The 36-year-old actress captioned her post: “Most magical Italian castle wedding ever? I think yes.” Along with images of her dazzling outfit and snapshots capturing the whimsical wedding setup, Vanessa’s posts radiate happiness and excitement about the future as she approaches the arrival of their second child. Vanessa and Cole announced their second pregnancy in July 2025, a year after welcoming their first child, sharing maternity photos that revealed her growing belly and the couple’s wide smiles.


Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker’s love story has charmed many since they first met in 2020. The couple got engaged in early 2023 during a romantic proposal in Paris, a moment Vanessa beautifully shared on Instagram. Their intimate destination wedding followed on December 2, 2023, at the Azulik Hotel in Tulum, Mexico, surrounded by nature and lush greenery rather than traditional venues like beaches or ballrooms. The ceremony was officiated by popular monk and motivational speaker Jay Shetty.

For her wedding, Vanessa wore an ivory Vera Wang gown exuding ‘90s supermodel glamour with a cowl neck and open back accented by a veil embroidered with “Mrs.T December 2nd, 2023.” She later changed into a playful second Vera Wang dress during the reception, designed for dance and movement, featuring macramé lace and flowing silk mousseline. The wedding was attended by close family and friends, including several of Vanessa’s former High School Musical co-stars, with everyone’s phones taken away.

Fans eagerly await more glimpses of this beloved couple’s journey as they prepare to welcome their second child.
