Vanessa Hudgens is “not focusing on marriage” although she is “committed” to her boyfriend Cole Tucker.
The 33-year-old actress marked her one-year anniversary with the baseball star this week, and sources have now said the couple have “gotten serious” with their romance over the past 12 months.
An insider said: “They are very in love. They have gotten to the point of their relationship where they have gotten serious and are committed to each other.
But the ‘Princess Switch’ star is also said to be “committed to her career” and isn’t ready to start thinking about marriage just yet.
The source added: “However, Vanessa is also committed to her career and not in that headspace right now where she’s focusing on marriage.”
Instead, Vanessa and Cole, 25, are working on the “next step” of their relationship – moving in together.
And as they weigh up their options for the future, the couple continue to be “super understanding” of each other’s careers and schedules.
The source told Us Weekly magazine: “They are super understanding of each other’s careers and give each other space to be free and thrive. They both have accepted the fact that their lives, including their relationship, are in the spotlight despite both of them being private.
“They really make an effort to see each other as much as they can but also miss each other when they are apart — it makes their reunions that much more special and meaningful.”
Vanessa met Cole through a Zoom meditation group over lockdown, and the ‘High School Musical’ alum admitted earlier this year that she was the one who made the first move.
She said: "If I want something or someone, I'm going after them. I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, 'Hey, it was nice to meet you.' So, I think there is no shame in making the first move. Why wait for someone else to give you what you want?"
