Vanessa Hudgens reacts to pregnancy rumors ahead of Cole Tucker wedding
Vanessa Hudgens is shutting down speculation that she’s pregnant ahead of her wedding to fiancé Cole Tucker.
“Not pregnant so y’all can stop,” she told curious fans in a Tuesday Instagram comment.
The remark was made in response to followers questioning why she chose to wear hoodies and baggy attire during a bachelorette weekend celebration in Aspen, Colo.
“Why does she look pregnant to me or like she’s trying to hide a bump 🤔🤔,” one social media user wrote as another inquired, “OMG is she pregnant??”
While the “High School Musical” alum, 34, isn’t expecting a baby, she is expecting a lifetime of happiness with Tucker, 27 — whom she accepted a proposal from in December 2022.
Hudgens, who shared an Instagram photo of her ring two months later, gushed over the milestone this April during an interview with “Today.”

“It feels amazing. It’s so funny, I was talking about this with Cole. People are always like, ‘Does it feel different? [Do] things feel different [getting engaged]?’ That was always my question normally, but now I get to be asked it,” she said at the time.
“And you know what, it actually does. There’s a sense of security. You feel so safe. It’s the best thing ever. I love being a fiancée.”
The “Say OK” singer and the baseball player sparked dating rumors in November 2020. They eventually made their relationship Instagram-official in February 2021.
Prior to Tucker, Hudgens notably dated “Elvis” actor Austin Butler for nearly a decade. They got together in 2011 and split in January 2020.
Following the breakup, the former Disney Channel star told “Entertainment Tonight” that she was looking for a partner who — famous or not — shared “similar fundamentals” with her.
“I am not picky, really. I know what I want and I’m like, if someone comes into the picture and can give me all those things, then great,” she explained.
“It doesn’t matter if they’re in the public eye or not. If anything, I prefer them not to be, but we’ll see.”
It seems as though Hudgens has found a great match in Tucker, who praised the “cool” and “awesome” actress during a February 2021 interview with reporters at an MLB training camp.
“I got a girlfriend and she’s cool. She’s awesome, I love her,” he said, per Us Weekly.
“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.”
