Tucker added how he hopes to continue business-as-usual amid media attention over his relationship with Hudgens.
“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,” Tucker said.
Last month, Hudgens and Tucker confirmed they’re an item, posting Valentine’s Day messages to each other on Instagram.
“It’s you, it’s me, it’s us,” Hudgens posted at the time.
Hudgens and Tucker first fueled romance rumors in November. She previously dated actor Austin Butler for nearly nine years.
