From shooting a documentary in her mother’s native country, Philippines, to getting cast in a horror movie, the actress has a lot on her plate.

Hudgens had been dating Colorado Rockies shortstop Cole Tucker for a few years after meeting in a unique lockdown situation. In December 2022, the couple decided to take the next step and finally announced the news to their fans in January.
