She was looking over at Cole and couldn’t contain her smile.” 

So, how did the couple meet? Hudgens admitted she slid into Tucker’s direct messages on social media after meeting in a Zoom meditation group. “I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, ‘Hey, it was nice to meet you,'” she said. “So, I think there is no shame in making the first move.”

Hudgens said she had a “midlife crisis” at 27, but when she turned 30, she felt more confident than ever. “I remember waking up at 27 and that was the first moment where I was like, ‘Oh. I am not a kid. I’m not a teenager. I’m an adult and I have responsibilities,'” she told People. “I felt like I had no idea who I was or what I wanted or what I was going after.”

The actor also mentioned that learning self-care was ultra-important heading into her 30s. “The first step was just actually taking care of myself,” she added. “My health, my skin, my body — I feel like by doing so, you’re showing yourself love, so it’s creating that foundation of love for yourself.”

The ‘High School Musical’ star says she’s ‘holding off’ on Botox and fillers

Getting older in Hollywood is tough, but Vanessa Hudgens isn’t deterred by her age. She said she loves staying the “natural route,” and she doesn’t want to get Botox until she feels like she has to.

“I’ve realized that I don’t have the skin that I had when I was 18,” she shared, according to Women’s Health. “I love the natural route. I want to hold off on Botox and fillers until I really, really, really need it.” 

With that said, the High School Musical star has a strict skincare routine. She also wears sunscreen, as she doesn’t want to wrinkle prematurely. And to remove her makeup at the end of the day, she uses a cleansing wipe before cleansing twice more. “I wash twice after using a wipe,” she shared. “Because after a long day of filming, the amount of makeup that is on my face is somewhat disgusting. So, I try to get all of it off.”
