A Love Story for the Ages

Vanessa and Cole started dating in November 2020, just months after her highly publicized breakup with actor Austin Butler. The two lovebirds met on Jay Shetty's Zoom meditation session (yes, you read that right - a meditation app!), and it was love at first sight.

"I feel my last breakup has really catapulted me to a very, very special place," Vanessa gushed during an appearance on the She Pivots podcast. "You pushed me to the right person," she added, referring to Austin, with whom she shared a passionate romance before calling it quits.

But enough about that - let's talk about how Vanessa and Cole fell head over heels in love! According to sources close to the couple, their relationship was a whirlwind romance from the very beginning. They met on Zoom, got engaged in Tulum, Mexico (talk about a romantic getaway!), and tied the knot with a beautiful destination wedding surrounded by 100 friends and family.

Their Love Story Unfolds

The ceremony was officiated by none other than Jay Shetty himself, who performed a breathtaking ritual that left Vanessa speechless. "I literally keeled over when I saw Cole at the altar," she confessed in an interview with Vogue. "I had to take a big breath and force myself to keep walking because I could have dropped to the floor."

Vanessa and Cole's vows were written by the couple themselves, a beautiful gesture that speaks volumes about their love for each other.

"It is the most beautiful thing ever in a relationship to be that open and vulnerable and raw in front of all of the people you love proclaiming your love," Vanessa gushed. "It’s just beautiful. I loved it."

Family Life

Fast-forward to present day, and we find ourselves with a very happy couple who are expecting their second baby together! The one-year-old tot is already adorable, dressed in a Halloween-themed onesie, while the mom-to-be (Vanessa) showed off her growing bump in a cropped blue T-shirt.

The actress looked absolutely stunning as she doted on her little one, who was captivated by a small brown dog at The Henry restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona. Vanessa's glossy jet-black locks were pulled back into a neat top knot bun, while she sported sunglasses and platform sandals for a relaxed yet chic look.

Pregnancy Number Two!

In July, Vanessa announced her second pregnancy with a series of professional maternity photos featuring herself and Cole. The California native was clad in a midriff-baring white top and matching long skirt, showcasing her growing belly.

The couple captioned their joint Instagram post: "Round two!!!!" - an exciting development for the couple and their fans!
