Vanessa Hudgens recently shared her gratitude for the journey that led her to her husband, Cole Tucker. The actress reflected on how her past breakups, particularly her split from long-time partner Austin Butler, played a significant role in shaping her current relationship.
Hudgens revealed that her breakup with Butler ultimately led her to find Tucker, whom she described as the most supportive and understanding person she has ever met. The couple got engaged in February 2023 and tied the knot in December of the same year.
Butler, on the other hand, recently clarified his comments about Hudgens, explaining that he referred to her as a 'friend' in a bid to respect her privacy. The actor, who is now dating model Kaia Gerber, shared a story about Hudgens encouraging him to pursue an Elvis role, a narrative that fans connected to a similar account Hudgens had shared during their relationship.
The couple's breakup in January 2020, after nine years of dating, was attributed to their demanding work and travel schedules. Following the split, Hudgens was spotted with Tucker in Los Angeles in November, sparking dating rumors. The pair went public with their relationship and announced their engagement shortly after.
Hudgens' reflections on her past relationships and the journey that led her to Tucker highlight the importance of self-discovery and growth in finding lasting love. Both Hudgens and Butler have moved on to new relationships, with Hudgens expressing gratitude for the lessons learned from her past breakups.
