Vanessa Hudgens has announced that she and partner Cole Tucker are engaged.
The former High School Musical star, 34, said she "couldn’t be happier" as she shared the news online on Thursday and gave fans a glimpse of her new diamond ring.
Vanessa - who was previously in a long-term relationship with Elvis star Austin Butler - shared an snap of herself and the Major League Baseball star posing in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Instagram as she confirmed the happy news.
"YES. We couldn’t be happier," the newly-engaged star captioned the snaps.
Emily in Paris actress Lily Collins was one of the first to comment on Vanessa's post on Thursday night, writing: "Ahhh congrats mama!!!!!!"
Modern Family actress and Love Island USA host Sarah Hyland added: "Couldn't be happier, Right here Look what we've got A fairy-tale plot, Our very own happy ending."
"Love you guys," Ashley Benson commented, as designer Jeremy Scott declared: "SKETCHING THE DRESS NOW !!!"
Vanessa went on to limit the comments on her engagement announcement post.
Vanessa first announced her relationship with the sports star on Instagram official on Valentine's Day in 2021.
Cole later opened up about his love for her during an MLB spring training interview.
"I got a girlfriend and she’s cool. She’s awesome, I love her," he said at the beginning of 2021.
"But I don’t want it to be, ‘Oh, Cole’s dating Vanessa … ’ I don’t want it to be treated any differently than Mitch [Keller] having his wife down, or Ke’Bryan [Hayes] having his girlfriend come down.
"She’s great. She’ll be around. You will see her, but you saw the headline, it is what it is."
According to Vanessa, she and Cole met during a 'Zoom meditation group', which she called 'very random.'
She also said: "He’s just kind of perfect for me. I am [happy]. I really am. I think that it’s also so important to stay grateful for everything that you have in life.
"I’ve been making that a priority, and I feel like it’s just been making magic happen all the more."
In May 2021, she appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show and discussed how she made the first move on him.
"If I want something or someone, I’m going after them,"she explained.
"I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, ‘Hey, it was nice to meet you.’ So I think there is no shame in making the first move."
Since starring in the popular Disney franchise with Zac Efron, the US singer and actress has appeared in films including Bad Boys For Life and Tick, Tick…Boom!.
She previously dated Zac Efron from 2006 to 2010, as well as Oscar-nominated actor Austin for nine years before splitting in 2020.
