, photos of the Tick, Tick… Boom! star posing in a white dress made the rounds on X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend (Dec. 3). A post from former High School Musical co-star Monique Coleman added more fuel to the rumors; the Emmy-nominated host shared clips of a sunny beach on her Instagram Story, tagging her location as Tulum, Mexico.
Billboard has reached out to representatives for both Hudgens and Tucker for comment.
In a 2021 Drew Barrymore Show interview, Hudgens recounted how got in touch with Tucker after meeting him in a Zoom meditation group during the peak of COVID-19 lockdowns. “I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, ‘Hey it was nice to meet you,’” she said. “I think there’s no shame in making the first move. If you want it, why wait for someone else to give you what you want?”
On Valentine’s Day 2021 (Feb. 14), Hudgens made the couple Instagram official when she posted a sweep snap of them sharing a kiss. “It’s you, it’s me, it’s us. @cotuck ❤️💋🤟🏽,” she captioned the post. By Feb. 9, 2023, the couple confirmed their engagement — again via Instagram — with a post captioned, “YES. We couldn’t be happier.”
News of Hudgens’ reported marriage closes a busy year for the multi-hyphenate. This year, she starred in the Lily Rabe-directed drama Downtown Owl, hosted the pre-show for the 95th Academy Awards and continued to prep for the forthcoming fourth installment of the Bad Boys franchise.
Vanessa Hudgens has earned 15 entries on the Billboard Hot 100, including the top 10 hits “Breaking Free” (No. 4) and “What Time Is It” (No. 6) from the High School Musical and High School Musical 2 soundtracks, respectively. On the Billboard 200, she has charted both of her solo studio albums: 2006’s V (No. 24) and 2008’s Identified (No. 23).
The fourth and final season of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is hitting Disney+ next month, but the show isn’t saying goodbye without some of its OG Wildcats. In an exclusive clip of the opening number shared with Billboard on Tuesday (July 25), Corbin Bleu, Monique Coleman, Lucas Grabeel and Kaycee Stroh take the […]
While the Wildcats often seemed like they were “all in this together,” Monique Coleman didn’t always agree.
The star, who played the smart president of East High’s science club Taylor McKessie in the Disney Channel franchise, recently joined fellow Disney album Christy Carlson Romano on the latter’s most recent episode of her Vulnerable podcast. “Disney really broke my heart because when I got to the third movie, in so many ways, I really championed the film,” she explained. “I really always spoke so positively, and I was a black girl playing the smartest girl in school which was a very big deal at that time. And when it came to promoting the third movie, I wasn’t invited on the tour.”
She added that “they said something about there not being enough room on the plane,” and ended up only bringing along her costars Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and Corbin Bleu. Lucas Grabeel, who plays Ryan Evans in the trilogy, was also not invited.

“That heartbreak really hit me very deeply and did cause a bit of a depression because it helped me to recognize that I was overly identifying with what I was doing and not who I was,” she added. “And that was what led me to take that step and say, ‘Maybe this is my five minutes of fame. Maybe this is it in some way. And if that is the case, then what am I going to do with it.’”
