It’s unclear when Hudgens and Tucker got engaged.

Their romance began during the pandemic. Hudgens told Entertainment Tonight in 2021 that they met in a Zoom meditation class.

On Valentine’s Day in 2021, the “High School Musical” and “tick, tick… BOOM!” star, 34, and the Major League Baseball player, 26, made her relationship public on Instagram with a photo of the both of them.

Since then, Hudgens has shared photos supporting Tucker at baseball games and Tucker has accompanied Hudgens as her plus one for red carpet events, including at last year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards.
