The Princess Switch star and the Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop were first linked in November 2020 after they were spotted hugging and holding hands outside of the Canyon Country Store in Los Angeles. That same day, Hudgens shared a photo of herself holding a pink rose with the caption “Date Night.” A few weeks later, in January 2021, a source told E! News Hudgens and Tucker were dating and “stronger than ever.” The source confirmed “they are boyfriend and girlfriend” and added the new couple “rang in the New Year together.”

Hudgens’ new relationship comes after her split with Austin Butler. The former couple had been in a relationship for nine years, with sources confirming in January 2019 that they had called it quits. According to one insider who spoke to PEOPLE, while Hudgens and Butler “really loved each other and have been through some of their toughest life moments together,” their relationship “had been slowly fading — it was one of those things where you don’t even realize it’s happening.”
